--What should I drink in Vegas (still waiting )

Not having been to Vegas recently, and never having been to a club there, I really don't know which bars I'd trust to make my favorite drinks. Some of them, I'd still be prolly have to tell the bartender the recipe. However, here are a few things you can count on:

Manhattan. A true classic cocktail you should be able to get anywhere. Make sure they don't give it to you on the rocks, however.

I think I heard the Wynn poker room serves Fat Tire, a really great beer. If you play there, pick it up. You might also check out what other sorts of beer they have.

I think there's also a microbrew in one of the casinos, but I don't remember which. I'd definitely want to hit that up and try their offerings.

If you want to give gin another shot, get yourself a gin gimlet. It's gin and sweet lime juice, and is another simple classic that any bar will be able to make.

Another good one to try is a Gin Buck, which is gin, lime juice, and ginger ale. Really, though, you're probably better ordering it as "Gin and ginger ale with a lime squeeze, please." If you don't like gin, you could get a drink called a Horse's Neck, which is whiskey, ginger ale, a twist of lemon, and sometimes a dash of bitters.

--Can you give me 3 more drinks with which to use Irish Whiskey? I tried 1.5 oz + 2.5 oz sour mix & soda, and it was OK.

Irish Rose: 2 oz Irish Whiskey, 0.5 oz lemon juice, 0.25 oz grenadine. Shake vigorously with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, garnish with a lemon squeeze.

Michael Collins (Tom Collins's brother): Take 2 oz Irish whiskey, 1 tsp superfine sugar, and 1 oz lemon juice, shake them with ice and strain them into a Collins glass (tall, narrow cylinder) with ice. Top with 2 oz soda water. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and either an orange wedge or a lime wedge.

Homemade Irish cream: Put all of the following into a blender

* 14 oz sweetened Condensed milk
* 1-3/4 cup Irish whiskey
* 4 Egg
* 1 cup Cream
* 2 tblsp Chocolate syrup
* 1 tblsp instant Coffee (powder)
* 1 tsp Vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp Almond flavoring / extract

Blend until smooth. Let it sit in your fridge for a day, and then serve. Sometimes I rinse out the can of condensed milk with a little more whiskey, making sure I get all the milk, and making it stronger. This drink is very, very bad for you, but it is extremely tasty.

--What is your real motive at starting this thread?

Not sure. See what happens? Because it was cool in SSNL? Certainly not to set off drama bombs with Evan [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

--What would it take to get the Microposter session back?

Forum interest.

--Have you seen Porky's?

Haaawooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
