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.

I have a few of those in my fridge since I bought a 12 pack of their mixed variety pack. Also the Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout, Raging Bitch IPA and Snake Dog IPA.

Last night I had a glass of this port on my deck with a PG Belicoso Cigar

Last night had Sauvignon Blanc wine with dinner.

Iced Tea...

Since I consider you an alcohol snob, this is a pretty crazy statement! Is it really true?

Having a cup of HOT Darjeeling tea right now. Delicious.

It may be HOT outside but my central AC is chilling my house quite nicely.

Oh, my Rum snobbery isn't good enough?

:harumph::harumph::harumph::harumph::harumph::harumph::harumph::harumph:

ROFL

I don't take you for highbrow everything. I've seen your other posts. LMAO

Well, I'm a selective snob...

It's the only way to be. :thumb:

But yes, with two confirmed counts of Costco liquor, I will purchase next time I am there.

Pics (when you do it) or GTFO!

I would avoid the bourbon. High proof lighter fluid.

IMO all bourbon is, so I'll take your work for it and never buy their bourbon (either).

Going to be pool time in a few hours. Not sure on what drink I'll make. I'll let any of you decide.

Paloma
Margarita
Montana Mule
Dirty Lemonade
Michelada

Please note that I will be outside and using plastic cups so nothing breaks if I drop it. Penguinz will obviously not vote for Montana Mule if I can't use copper then.

Do you drive a Subaru as well?

I do not and have not.

It's hot here brah! I need something refreshing outside when it's 105 degrees!

Go with the almost mules then.

Thanks!

Post golf-game "water".... I'm sure there's some water in there somewhere...

What's this water drink you speak of?

Been doing Woodford Reserve tonight.

Rum, it's made with water, no?

Here in Cali water isn't used a lot so I got confused.

There is that... "Go East, Young Man, Go East"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grabbed it because I will drink pretty much any Boulevard product I can get out here. Head retention was practically nil. Very fizzy. I'm wondering if it hadn't sat on the shelf too long. (Although it was in a walk in when I bought it for what that's worth. And it's not skunky at all)

Good tasting Pilsner. Not exceptional, but very good.

I had two glasses with desert.

Why is the girl on the right so sad?

Bib & Tucker. Yum

2008 Cantillon Classic Gueuze

But don't stop in AZ...

Reaper, did you see any 3F Framboos come your way this year?

None at all in Philly. I don't think even Monk's Cafe got any bottles, and I can go there and get a Fou Foune right now (albeit for $60).

Wow. Missouri was swimming in it this year. Multiple cases were in KC. Shelton Brothers, Missouri did good!

These northerners love to drink.

I've grown to love Old Fashioneds and Kessler/Coke/7Up.

Because she looks like a tranny?

Kessler's and diet Sierra Mist.

Buddy of mine who visited from Ks brought me up a 20 pk of Boulevard Wheat. Fk yeah!

I was able to drink a New Glarus Spotted Cow at Miller Park on Monday. Not bad at all.

Pretty good brew.

Next time you're up try Two Women (the beer LMAO) and Totally Naked.

Noted.

I also had a Milwaukee Brew Co Hop Happy, which was a'ight for a ballpark brew.

Knob Creek tonight.

shudder...you're a better man than I...

Smirnoff for me tonight. It's a bit too humid for Bourbon

Never a bad day for bourbon.

The evenings have to drop below 70 degrees for me to enjoy a good bourbon. More power to you. Love me some bourbon.

Been drinking water all day (walking 18 today really forced my hand there!), but now I'm going to reward myself with some of God's nectar....

Kraken it is!

You may want to consider some Rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Very "summery". :)

A tip of the cap to you Sir, I just can't drink it.

Even this is too warm, for me, for bourbon...

http://www.krug.com.by/images/photo-...edition-22.jpg

Ive never tried Rye's...I started to get really serious about scotches this last fall/winter.

You have a few brands I should try?

Bulleit Rye is very good for the price. It will run you around $30 for a 750 ml. Rittenhouse Rye is also a very nice starter Rye and will run you around $25. It's bottled in bond, putting its ABV at exactly 50%, whereas Bulleit is around 45-47% ABV.

I like bourbon a lot but it's a very sweet spirit and I have found that Rye whiskey really hits the spot as its spicy nature makes it much easier to drink than bourbon, especially when drinking neat.

I know of Bulliet...I shall have to try that. I've 'graduated' to drinking my bourbon/scotch neat, so that's good to know. I have found that they run me really hot, so that's why I avoid them in the summer. But, I'll give the rye a shot.

Cherry limeaid...with a splash of absolut.

errr..ummm...you got that backwards. Absolut and a splash of cherry limeade...

Heh. I think you're right. I need to stiffen the mixture.

Have some people I know in Montana who are selling what looks to be some great mix! It's a "hangover tonic" and Caesar Mix. Looks great to mix in many different drinks and also use this for cooking. I will probably order some soon!

Everclear and deer blood

on the rocks.

Water... But that's about to change.... Then it's a fresh bottle of Kraken that shall be dented...

I have not had a drop of Rum since freshman year of college, May of 2005.

You always mention this and I want to try it but might need to assess my tolerance mixed with something to start. Any suggestions?

Splash of coke would work for me.

Have two it at a bar at lunch. The first should be on the rocks, and the second in Coke or Diet Coke. I like it either way, but Kraken can be sipped unlike many Rums.

I won't expand on my night but it's been a decade and I can still can't shake the smell and taste of that rum. I remember it like it was yesterday. On the rocks would not be a good starting point.

Canadian Mist for me, if I smelled it I would :Lin:

Tequila for me. Float trip in Cali, many bottles of it, and I puked like I was 18 all over again.

Still hate the stuff.

A few Boulevard zon's and one new Belgium Skinny dip. Good stuff.

**** yea, Canadian Mist. ROFL

That would suck. Tequila is my favorite for a variety of drinks.

Picked up these beauties for $14.99 each today. Thanks for having a birthday America!
