Stout and ginger beer.

A bottle of Crabbies ginger beer mixed with a bottle of Jamaican Dragon stout (7.5 percent!), I don't think tonight, or the start of tomorrow, is going to end/start well. 🙂

We missed out on cocktails at Shiny Town due to a delay with MrsBouy, so we sauntered past all the closed Pubs and Bars (@4pm) and made our way home.

So to make up for that slight disappointment we've so far tipped a glass of Champers, had a very small Gin & Tonic and now sipping a winter cocktail which originates from Bravaria.. (Contains sourkirsch and Gin amongst other things)

Have fun folks, be nice to all, be blessed.

New Zealand Merlot with dinner. (Swedish style pork loin roast, red cabbage, honey fan roast spuds and maple roast carrots and parsnips). Rest of the bottle to finish now the desserts (cold rice pud and hot cherry sauce, apple crumble with a stollen topping or ice cream and mars bar sauce) are done with. We are having a continental Christmas due to no.1 daughter working tomorrow. Whiskey to follow once the wine is done.

Nice bottle of Cab Shiraz.

Actually, bottle number two - having dropped and smashed the first one. There was much swearing. 👿

On the plus side, my stepson is now hugely impressed and slightly awed at my extensive vocabulary :mrgreen:

IIRC Ben Bracken is a branded Whisky that went bust and had the stock sold cheap.

not suprised with a name like that-- but in general its true that a major part of a cost is advertising--

a new thread is needed for imaginary brands.....

Was drinking pints of Landlord in my local before but stopped now as gonna go for a run first thing tomorrow.

After declaring I wasn't gonna drink all Christmas this year, tomorrow will be the fifth day of boozing in a row. No wonder I had sleep paralysis this morning. Got another two days boozing scheduled as well, so may as well make it up to the full 7 I suppose 🙄

Really should get my kids to leave a nip out for Santa.

Bought some sherry from waitrose in a daze yesterday, didn't so much as read the label, or price! Selected on the basis that it looked posh, was the last bottle on the shelf, and I couldn't be arsed to dive into the scrum in the booze aisle.

Turned out to be absolutely lovely, bollocks to the price! Tasted fantastic with stichleton cheese.
