Dinner with friends last Sunday night - they bring out Mike's Hard Lemonade. Pour some out. Fill the bottle back up with either dark rum or vodka. I had the dark rum. Tasted much like a LIIT. Did the same job, too.

Sometimes I don't know why everyone is not an alcoholic.

We were out doing stuff and I was all unsettled. So, for our snack, we stopped at TGIFridays.

Long Island Ice Tea.

In no time at all I'm happy. Enjoying the otherwise ADD-nightmarish hubbub of the bar. Everyone is beautiful. The world is sweet. The food is DEEElicious. I am so cute.

Knob's my favorite upper-mid priced bourbon, but it's kinda a knock you over the head BOURBON!!! flavor. Not subtle. A double o' that, with ice cube in there, makes for a happy me.

The site recommends "on the rocks" with a garnish of cucumber. Oddly, that doesn't appeal to me.

I do like the Woodford, haven't tried Knob Creek yet.

I bought a bottle o' that last year.  I'm about halfway through, and I've decided that it's very good, but possibly almost too smooth, sweet, and vanilla-ish.  For the price range, I think I'll stick with Knob Creek.  For now.

FYI, I also have a brand new bottle of Woodford Reserve that I'll get to.  Eventually.

Yeah, I know about the infusion.  It must be the garnish that I remember your mentioning.  I'll try it with the Hendrick's!  Noting the Pimm's No. 1 Cup for the future, thanks.  :)

Good point. And my martinis are barely dirty.

Sounds like a drink for a little girl.

Apparently, it's infused with essence of cucumber and rose petals, which would explain the amazing smooth-iosity!  And if you like the gin/cucumber thing, I also highly recommend Pimm's No. 1 Cup, with tonic and a peel of cucumber.  But not if you're driving.  Or walking.

Tonight it's Giori Cream Lemoncillo.

I could try it in a perfect martini... might be orgasmic for all I know.

Got it. Thanks. Tonic doesn't agree with me (at all), so I'll wait for someone else to buy it so I can try it.

Tell me about the cucumbers, please.  I can Google, but you have experience with that.

I haven't tried it in a dirty.  There's always Sapphire in the freezer for those or Tanqueray or Gordon's if I forget to replenish it.  It's sweeter, no bite.
