# Griffy
I need a new exciting and sophisticated drink to enjoy and with which to impress people with how cool I am - what can you furnish me with/suggest?

I tried a new Scottish Vodka the other day which contains milk thistle and it was jolly nice.

# Absinthe and coke
/autocomplete
Bloody lovely, it is. Tastes like blackjack sweets.

# ha - thanks - never thought of that...
I'm a little cautious when getting new mixed drinks at the moment because everything seems to contain Red Bull which is evil

EVER!

would I not be mixing them in equal measures?

# Red Bull is indeed evil.
Just put a tiny splash of Absinthe into a big glass of cold coke.
add too much and it goes a horrible sludgey yellow and tastes too strong,
add just a little bit and it's gorgeously decadent and yummy.

# hmmm
If you can get hold of Milagro tequila, then that is impressive.

If you are looking for sweet but nice, then try Passoa

If you want to remortgage your house then try Louis XIII Black Pearl

different but cheap - Sailor Jerry Rum

Hendrick's gin with tonic and cucumber for that summer twist

thanks... my occasion is I get bored of the limited selection of good things to drink and I'm friendly with a barman who might be prepared to get better things in for me if I were to ask nicely.

I'll check all of those out (I like SJR and enjoy a Hendrick's and tonic).

# Monkey Shoulder whisky is probably the best whisky for mixing
Balvenie for single malt

# I have a long list of malts, but thanks anyway
Balvenie make a smashing single. I've been on a pretty good run of form recently with my malts, especially for in the house... built up a great collection of cask strength bottles - some quite hard to get hold of :D

# oooh what's it called?

# it's called Pincer
and it makes a damned good drink... if you're lucky you'll find it cheap in various places at the moment because they're promoting it. It's a lot softer and smoother than other Vodkas I've had, which I though would put me off but it's very enjoyable:

also - it looks like they could use some help with their website:

1/2pt Vodka

Preparation:

1. Mix Morrison's White Cider with Vodka.
2. Consume.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 three times.

# well - you've lived to tell the tale
so it can't be that bad -- perhaps I saw you at Glasto last year - were you wearing a Furtive T Shirt?

# Maybe. I didn't really know what I was doing.
Actually no I wasn't. I have the B3ta t shirt I made but nothing else.
