Dissentio Imbibendum

[Clinamenic]

This is what I'm having.

German White Wine?

I like it, but it's not on trend

Opinions?

Don't believe I've tried any, nor do I have much of a taste for wine. Yet.

 

[william_kent]

In the UK it's considered 'passe'

 

[william_kent]

german white, I mean

sneered at, like an avocado coloured bathroom

Gentlemen, we've just added a new drink to the menu, name pending, for the daring amongst ye:

-1 part gin
-3 parts sparking water
-1 splash pomegranate molasses
-1 splash blackberry balsamic vinegar

edit: recipe revision

Think I'll take you up on that one, Stan.

3/4 of that concoction is alien to us brits in the Northern wastelands

 

[constant escape]

What fate! Have I here in my barroom none other than a pomegranate-flavored sparking water? Indeed!

Luckily I live around the corner from an eastern-european grocery store with an abundance of molasses variants.

Opinions?

German riesling is pretty common, no?

yeah, but wine snobs will look down, from what I gather, but it's one i like - thinking about it, seems I only like white German wines...

 

[catalog]

bukowski was a big fan of the german rieslings

 

[Murphy]

Dr Loosen = yes. Eiswein = not even gewurztraminer spun as candy floss (and I don’t even drink)

After 36hours on the piss = anything for those in said hole

gin and tap water i remember as surprisingly good. a quarter bottle of vodka and a can of monster energy drink is the best cocktail ive ever invented though

 

[luka]

thats gets you revved up and overexicted like a a toddler on fizzy pop and smarties

 

[Clinamenic]

A new concoction, one I have tasted and can vouch for, even in lieu of a name:

2 oz RE:FIND Kumquat vodka
1/5 oz date molasses
3 generous dashes rhubarb bitters

Devised it halfway through rewatching Casablanca, quite a good cocktail film as it happens.

 

[Clinamenic]

In trying to place the geographic origins of the flavors, something sino-indian collectively, I am at a loss for a name. I was considering deriving it from the film, set in Morocco, but I'm not sure how fitting that would be.

I vaguely associate dates with northern africa and the levant, but kumquats and rhubarb, upon cursory investigation, don't seem placeable as such.

 

[Clinamenic]

Perhaps trading routes from Asia that move through Morroco may be a basis for the name? Any such history?

 

[luka]

they existed from the dawn of time but no idea if they ever had a special name

 

[Clinamenic]

Might just make up a name inspired by Casablanca in the meantime.
