I made a very simple but delicious drink, Yellow Snow, (pineapple vodka and pineapple juice).

[VAiN]

This is a good beer.

I made a very simple but delicious drink, Yellow Snow, (pineapple vodka and pineapple juice).

Think I had something like that with regular vodka a few years back - only it had some fresh pineapple in it, so it wasn't the typical canned or bottled juice. Blended really well with the plain vodka, so I imagine the flavored stuff would work even better.

Ironically enough, though it seems like a "summer" kind of drink, I'm reasonably certain I was drinking them on a winter holiday - probably Christmas Eve... possibly Thanksgiving.

This is a good beer.

Don't see the Goose Island stuff this far out west very often, but I usually pick some up if I run into it.

The "Bourbon County" stouts they have on their website look especially interesting

Looks hearty.. I'll keep en eye out. Do you have a retailer called Total Wine there? They have a selection that is mind blowing.

They just opened a Total Wine on the west side of town. Haven't made it over there yet, but it looks impressive from the ads they send me every week. I'm guessing it's similar to a place called "AppleJacks" in Colorado.... pretty much the Costco of alcohol.

Yeah, that's an accurate description. It's overwhelming, but in a good way. Do check it out when you get a chance.

Holy shit this is good!

There´s only one liquor store here, that sells from time to time the pineapple flavored Vodka, we have a strong imports restrictions, so you never know if you are going to see the same product again, and we don´t have any canned or bottled pineapple juice.

I bought the fresh pineapple to make a Piña Colada or Painkiller drink, but the Wyborowa Pineapple flavored Vodka made me change my mind, so try it when you can, It´s really worthwhile, even in Winter!!

Knarly! A nice, rich cold weather beer with a hefty 6.8% ABV...

Is it super hoppy? I find the Sierra pale ale to be a bit much for my taste.

Not, it's not as hoppy. Try a sample in the pub, some should even carry this on tap...

[VAiN]

A bit on the hoppy side


Not overly hoppy


This was juuuuust right! A good beer.

[VAiN]

Classing up the thread with a delicious Lambic.

[So this is love]

Many thanks! Vain .......I cant wait try these next time I'm in FLA...

[katina]

I have no idea how to call this drink, totally improvised.

Watermelon crushed with Citrus Vodka and lot of ice, perfect for Summertime.

[vandeleur]

They look very refreshing

[BITEYOASS]

Extra strong coffee that I am making for the Tiramisu.

[VAiN]

Green Screwdriver
I made a Screwdriver and added some Blue Curacao, green and delicious.

I was lucky to find this Single Malt; I bought it for a special gift.

[Seshmeister]

That is some seriously classy booze.

[Seshmeister]

I was in Buenos Aires in 2005 and everything felt very inexpensive.

I was talking to someone this week and they were saying it's gone crazy these days and even a beer costs a fortune, is that true?

And if it is true how much was that malt?

A fortune!!! Those are the exact words my husband said, when we found that Single Malt and I told him I was going to buy it for him
I don´t know exactly how much was, I paid it in Pesos, and we cannot buy foreign currency, the goverment is forcing us to keep our devaluated pesos.
But 1 US$ is around 10 pesos at the Black Market, so I paid around 70 or 90 US$.

Some friends invited us to have some drinks at the bar the Sofitel hotel, (I will post some photos soon) and I asked the prize for a night and is around 400 US$, everything cost a fortune, we have a very high inflation.

And it´s gone crazy to say the least. The police went on strike at many provinces and people began to rob shops and homes.
At least 10 people have been killed, and we hope that the looting by mobs will not spread to the capital.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Argentina´s return to democracy, and our Kretin president organized a Megafestival, a huge stage has been constructed in front of the government palace, she should postpone the show.

Looking back it's hugely ironic that Britain won the Falklands war leading us to having 6 more years of Thatcher(she was going to lose the next election before that) who devastated Scotland and was hated here whereas losing the war helped Argentina get rid of her military junta and become a democracy.

Even in 2005 the good hotels were expensive.

It was 95 pesos, 10 US$.

I suppose that's not too crazy bad, average European hotel price.

Just bought a 12 of Bud Black Crown. What is wrong with me?

Just bought a 12 of Bud Black Crown. What is wrong with me?

I have never heard of Bud Black Crown before now. I'm not a Bud drinker, at all - not for many years - but if I see it I will give it a try.

Right now I am drinking some kind of white wine - god knows what. I know fuck all about wine, apart from having a slight preference for Spanish reds. Virgin Wines kindly sent me a case of mixed wines (on account of me joining their wine club a few days ago).

All I can say is that it's chilled and it is wet and I am feeling RE-LAXED, so I guess it's all well and good ...

until tomorrow, when I wake up to discover that I have had, well, more than one bottle.

cheers!
