Costco Rum? Did you get a jumbo sized Pino Colada mix and a Vitamix all in one trip?

Dude, I just went to Costco for first time ever. They have Kirkland brand Reposado tequila and even Anejo tequila! Couldn't believe it. I might have to try some since it's so reasonable. Had no idea Kirkland made liquor.

Lil helper to start, now I'm drinking a Moscow mule

After watching the deal about their "Alcohol" department (evidently they're one of the most ass-kissed reseller n the planet and get the red-carpet treatment like none-other around the globe when they go shopping!!), I decided to give their $15 bottle a try. Not the best stuff ever, but it's as good as most other spiced rums. No, it's NOT Kraken, but nothing is. But it can hold it's own with the likes of the Captain and Sailor Jerry...

I got the Vitamix months ago... As for the PC mix, nope, Diet Coke and a bag of limes... That's the way this Sailor Rolls.

Wow, did not know that. I'll support them then!

I sense a touch of coconut in the Kirkland rum, but nothing like you see in coconut rums, so it's unique, but I like it.

Then again, at $15, I'm sure my wallet was helping my taste buds!

Started off with a New Glarus Moon Man.

Delicious.

I have a bottle of the Kirkland silver and it is almost spot on to patron.

Kirkland Signature Vodka = Grey Goose

Kirkland Light Beer = Natural Light


Yes....I love Natty Light too. Sometimes you have to go back from where you can from.

Enjoying a rather large Manhattan tonite. If you're only having one drink, make it a big drink. You young fellows remember that.

Flying Dog easy IPA........awesome

What kind of sweet vermouth do you use? Once I went the way of old fashioneds, it's hard to go back to Manhattans.

Just did an old fashioned with Weller 12 and some orange bitters; those things are easy like Sunday morning.

This is a "no name" sweet vermouth - Tribuno, which may well be a Gallo brand. I buy the smallest bottle I can find (then buy 2) I find sweet vermouth often goes flat on me before I use it up if I buy a 750 of it. I don't use much, but I usually do add a couple of different types of bitters - tonite was Peychauds and Angostura. And let's keep that Weller 12 to ourselves. They're putting too much good bourbon in fancy bottles and doubling the price - Weller 12 may be hard to keep under our hat.
