I thought we had moved past the cheap shit in naval aviation. I, apparently, was mistaken
@Max the Mad Russian I noticed that too when traveling in Europe. Young Scots are now drinking American bourbon, not Scotch.
Do me a favor, next time you’re in Moscow or Sevastopol or Kaliningrad (where do you live again?) and at a decent bar, see if they can make you an Old Fashion.
2 parts bourbon
1 slice of orange, crushed or squeezed into the glass
2 cherries
1-3 dashes of Angostura bitters
ice
I’m not too confident in their ability to make a mint julep.
You aren’t too confident in their ability to muddle mint, sugar, and water then pour in bourbon and ice? It’s one of the simplest cocktails around.@Max the Mad Russian I noticed that too when traveling in Europe. Young Scots are now drinking American bourbon, not Scotch.

Srsly. Say what you will about them, but it's not like he's living in BFE, they're a spacefaring nation. And they probably invented drinking!You aren’t too confident in their ability to muddle mint, sugar, and water then pour in bourbon and ice? It’s one of the simplest cocktails around.

No no no, an old fashioned should never have fruit muddled in with the bourbon. It just makes it taste like a bourbony fruit punch. The only ingredients should be:
Bourbon
Simple syrup
Bitters
Garnish with a cherry or orange peel
Maybe it’s time we start an AW drinking thread. ?
Cherries in a drink are fucking gross.
This is my old fashioned:
One cube of sugar (crushed).
Splash of water.
Two dashes of angostura bitters. Orange bitters will do in a pinch, but I think they make the drink too sweet and fruity.
Wip your orange peel around the rim of the glass and then garnish with it afterwards.
One big ass ice cube.
Rye.
Stir lightly. Sit back in smug satisfaction while basking in your toxic masculinity.
Page after page of people bitching about HSC ultimately devolves into how to best get drunk.
Makes sense to me!
You people and froo-froo drinks with fruit in them.
Here's my drink recipe:
Liquor (glass and ice optional)
or...
Beer
