Estrella Damm, or at least I was until I had to go into the office.

Officially lager of the gods...

Anything I can get my hands on.

I've been watching rugby.

Drowning my embarrassment at being in on a Saturday night with Aldi's Andara Chilean merlot.

An unfinished bottle of white and 3 unfinished bottles of red ( all about 1 glass short of being full). The wages of sin (or doing the washing up after a 50th birthday party).

Citrus tea with a little Shropshire honey.

Cheap rum

mrcharly-YHT · « **Reply #2062 on:** 19 October, 2015, 04:02:10 pm »

The cheap rum was preceded by witchcraft ginger beer. No, not the kids drink, this is 4.2% proper ginger beer.

Well gingery, almost a bit sweet; definitely needs chilling. Might have to buy some more, it's cheap in Lidl atm.

Healy's medium dry Cornish Scrumpy Cider. Perfick for washing down a Crantocks Bakery steak pasty and chips

I can't get any google hits on that, can you clarify?
Sweet gingery ginger beer is just the kind of thing I like. I'm not a fan of Crabbies- too beer-y. I used to drink Stones Ginger Joe but it's been removed from the shelves (seemingly mostly by me, and Mr Smith at my request) at our local Tescos.

I confused things by typing witchcraft when I should have typed wychwood.
It was this one, but from Lidl ('cause I'm a lidle shopper and only go into waitrose under protest)

Just taken delivery of a couple of bottles of Scottish Gin:

The Botanist, from Islay, and
Caorunn, from Cromdale.

We're cracking open The Botanist tonight.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #2067 on:** 23 October, 2015, 07:31:29 pm »

I like the Botanist (which is what we are drinking right now). Found the Caorunn a bit meh.
Going to a gin festival tomorrow...

Jakob W · « **Reply #2068 on:** 23 October, 2015, 09:57:24 pm »

Lidl limoncello from the freezer; bit sweet, but does the trick with dessert and a coffee.

ian · « **Reply #2069 on:** 24 October, 2015, 08:11:53 pm »

For some reason, probably because I'd drunk too much of it, we have two bottles of the The Botanist. It's not bad. Caorunn is indeed OK, but nothing special. For a Scots-ness, I like Pickerings or Darnley's View.

As I'm just back from dropping the wife off at Croydon's finest musical venue, I'm nursing a glass of my very own homebrewed lager, which remains surprisingly unfatal and dare I say, drinkable. I'm going to try brewing an IPA next.

A bottle of malbec. All of it.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #2071 on:** 24 October, 2015, 09:52:38 pm »

The gin festival was good, except for the fact it was sponsored by Fever Tree and therefore that was the only tonic.
Came home with a bottle of Cotswold (which we'd already had but liked) and some Dutch stuff called Bobby's, which was pretty interesting.

Feanor · « **Reply #2072 on:** 24 October, 2015, 10:34:49 pm »

Sounds good.

Our Botanist G+Ts have been with Fever Tree tonic, and I have no complaints.

I didn't like it. Too beery. Mr Smith had it instead. I also get some Hatherwood Ginger Grizzly which was much more like the thing. He reckons I'm going to be suffering tomorrow though, as it was a bit chemically astringent and cloudy. Whatevs, as the kids say.

Just finished my post-breakfast espresso, slightly over-roasted (for me) Esperanza from Colombia.
