May 3, 200521 yr Years ago it used to be a Long Island Ice Tea or a Cuba Libre (I still have one of them every so often), but now it's mostly Kettle One Martinis, extra dry, and either "Gibson" or "Gimlet". Used to use Absolut, but I prefer K1 now. Finlandia is not bad either, but Grey Goose is over-priced. ;-)After dinner it is either Sambucca Molinari (not Romana either!) or Quaranta y Tres.Thankfully, I have no desire for Louis XIII (despite its name), and at $150 a shot in this area, that's good!Yeah, probably not exactly the kind of post that TA had in mind for this forum.... but! :-lolRegards,http://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...R_FORUM_LOU.jpg

May 3, 200521 yr Hmmmm, well, I can no longer drink because of diabetic condition, but.... I DO like a small swig of ...Brandy - the best I can find around.Scotch - ditto, even, dare I say better than the brandy?Tequela - even more, I don't like ordinary tequela. I got a couple chances to drink some private stock from Mexico; wonderful stuff. :DHowever, if you see my doctor you be sure to tell him I'm NOT drinking anything. :D
May 3, 200521 yr Sounds like we better not ever get together Lou-I am exactly in the same boat (vodka). Agree about Kettle...The good news is no carbs! Healthy! :-)http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
May 3, 200521 yr Hi Staffan,Talking about herring:A while ago I visited Stockholm to attend one of our Scandinavian VA meetings and during that week I stayed with friends in Stockholm.As you may know, herring is in Holland also quite famous, we eat it raw with onions & bread.But you Swedes also have a particular way of eating herring. One day during diner we ate fermentated herring, at least that was what I was told....First I thought they made a joke but they didn't :-) Nevertheless I liked it very much.EDIT:My favourite drink is Scotch and specifically Glennfiddish 15years old malt.
