Nov. 10th, 2017 01:06 pm1) If you had to drink one thing for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
potable water. how is there another answer?
2) What is the first thing you drink in the morning?
water.
3) What do you drink with your lunch? dinner?
lately i've been having a soylent variant for lunch, so technically i'm drinking my lunch. sometimes i also have water or tea.
dinner, it depends in how my day has been. tea, a can of beer/hard cider, or a mixed drink.
4) What is your favorite mixed drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)? Give the recipe.
this changes all the time. but if C is home, i might ask him to make me a Whisky Sour.
his method:
he's always messing with the bitters, but usually one of the citrus ones from Scrappy's. and there are something like four or five variations on boozy cherries in the fridge. it started out with a jar of Maraschino...
5) What drink brings back a special memory for you?
Buttered Rum. the first time i had it was at a family dinner in Colonial Williamsburg.* it was the first time we had a dinner together (mom & dad, adult children & spouses, niece and nephew) after all of us kids were married. that was a special meal and a nice trip.
*i'll note that if you want to do a living history thing, the nearby Historic Jamestowne was much more appealing to me. it's run by the park service so it has a more scholarly focus than the more entertainment-oriented Williamsburg.

his method:
1oz lemon juice
1oz lime juice
2-3 dashes of bitters
1oz simple syrup
1oz+ water (it’s closer to 1.5oz, actually)
1.5oz rye whisky over three ice cubes.
Shake well, serve neat with or without cherries. Egg white foam optional.
