Was this poor lost soul on the devils fire water?
I am against drinking too, but you don't see me telling everyone that enjoys the occasional alcoholic beverage here that they are sinning and going to hell to burn for eternity. Seriously, we get it, you don't like those that drink. Now that you have more than made your point, exit the thread with what is left of your dignity, old chap.
Haha. Brilliant. Fair play to the guy and I'd much rather be a 'lost soul' with a few pints of 'the devils firewater' inside me and carousing with women than a sanctimonious tosser.
=)) Fantastic. Cheers for this.
I thought you had a recipe up when i posted, you should post it again. for good measure...
No can do. It was a long post and I'm not typing it out again. I was editing the double and triple post when the first one disappeared. Maybe a mod can bring it back. If not, I'll post it again when I make the drink.
At least give an idea what the drink was. I know you're bloody good with those cocktails.....
I'll drink to that :)
Can't wait! As soon as i've got my own house (the 27th!) I'll start my own collection of mixable drinks, so it's more then welcome!
The following is copied from Esquire online:
SIDECAR
Ingredients
3/4 ounce Cointreau
3/4 ounce lemon juice
1 1/2 ounces cognac
Glass Type: cocktail glass
Instructions
Shake well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass that has had its outside rim rubbed with lemon juice and dipped in sugar.
commentary in Esquire by The Wondrich Take: (I wanted to copy the picture but I couldn't) Oh, I did make one change to their write up, as you can find below ...
The Sidecar is often singled out as the only good cocktail to come out of the long national nightmare that was Prohibition. And when you're sipping one, you almost think it was all worth it. The luminous, golden-straw color, the perfectly controlled sweetness, the jazzy high notes of the citrus against the steady bass of the brandy. This is a drink whose suavité is beyond question -- it's the Warren Beatty Sean Connery/Roger Moore of modern mixology.
It's so easy, in fact, to be seduced by this clever old roué that a word of caution would not be out of place here. These gents have a way of stealing up on you and -- bimmo! Next thing you know it's 8:43 on Monday morning and you're sitting in the backseat of a taxi idling in front of your place of employ. In your skivvies.

@Disco should've known you'd keep an eye on a drinks thread! All we need back here now are @St. George and @Doubleohnothing to fill up our virtual bar!
Any one else partial to this alcoholic ginger beer? Makes a nice change from normal beer and cider and slides down a treat on a hot evening.
Can't really see Bond drinking it mind.
My condolences old chap. You'll have to make do with Canada Dry I guess.
Thank you. It's such a shame.
@4EverBonded, every time I hear that name, I think of 'Knight & Day,' when an assassin in the film orders it.
I haven't had one since I was a teenager, actually.
Remembering now even one of my good guy friends used to call me, "Harvey" because of that! Ha. He probably called me "Wallbanger" secretly - but anyway to my face, he would call me, "Harvey."
IS TOXIC ! KILLS YOUR BRAIN CELLS ! DONT' WANT THAT !!
Alcohol is healthy.
It is necessary to cull and strengthen the herd. It kills the weaker brain cells, increasing the abilities of the stronger ones to do a better job. That's why after recovering from a big night out, one feels and thinks amazingly well.
The liver filters many things and is definitely needed even by those who don't ingest alcohol.
Eh. I've been drinking since my early teens, and it hasn't done me any real harm.
Yeah, but look at what it's done to him!
IFM mate, IFM. We already have ample proof above that you needn't drink to be severely lacking in brain cells.
That explains a lot. You must have been bottle fed wine as a baby
