Frankie - you quit hittin' the rum?

nope, just seem to been hitting the same 3 so haven't been posting them. Probably gonna open a new Cachaca tonight so might have a new post later. Gotta get some sake too. Really not much to choose from here.


oh, by the way, the last obstacle has been dealt with (he just doesn't know it yet) and I will now start putting together the bits and pieces all over the place, gathering some new bits and pieces, burning a couple more cd's, and finally get something out to you.

Cachaca Boazinha, Brazil (obviously).

Up til now I've only had a few different brands, Lablon being the best known. But all were white and not really meant to go solo. Typically they are mixed into muddled lime and sugar with lots of ice, pretty much the national drink of Brasil, or with fruit juices. Sometimes used in place of vodka or gin in other mixed drinks.

This is the first I've had that is golden or straw colored and it is much more palatable. Had some on the rocks, could get used to that, poured a splash of diet cranberry Sprite into the end of that drink and that was delicious. Looking for a smoke to go with the next one before calling it a night.

sorry, forgot to mention the name of the drink...caipirinha.

wow! this is extremely complex, certainly not for beginners. powerful grog.

had a snort neat, then tried a bit with water. Not much difference. This is the stuff that may put hair on your chest...or remove it, not sure!

Thank you Nick, this stuff is mind blowing. I hope you enjoy the return fire (went out this morning). And Robert, let me know when you want to buckle your seat belt, pour a shot, face Indiana, bow toward St. Nick, grit your teeth, and pour one down the hatch in unison with me.
