I am mixing this with milk, folgers crystals and chocolate syrup. Yum.

Why bother with the cheap one. Number 57--100 Proof.

I like to try most of the liquors. Also recommended commercial vodkas: Absolut, Stoynich and Ketel One. Smirnoff is fine and I don't consider it low quality at all.

Number 57 is Smirnoff--100 proof, not 80.

Only cigarettes and coffee. Alcoholism is the left path to degradation.

There is a huge difference between being an alcoholic and enjoying the occasional drink

Coconut Rum Taste Test

  I usually get Malibu and that brand is fine. Tried Largo some months ago had no issue with it. Now I got Zeal and Don Q and either my sense of taste is bad today or they both seem a bit too much like coconut flavored rubbing alcohol. Maybe someone got into my liquor and ruined it or maybe my tongue is off today. Hmm.. but it appears Malibu is the best so far. Maybe thats why its the most popular

But of the two I have now Don Q is definitely richer and fuller in flavor than Zeal. Zeal tastes sort of flat and stale in comparison.

Second Coconut Rum Rating

Theres actually quite a few coconut rums on the shelf now and at this time I picked up Malibu, Largo, Don Q and Bacardi. Immediate comparison knocks Largo out instantly, dont know what I was thinking last time I got it. So now its Don Q but I havent given the Bacardi a good chance yet. Malibu is definitely the sweetest and smoothest but Don Q has a richer coconut taste.

I want to make that AND I want to put it in a martini glass with the edible glitter.

Mike's Hard Lemonade + Bacardi Coconut Rum = Pretty Damn Good.

You heard it here first.

Nothing beats good whisky.
But occasionally I just want beer because it's refreshing.

Oddly, I could drink a pint of Jack and be just about fine the next day, but sometimes a sixpack will make me feel awful.

I actually just bought a nice little copper still on Amazon and I can't wait to try it. Doing research first. I have an A.S..in Microbio and Chem so that helps. Need to start shopping for ingredients soon.

If you like whiskey youll love Grand Marnier. Mid price range worth every penny.

I've had it. It was ok, IMO. Not bad at all

I've come to really like Old Tin Cup..I'll buy it when on sale. Proper Twelve and Tullamore Dew too.

Nice light colored straight-up American whiskey, not a bourbon. Semi-polished and not too harsh. No phantom flavor notes, just a well made simple whisky.
