What Libations Will You Be Consuming On New Years Eve?

Recommended Posts

Home made Apple Pie

 

Home made Irish creme

 

We made many pints of these and gave them away as Christmas gifts. Saved some for us of course. :cheers:

I'll probably drink some beer, probably Killian's Irish Red. I also have a few left over from a Sam Adams winter sampler pack. My wife has been really into champagne for the last year or so she'll probably go with that.

 

This is the first year that my wife and I have been together (I think 9 years) that we aren't going out for at least a New Year's Dinner.

We are trying to get out of our red wine rut. On our recent cruise my wife got into a "Kir Royale" which is fancy for champagne with a splash of creme de cassis. We recently bought the cassis so I imagine we'll toast with those. Might pick up some sweet vermouth and bitters to make manhattans, which are my new favorite non-wine drink. Wife also picked up some lemon-infused olives at our local olive mill; got vodka so with some dry vermouth I might make a (slightly dirty) martini. Actually I'll probably pick one of those two, that is starting to sound like a lot of different booze.

 

And probably some red wine. :D

This, I'll have a few JW Blacks on the rocks though. Sometimes we stay up late enough to toast with the eastern time zone (we are CST.)

 

A few mimosas in the morning with our steak and eggs.

We're going to do a chefs menu at a nice sushi restaurant in Denver and then bar hopping and some higher end bars. We'll probably end up at your mom's house.

Anyone try a Caramel Apple? My wife is looking for something that doesn't taste too alcoholic but thinks a vodka and ______ is a copout. My son works at a Dave and Busters and said these flavored Crowns are really good.

 

INGREDIENTS

.75 oz. Crown Royal Salted Caramel

1 oz. Crown Royal Regal Apple

.5 oz. lemon juice

4 oz. ginger ale

red apple slice

Never seen a guy so concerned with what others are doing. We all can't have your super successful life.

Well good for you. What do you care when people post here? It seems to be a thing with you.

It's a little sad to be here on Christmas Eve and Christmas, it's very sad actually. Weekends are sad, Holidays are very sad.

 

I can be sad for people.

This. I used to think it was a bit pathetic that people posted here on weekends. Now, the Internet is around us always, on our phones and tablets.

 

Not to mention, I'm older now. I have kids, so I'm not out on weekends as much. There are a bunch of sites I frequent while hanging out and watching Netflix or whatever. This is one of them.

Nice.

 

I am considering driving over to Grand Canyon and doing some sort of r2r2r over 2-3 days. Or maybe just a r2phantomranch2r. Starting off the new year retracing one of my favorite trips, surrounded by some of nature's best, would set a good tone for the year, for me.

 

Are you from SoCal? Also don't you need to reserve those kinds of trips? :dunno:

You need reservations to raft the Colorado River through the canyon. Anyone can hike from rim to rim, though if it takes more than a day you need lodging or camping permits, both of which are limited.

Bad thing about not living in SA anymore: used to be able to stay home with my wife and watch all the fireworks across the entire city from our house. Was really nice cause we didnt have to pay for them, fight the traffic, or deal with drunken idiots. Just stay comfortable at home, drinking our own drinks, and watch all the fireworks across the city (we stayed on the outskirts of town to try and not deal with all the traffic). That was one of the best new years Ive had in a while. Just being able to relax at home and see hundreds of fireworks exploding all at once from across the entire city

Really interesting. Due to worldwide shortages in rice. They're converting too much heartuer grain in millet.

 

They are also expanding the definition of sushi to include such things as amphibians and insects.

They're right next to each other, owned by the same person. Izakaya Den serves small plates in addition to sushi.
