I don't enjoy alcohol anymore.

You have to order the Maraschino so that you can impress the ladies with your tongue-tying skillzzz.

Or his guy friends like Btown Hustla. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

That is a traveshamockery. What a waste of good Scotch. And I love Manhattans!

i've never had a manhattan.

 

[elcap15]

They are delicious, and knock you on your ass.

2 parts Bourbon (or scotch), 1 part vermouth, and a splash of bitters and grenadine.

Thats how I make mine anyway.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Yeah, I've never made one with single-malt. I generally don't add vermouth, either, since my friends aren't fans and it's a B1tCH to get the vermouth taste out of the shaker.

You use the bitters AND the vermouth? Interesting.

 

[elcap15]

I dont see how its a Manhattan without the vermouth.

You make it the same way as me, just no Vermouth?

 

[BlazerWookee]

Hey everyone, it's Ward Weaver?

Ward Weaver <> Ward Cleaver.

Just sayin'.

 

[elcap15]

After some quick research, A Manhattan was originally made with Whisky, but it is more commonly made now with Bourbon. Also mixing ratios usually go anywhere between 1:1 and 4:1 Whisky/Bourboun/Scotch: Vermouth.

Before my son was born, a stop for a pop was de rigeur. I love happy hour and there's a great pub on the ground floor of the building next door to our office. However, now when work is done, I just want to get home and spend time with my boy.

Fatherhood has turned me into Ward Cleaver. That being said, after the little man heads to bed, I do enjoy sitting on my porch with a libation and a stogie with friends. Unfortunately for me, I put on some excess weight on our extended road show so I'm on the wagon until I hit my goal.

I agree here. I used to be wild. Then I had a kid. It turned my life around and I have not been in a bar since. I just want to be with my son when work is done.

Try getting into wine . . . it can turn into a fun hobby. I joined a local wine club . . . and now I'm hooked.

He speaks the truth. My grandmother and I drink wine. She goes to a lot of wine clubs and loves it! I can see myself getting hooked too.

Well I think maxiep can take it and he has said a lot of crazy things towards me .. . but if it offends someone else, then my bad.

-Edited-

yeah man!!! No matter how bad someone talks ish to you, you never bring their kids in it!!!!

"Sex with women" is not spelled "alcohol"

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

uhhh...i disagree.

It is if you're between the ages of 14 and 70.

 

[mook]

Wow, this thread took a turn for the worse.

Not really. I think they are flirting. You have to be drunk to spot it, though.

 

[Denny Crane]

I was suggesting the thread title is misspelled.

 

[mook]

i've never had a manhattan.

I have. Inevitably they start droning on about this great stock tip or how the little Thai place in the Village is so overrated in Zagats. It's not so bad. I just wish they'd shut up until after I've finished.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I was suggesting the thread title is misspelled.

Oh.

Well why didn't you say so?

 

[BenDavis503]

I want to get drunk now. Thanks thread.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

degenerates.

I work in the industry. May I ask what club you joined? As much as I enjoy good wine, nothing will ever replace.....the redbull and vodka up in my hand...
