Old Man Drinks

[Mals9]

I have a fully stocked bar with all the accoutrements and I enjoy the occasional cocktail, Jameson on the rocks or Jim Beam and coke are the staples.

Makers Mark Manhattan....nectar of the Gods.

My favorite "old man drink"....a cup (or pot) of fresh, hot coffee. Pretty boring I know. Historically though, my results based on my coffee consumption are more predicable than with fire water. Haven't gone there since 1971.

For me, this would = 3-4 trips to the john.

I'm sorry, but I'm a charter member of CPNBJ - the Committee for the Prevention of Naming Bathrooms "Johns."

At my house, the bathrooms are named "Jims."

Sometimes (rarely) I'm asked how I manage to stay in shape at age 81. I tell 'em I don't miss a day going to the Jim.

You're preaching to the choir here, Caj. I feel naked and abandoned if I don't have a good supply of this stuff laid in.
Jim Beam is fine if mixed for a Manhattan, but for pure sipping Bourbon pleasure, it's always Rebel Yell!

Only tourist , hippies or the sexually confused adulterate good liquor....

… And only sissies need a glass!

When I started drinking back in college, I became fond of the Old Fashioned. After a few years, I switched to Gin and Tonic. Then I discovered that adding a dash of grenadine, or alternatively maraschino cherry juice, added a little fruity sweetness to the G&T and eliminated all of the harshness. That is the only cocktail my wife and I have consumed for at least the last 40 years (she also drinks Chardonnay, but I do not). Preferably made with Fleischmann gin but any brand of gin is OK. Some call that drink a Sea Breeze, I just call it a pink G&T.

My now departed Mother-in-law (who died at age 108 in late 2018) loved her Rebel Yell neat. She was a true Southern lady from deepest Alabama, and wanted to be buried there. And so she was.

My beer comes in 30-packs. I usually buy 2 at a time. How does the math figure in for that?

We are way beyond simple math. We are discussing the topic of being prepared at all times, never trusting in others to make sure we have the minimum necessities.

Enjoy!

"Booker's" Manhattans with a splash of Grand Marnier- straight up.

None of that wimpy 80 proof stuff.

That’s some tasty stuff. Has a nice, nutty flavor, and goes down dangerously easy. One drink usually does the trick.

My father and mother at the Tahoe Calif summer cabin would
visit the neighbors on both sides of us and have toddy or two, while getting together with old friends.

One cabin was Famous for it's Old Fashion's and the time it took to grind the "Mix" and the correct way was to use a match,
if you know your bartending, to get it just right.

I do agree that an extra fine touch to little details can add a lot to a drink........... even if it just the temperature of the glass and its shape.

Never woke up in a ditch because I drank too much coffee!

Old man drinks?

How about Metamucil straight up with a Pepto-Bismol chaser?

 

[4barrel]

Some people call them 6-packs. To me they are support groups.

Some people call them 12-packs. I prefer to think of them as a 12-step program.

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not; most likely part of God's sense of balance in the universe.

I think I'll have another beer now.

I found it for you.

But I have been caught peeing in one for that reason.

At our wedding reception the father of the bride was making 7&7's for anybody with one or more hands free! His definition of a 7&7 is as follows: a tall (preferably clean) glass, 7 ice cubes and fill with anything that flows out of a Seagram's bottle! Pretty much, one will do you!
