I am due a watch of Big Lebowski, what with all the white russians that have been consumed this week. Ah yeah, saw some Kahlua in Waitrose the other day and thought fuck paying that price. Totally forgot to look for it elsewhere on my actual pleb style shopping trips.

To be fair, you don't need much per drink so it goes a long way.

In fairness I didn't even look at the price. We just skimmed through the the drink section and I laughed at the price of Woodford reserve then moved on swiftly (£33ish)
Looking online the Kahlua is actually a pretty reasonable price, so I should've just grabbed it then.

That’s a decent price for Woodford too

I paid £20 for a bottle in December, so anything else seems shit. Got another one for £25 which felt steep at the time.

Had a negroni last night & then an ipa.
First booze-based drinks for a few weeks.
Made a nice change.

I should have stocked up. In fact, it was frequently available for £25 on Amazon all year round until recently, as were many bourbons... Recently, prices seem to have climbed. It's frustrating being a bourbon drinker. I like the vanilla sweetness of bourbon compared to scotch. Very few bars have any selection beyond JD, and even if they do, the staff look at you funny when you order a Maker's Mark or Wild Turkey.

I got given a really nice bottle of small batch gin as a leaving gift, so sitting in the garden with that and some tonic, lil slice of greenhouse grown lemon.
Quite genteel, I do declare.

7yo split her lip and lost a tooth at a birthday party, 5 hours of hospital later and they’ve decided that it’s too late for stitches as luckily it’s scabbed over nicely enough. Just poured a brandy

Just finished work when I expected to be done and dusted by 6 at the latest. Anything that could've gone wrong bloody well went wrong. Had a bulleit when things were finally sorted. (it's growing on me)
Nice ice cold bottle of Staropramen now.

A cheeky white claw while working in the sun. Bumped into buddy, went for a beer. Lady came to meet us; margarita.
Then mojito.
Now home and outta white claw.
Rug oh raggy

Never heard of white claw before, but that sounds very refreshing.

It’s a hard seltzer. Comes in many flavors
It’s the most popular brand of that current drink fad
Absolutely fucking rank on its own. Tastes like spit that’s been used to rinse out an ashtray
Put black cherry flavor in a Yeti style cup over a hefty amount of ice then full rest of the way up with cranberry juice and it tastes so good you don’t feel the slightest guilt having one before noon

Firing into a homemade negroni as a wee aperitivo.
Living the dream. 😀

As mentioned up the thread, get the cans of Moretti. They are still imported and taste much better. And then they came for the cans. Motherfuckers

Haha, yep. Noticed a four pack of Moretti cans earlier and thought I'd give them a try. Picked them up noticed the dreaded "Heineken" on the back... Goddamnit!
Currently a glass of Buffalo Reserve, which I'm quite enjoying. Definitely prefer it to Bulleit, but not quite as nice as Woodford. Then a couple of bottles of Menabrea that escaped the mark of doom.

I am going to have to scrutinise every pack. And then find another lager.

Sidecar earlier, onto a glass of cremant. Might turn the next one into a champagne cocktail

Motherfuckers I got a 6 pack of cans from Asda the other day and they look to be the proper Italian import stuff. Mostly Italian writing on the cans and no mention of Heineken. Maybe I should stock up.

Sainsbury's is usually pretty good too. Tesco have been fine until now. It's amazing how much difference there is.

Angel’s Envy bourbon, absolutely beautiful! If you like like a Woodford reserve then this will suit you sir.

After my disappointing Moretti, I had a gin (King of Soho) and 3/4 of a bottle of red. A nice Malbec. Would recommend.
