New Years Eve drinks

[FLTiger]

I just finished packing my cooler for NYE. I decided that this year I will celebrate Cascadian Dark Ales (aka "black IPAs"). The line-up is as follows:

• Stone's Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale (CDA)
• Southern Tier's Iniquity (CDA)
• Blue Point's Toxic Sludge (CDA)
• Stone's Double Bastard (*classified*)
• Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary Fritz and Ken's Ale (Imperial Stout)

And yes, I expect help with these bombers.

What do you expect to be drinking to celebrate the holiday?

Good choices.
Have you tried Otter Creek's Black IPA yet?

I'll be cracking a bottle of Sam Adams Infinium myself.

Well I found this today after deciding to have some wine for NYE

Other than that my selection is pretty cheap cause I'm broke after christmas and I don't want to waste good booze on drinking games and partying but I have:

- Jim Beam white. Never tried it caught my eye and figured why not it'll probably just get mixed anyway.
- Crown Royal
- Glenfiddich 12

I also got a bunch of liqueurs stashed with my SWMBO's alcohol so not sure whats there.

A traditional Eggnog with a splash of rum at some point in the evening. A nice red wine with dinner and then a dram of a single malt later. I will select the single malt from either an 18 or 21 year old from my stock.

Happy New Year all,

Doug

Well, I'm having a little Macallan 12 as I type. Still, early, I know.

never too early. Only reason why I'm not is cause I still gotta shave.

I have not tried Otter Creek's CDA yet; I'll have to put forth some inquiries to see if a distributor in our area carries it.

I thought about the Infinium, but my SN 30th Fritz and Ken's Ale is corked, so that will have to do.

Auchentoshan.

Smooth. Relatively inexpensive. Neat.

I have some Jameson that's been waiting to be opened.

[RegRus]

Father in law brought over some Canadian Mist and 7up. So that's what I had.

 

[BladeDE40]

Grey Goose martinis for the men...pomegranate martinis for the ladies...Proseco to toast with...Happy New Year all!

 

[Clovis Man]

It was cold here last night, so while I was out I picked up a small bottle of sake and had it warmed when I got home. Very nice.

I also picked up, on a friend's recommendation, a bottle of "The Famous Grouse" and had several shots of that. Not sure I like it, but it's a bit cheaper than the stuff I usually buy. Probably won't buy it again.

then AH Hirsch bourbon with an Illusione MJ12, followed by

 

[Timber Wolf]

Had a smuttynose variety pack with friends.

My wife made some fantastic Sidecars. I had one after a finger of Laproaig 10. I also snuck a small shot of Courvoisier when the wife wasn't looking. I guess the key to a proper Sidecar is a proper cognac!
