Whatcha drinking (2025)?

DH requested a "sip from one of your nice lemon martinis" :laugh:
I had just watched this video and had a thought ...
To my usual recipe for a Skinny Lemon Drop, I added about 1 ounce of filtered (reverse osmosis) water + 6 fresh ice cubes (as Chef John suggests) and gave it all a good shake (I'm a simple gal, I use a good `ole Mason jar as my shaker :wink:)
I let DH have the first sip, and it was a big one.
He held it for a moment swallowed and pronounced, "that's my favorite cocktail!"
That's all ya get bud-o!!
I gave it a taste and WOW!
That little bit of water really opened up the flavor!!!

What is that Black XPA? I find it really intriguing. My next choice would be the Northern Red.

I can go and photo the back of all of them if you would like to confirm they are all Australian! The fridge is really cool compared to the outside worlkd today - hit +30C again
 
I believe you when you say they are all Aussie beers - that's the tease part :) Not to mention the weather there - not fair again :D
 
Okay, to be honest I'm not a whiskey drinker but my dad did like the occassion Jonny Walker Black so I had one or to every now and then - I'm a rum drinker - comes from the Pirate blood line I think :D
