Whatcha drinking (2025)?

We can get them here nowadays, but there was a time when we couldn’t, so anytime we went to Kentucky, Mom & Dad would let me have one.

Back on topic, that drink has eggnog, dark rum, kahlua, vanilla, coffee, and nutmeg in it. MrsT has announced it’s her new favorite drink.

I'll have to find the Kahlua I made last year. I make a quart every year and put it in a good place to mellow.

I made an Italian-inspired Lemon Drop this evening and DH took a BIG sip of just the Limoncello and just about DIED!
"WHOA! That's strong!"
Doofus, I told him to take a very tiny sip, not a chug!!!
THIS ☝️ was so far THE best Lemon Drop I've made yet!
I don't care for the sugared rim so much, it makes for a sticky stem on the glass.
This was very lemon forward, which I really like.
No sweetener, so not to sugary, the Limoncello has enough sugar in it to carry the cocktail.

I think I'll be trying my hand again at homemade Limoncello.
I had made a batch with Everclear and Meyer Lemons back years ago, took it to my Mother's as a gift when she still lived in California, my younger sister and her dead-beat husband showed up and drank it all, THREE 18oz. bottles with the swing-top stopper... ALL OF IT!! In one night ...
Neither Mom nor I got a whiff of the stuff, damn it all!!!

It says on the label keep away from open flame. I used to do shots of that. AND I smoked at the time. Life on the edge. LOL
A place I went had a cocktail (can't remember the name) with an Everclear float. They would light it when they put it in front of you.

We used to take shots of it too. 🤢
Now I use it to make turmeric tinctures, pastes, and extracts.
