He helped pick the gardens where they would grow and demanded the finest blue agave plants. He frequently visited the gardens. He was very hands-on from what was shown. He didn't just want a brand of tequila. He wanted to make it the best on the market.

I'm hoping to at least be able to have a cold Mtn. Dew or 2!! No BS, I thought about you when I made the selection. I had to go decent but affordable because I knew I would be drinking for 2 today. (I'll drink for Mrs. Loof on Sundays!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a little out of place, but it’s my late best friend’s birthday, and maybe I’m a touch sentimental, but I’m just trying to say I appreciate good, intelligent, thoughtful, respectful people, with good taste, and a good sense of humor.

I didn't know that was a thing. Of course, I thought "mixing up egg nog" meant pouring a shot of bourbon in the grocery store stuff. We like to make a double batch of homemade Irish cream for the holidays and give half of it out as gifts to neighbors and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to make a double batch of homemade Irish cream for the holidays and give half of it out as gifts to neighbors and such. It is, and it’s pretty damn tasty. My lady and I have a tradition of a Christmas/Holiday movie marathon including, Christmas Vacation, Elf, etc. all the while sipping on that thick, rich, boozy, Holiday nectar. Also, it’s a nice, mellow, incredibly happy buzz. In fact, it’s probably the “happiest buzz” I’ve ever had (from an alcoholic beverage, that is ?)! I dig the homemade Irish Cream idea. I’ve made Limoncello a few times, as it’s easy, cheap, and delicious. If you’re down for a little recipe exchange, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INGREDIENTS: 1⅔ cups Irish whisky 1 cup half & half or heavy cream 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon instant coffee DIRECTIONS: Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree on high speed for 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to an airtight container or glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Shake well before using. *Use the spirit of your choice, of course. I've been pondering rum and bourbon versions. And I've "accidentally" spilled a little more whisky than that in the blender, but the recommended measure will warm the pipes just fine. Slainte!

Also, I think we can count this as the only thread in the history of AUFamily (maybe even back to the ‘Eagle days) with 100+ replies, and not a single argument. Maybe there’s hope for this country, yet...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! Awesome! Can't wait. My wife will be excited, too, because she's on the wagon until late November. Also, we're starting to establish our own traditions for our immediate family and that is soooooooo up our alley. Who says never schedule a meeting late on a Friday???
