My personal favorite is vegas bomb cocktail. The aura its create is unmatchable. Whenever i go out with my friends or we celebrate anything then we always go with drink.
I remember those day when we drinks collect money to purchase it.
I have many memories attached with this drink since my school days.
And its still our favorite.
 
Peach Pummeler

Peaches in heavy syrup
Peach Schnappes
White rum
Vodka
Shot of dark rum

Perfect around the pool. They climb up on you quickly though.

Yeah, they would . . . that's ALL booze :D

Hot summer evening, pool, swimsuits, I can think of worse things. Especially here in February with a foot of snow forecast to drop tonight.
 
Got called off the bench last minute to cook dinner, so I went lazy. Clyde Mays Alabama Style Whiskey is the current drink of choice.

I picked up St.Germain almost 2 years ago to make something and I can't for the life of me remember what. I know it's used in making some drinks with clear liquors (gin, vodka, rum) and inknow there is a drink you make with white wine/champagne, soda water and St. G but I don't remember what it's called. I'm thinking I might have grabbed it to make a drink called the Lavender Fields of Kentucky (with bourbon) but maybe not.
I know this is an old post and hope you are well. Had the Clyde Mays at my brother-in-laws and it was very good. My current go to is Col. E. H. Taylor, Small Batch, Bottled in Bond.
 
Picked up some 100 proof Early Times bottled-in-bond today. Gonna make a Manhattan tonight. Or two. I worked hard today 🥃

I wish that was so readily available to me to make it my go to. I had a stash but I'm down to 2, so now I break that out for special occasions. Great bourbon.

I enjoyed a pour yesterday evening. Got about 1/3 bottle left then it's crying time. Have you tried Willet's Noah's Mill? I enjoy that very much, a little stouter than the Taylor but very smooth. Do you enjoy Ryes?

Yes and yes. I'm always looking for market inefficiencies. Last year was Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. This year its been Old Forester 100. They make a bunch of Specialty bourbons and I think its as good as any and has the best price.
 
I don't know how to cook at all, but cocktails are my passion. Of course, I rarely remember making them, so I use recipes, video tips, and apps. For example, I recently made a cool alcoholic drink with the taste of pina colada, and last month I even managed to make a banana wine - IT WAS SOMETHING DELICIOUS. I used to find cocktail recipes on YouTube, but I really liked the author's blogs/sites that display wonderful photos/video guides not so long ago. Of my favorites, I can name https://www.lolacovington.com/top-10-most-popular-cocktails/. I write down her recipes in my notebook and then surprise my friends at parties with them.

How is it different?

"HENDRICK’S LUNAR is a delightfully smooth and alluring gin that is rich with night-blooming floral essence, offering a delicate balance of warm baked spices, and finished with a crisp burst of citrus. LUNAR is best enjoyed during casual nights at home and is a curious companion for sundowners and starry nights with friends."

I haven't had it myself.
