Yo dawg, we heard you like sazeracs so we put sazerac in your sazerac and served it in a sazerac
Guess tonight I’m having a sazerac?!
Anyways… jester king in cans is the best thing ever

You may have heard of shower beer… allow me to introduce, the shower Sazerac (close cousin of the ultimate “I had a **** day” beverage the shower-Treuse)

What do you think of the double rye high west? I've had the bourbon with the antelope and the one with the ram, and neither one really impressed me. Wondering if maybe your impressions were a bit more favorable?
Double rye is great imo - it’s quite a bit more rye spice to than most, which I appreciate. Double Rye and MWND (at retail) are the only two bottles they do that I think are worth the price.
It’s been a while since I had High West. When they first started to blow up their flagship product was Rendezvous Rye and you could get it less than 50 at costco if I remember correctly. Really liked that value at the time. Everything went up by 10-20 dollars and I agree that it enters a price point where competition is fierce. I’ve tried Bourye, Campfire, Double Rye, and Rendezvous. Still like Rendezvous the best out of the bunch.

Widow Jane.
Fever-Tree Ginger Beer
If you like tonic water. Their elderflower tonic is excellent!
Never even had tonic water, but I'll try it if I see any.
Not missing out. It’s basically terrible flavored soda water
I beg to differ, tonight’s drink is Botanist Gin and Tonic with Fever Tree Light Tonic water. It’s excellent. But, to each their own.
I'll try it and see
I love gin but can’t do tonic water. Maybe I just need a different brand, but the store brand stuff by me is awfulI beg to differ, tonight’s drink is Botanist Gin and Tonic with Fever Tree Light Tonic water. It’s excellent. But, to each their own.
I think Fever Tree is really quite good. Makes it hard to go back to anything else.

You can actually make your own tonic water at home, and I doubt it'd be very difficult to make something better than the store bought

Etna Rosso tonight
I like the regular Fever Tree best with gin, but love the 'light' for mixing with Cynar (and lemon).I beg to differ, tonight’s drink is Botanist Gin and Tonic with Fever Tree Light Tonic water. It’s excellent. But, to each their own.

this one’s for you.
I will say the tonic is significantly better than Shcweps but i think I’m just not a tonic water guy.
Gin with a splash of soda water and lime is just so much smoother

But if an odd one tonight - Saratoga Brace Up. Cognac, absinthe, lemon, and an egg
Portuguese white blend. Mystery in a bottle, especially near room temperature.
