The Booze Thread

that's the Dan Akroyd stuff right?

[paco]

Yeah, thats the one.

While the bottle is pretty cool looking, it was kind of awkward breaking it out at my buddy's house.  He just had a kid last tuesday and flew in his wife's mother and sister.  Nothing says "welcome to this world, child" like drinking booze out of a skull.

i've tried that before simply because of the bottle and its totally meh.

also, those bottles have been popping up in several of my local bars in the last few months, i asked the bartender to crack one open for me the other day, and he said he had orders that he couldn't until dan ackroyd comes around. i guess it's some kind of marketing thing where he actually comes to each bar for some kind of opening ceremony or something. seems pretty douchy but i guess it's a good marketing ploy for anyone over 40 who still remembers who dan ackroyd is.

what are those weird circular square candies...they seem like a skittles/jelly bean hybrid and i would like to try them.

Ended up trying Matty's vodka experiment.  We always freeze our pineapple cores for cooking, ended up throwing them in a mason jar along with some strawberries.  Curious to see what it turns out like.

i tried them after like two weeks and they were good, then i made two more batches and kept them sealed for an entire month...they were pretty amazing. had a little party one night and everyone loved it.

what vodka experiment?

[Seabiscuit36]

Nice, its been 2 weeks and its pretty decent.  I'll keep it sealed for a month and see if the pineapple permeates thru.  I figured the strawberry would just give a hint of the flavor.

I still need to do the swedish fish vodka thing...

[Susquehanna Birder]

I tried it with gummi bears, and it didn't work out so well. Apparently I didn't get the right kind of bears, and I ended up with a snotty soup of nonsense that was neither good as a gummi nor as a drink additive.

[PhillyPhreak54]

How long did you leave them soak?

I wonder if I should poke little holes in the fish to help absorb the liquor?

[General_Failure]

No, dummy. You put them on fish hooks and leave them hang in the jar.
