@xenon Not when I go to sleep, that's weird, man.

But in the morning, hell yes.

I´ve been hooked on margaritas lately. With freshly squeezed lemon or lime and mandarin juice. So, it´s pretty healthy!

[brenda]

@Optimistic Absolutely! Vitamin C, FTW!

Oh, you are so well behaved.

I have the same reaction to sangria.

[Axtremus]

Tangerine orange juice with moonshine cherries.

[Axtremus]

Sake, warm, with wasabi flavored green peas and roasted pistachio.

Gin and tonic is one of my favourite things in the world, to the point where I don't buy gin.

Tomorrow, I'm buying gin.

What brands do you like best?

[Doctor Phibes]

Standard stuff - Bombay Sapphire and Tangeray

[Axtremus]

White zinfandel.
I meant to pick up pink moscato, but picked up the neighboring bottle of white zinfandel that's same color. Oh well.

I like the Tanqueray, too. I have no idea how to spell it, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying it. Hendricks is okay, but too expensive given that I don't think it's great.

Another I like is Prairie Organic gin. It's a Phillips product made from Minnesoooooota organic corn.
It's nice in a G&T. It's also quite affordable, which is rather scary.

Long shot, one part tawny port, one part Jägermeister.

[Axtremus]

Cranberry juice blend with a shot of Jägermeister.
Surprisingly good combo, tangy with a spicy kick.

I'm getting my first shipment today.

I finally had two bottles empty that needed to be shipped out. I put them in the (supplied) box, attached the pre-printed label, and took it to the post office on Monday.

Two refilled bottles arrived via FedEx today. Total cost is, indeed, higher than going to Target, Best Buy or Kohls. (about $6 a bottle more, including shipping). But the hassle factor was zero, and service was fast. Considering I don't need to drive anywhere, stand in line, waiting, only to be told that they're out of stock, it's worth it.

Convenience is pretty cheap these days. I love it.

I had a couple light pale ales Sunday. Other than that I've been dry. My current favorite beer is from my favorite brewery, Deschutes. It's their light hazy pale ale. 4% alcohol, 100 calories, 4g carbs, full flavor. Delicious. Pretty good deal considering my other favorite is their Fresh Squeezed IPA at 192 calories.
