Port

[Moomin]

Port , Blue Stilton at room temp and some Carrs water biscuits. Heaven.

I was banging that drum for our new stadium for over 7 years

 

[Blue 1]

Bit of cambozola and some nice crackers with a decent Port...

Ooh ya basta...

 

[Nymzee]

Absinthe! Oh my golly gosh.

Used to be fun, would run a mile these days.

There was a nightclub in Prague I frequented back in the day and one of the levels sold you a shot of absinthe and one singular fag for a euro

I was given 4 bottles for Christmas once.

I was fuming.

Gave one to my dad and kept the brandy I’d bought him instead.

Used to buy bottles if it online back in the late 90s and have 'absinthe nights'.

Very silly. Even sillier when mixed with mushrooms.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Not a fan, tried it a few times for reference during my scotch-swizzling days but, having said that, I doubt what I ever tried was considered great quality as scotch was already dominating my available imbibing budget.

Are you allowed to make your own? Half a glass of red then a measure or so of Brandy? Imagine the scope for finding the perfect blend...

BBQ sauce and Kerosene

Well, at least that was my impression.

When my sloe gin is ready, I'll be decanting it, and then adding a bottle of port to the sloe berries. It's supposed to be lovely after a few months.

know a few foodies that've been making their own gin for about ten years, parma violets, skittles, star burst, various chilli types. the sweet ones were all so so, but the scotch bonnet sloe gin was bottled madness. In retrospect a straight shot probably wasn't very clever.

Mince pie vodka is the one.

Mince pie vodka is the one.

Now you're making me think of marinating the Christmas pudding with various bespoke spirits. Now raspberry infused sherry for trifle.

I'll be bottling my blackberry vodka at the weekend, it was delicious a month ago so looking forward to it. I'll be putting a bottle of brandy in with the blackberries, as with the sloes.
