LETSGOBROWNIES Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Had some Great Lakes Christmas Ale and 12 Dogs this weekend. ’Tis the season and I’m digging it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugboat Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Just now, Malfatron said: rocks make it cold Is that bad? The ice just melts into that "splash of water" effect. But it's tempered as you drink. That's my preferred scotch preparation. One or two "rocks" depending on the size. Bourbon just gets ruined with ice.

I won’t go that far 😂 but it definitely makes me nostalgic as all hell every time I drink it. It’s “the holidays” in a glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who created Xmas Ale left and went to Thirsty Dog apparently and he’s the guy who created 12 Dogs, or so I’m told. I honestly might prefer 12 Dogs, it’s that good.

Ty21 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I think I might do a basic eggnog cocktail for my family Christmas party but don’t know if I should use bourbon or rum. Hmm. Also thinking of doing a chocolate peppermint martini for it or for my work or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. Also thinking of doing a chocolate peppermint martini for it or for my work or something. Look up the Jerry Thomas recipe for Eggnog, and follow that. It's a lot of yolks, a lot of sugar, and then you froth the whites, and lightly fold them in. You could use a Cognac or Brandy for the booze too. You could always just make a Grasshopper at work, or a variation on it. It's creme de menthe, creme de cacao, and heavy cream. If you want to have fun with a winter drink at work, start doing a Tom and Jerry. It's made almost like an eggnog, but tastes like a liquid sugar cookie. It's traditionally only served when the temp gets to 20 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thoughts on mulled wines? I can't decide if I like them or if it's just because they're warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
