lol

cannot recommend enough to try:

rum and soda with lime (ask for two at a bar, cut a quarter for yourself at home).

try cockspur, mt. gay, flor de cana.

report your findings, please.

(by soda she means club soda)

drinking rum with soda water strips away external flavors and leaves you with the four basic elements. the ice matters, but the amount is mostly personal preference. the soda water has to be fizzing, not flat. the lime is an overlooked element. gotta be juicy. good rum makes such a difference with this drink, since it has to stand so tall.

i always said shot glasses were for pussies but i've changed my tune. the shot glass has allowed me to get scientific

(okay upon a re-read the first part of that is totally obvious but maybe i had to write it out to realize it? of fucking course a lime has to be juicy. of course you don't want flat soda water. i guess this is what i think through as i make them so yeah)

i will try this next time.

i forgot i ordered a shot of some other kind a few weeks ago that was good and i don't remember what it was -_-

"i always said shot glasses were for pussies but i've changed my tune. the shot glass has allowed me to get scientific"

now you're a scientific pussy

ive had 3 dark and stormies so far today

goslings?

awesome

in the house: goslings black and club soda

XD

i like it

with lime?

no lime or ice

hardman style

balls out

no pants

i didn't have ice made and forgot to buy limes. its ok though, its pretty smooth

i hate filling ice trays.

since jergins is gone for a few days guaranteed i will be buying a bag of ice.

wait till you run out of soda but you've drunk enough that you think tap water will be just as good. at that point you will be right.

or you don't have lime so you use lemon. instead of calling it a rum rickey, you should please call it a rum lxy.

because i invented it.

i hate filling ice trays.

lol

the soda is already flat >_<

xp if those two think they're hiding their cigarettes from the camera, they are mistaken

i haven't been there. why did do they call the dead dog their "son"??

rate these liquor store prices
pyrat $32
10 cane $37
barbancourt i don't remember, they had 4 and 8yr

also sailor jerry's - shit or the shit?

why did do why did do

woody's might be cool in a cheesy way

http://www.fellspointbar.com/_images//happyhour.gif

those prices seem on par to our liquor stores.

maybe estela can give us some perspective on the dog question. certainly no one in this house can. also, isn't woody a weird name for a dog?

that said, i would go to woody's, yeah, totally.

sailor jerry's is SHIT for SURE. do not buy!

ha there was jug of sailor jerrys for cheap which was a red flag imo. also the label looks stupid. also that name.

Woody,our wonderful friend and son was laid to rest on December 23rd 2005.

srsly thought this was a person at first. RIP

maybe in his last moments woody fixed his wise sad brown eyes on them and made them promise they would always call him their son and they said alright.

i had another meyers's dark and stormy last night, this is fast becoming a fave drink, i wish more bars had ginger beer

haha link http://www.refinedvices.com

ok i can just keep drinking this ain't no stoppin us now

i liked last night's grand harbor or old english or whatever it was. i mean it was not el dorado 15, but that's not really a fair comparison.

english harbour, that's what it is.
