Rant/Rave: Bourbon

rolls off the tongue

I'm going to order it at my next brunch along with eggs that are beaten, mixed with milk, easy on the butter, and then scrambled and cooked on medium heat but aren't scrambled eggs.

I was given some of this as a gag gift at a Christmas party a while back. I had it mixed with Coke because it's like 11324234 proof. I poured myself some neat last night and it's actually not half bad.

If you mix that with Squirt, you get a Baloma...I think...or as jim would call it "Mexican Jack Daniels"

Make sure David Spade is with you.

Neither.

I'll call it a margarita mix mixed with tequila but without triple sec not to be confused with a palmoa or mexican margarita or margarita in the future.

Admittedly, I'm being a bit of a snob about that one, like many of the things about which I care about the little differences that make the difference between quality and ease. Margarita's don't have preservative-laden bottled mixer. Tacos don't have seasoning packets. Coffee doesn't come in environmentally disastrous little pods. A gourmet burger doesn't come off a commercial truck. Beer doesn't have corn and rice in it. Scrambled eggs are different than omelettes. I'm sure there are people for whom ease trumps quality, or more likely who haven't been exposed to a proper margarita, proper tacos, well-made coffee, great beer, and proper scrambled eggs, and to them those small differences sound nonexistent, and the person who brings them up trifling.

Haven't been exposed to what is "proper"? Lucky we have you to tell us. I don't know who you think you are, but keep it up. It's very entertaining.

Mexican Margarita, Paloma...Breaking Ball, Curve Ball...what's the difference?!

Command, control.


Can someone please square that one away for me?

[lukethedrifter]

is it a margarita or a paloma if you just put in tequila and margarita mix without triple sec?

I call that a melanoma.


Did jim say he's hanging out with the Zetas, banging hookers drinking Mexican margaritas? He did.

I think there's a good number of people who just think of food and drinks as stuff they need to survive, and they like to get it over with so they can move on to whatever it is they like to do.

Hanging out in the cantina, sippin' a little tequila with squirt, and listening to a little music like this on the jukebox.
