Goof for him? GOOF? A superlative and altogether brilliant typo, if that's what it is.

Ah, Appleton's and coke, another fine tipple that I've enjoyed my share of too. That's my wife's second favourite, after gin and tonic with a twist of lime, and both work equally well. Ya wanna talk about panty remover... But this is a family board. Isn't it? ;-)
You have a talking and posting necklace and call it Toro? Er, him rather. Cool.
Um, I think so.
Anyway, I like G&Ts, too. But, I prefer my Appleton's unpolluted.
Never tried rum straight up, but since you're obviously an intelligent person of good taste and refinement ;-) I think I will now. I take scotch straight up or with a little water, depending on the brand, and rye usually with coke or ginger ale, though a really well aged rye is worth taking straight up too or with just a splash of water. It never occurred to me to try rum that way. Thanks Gil, a day you don't learn something new is a day wasted.

Yesh, whash da problem <hic>
My father told me to never mix good spirits with anything but water, he was rabidly against pop in drinks he maintained that it was the cause of ill feelings.
He was a wise man. Soda and spirits is one thing I rarely drink anymore. Wine, beer, caesars, rye in a morning coffee (the perfect camping warm up), scotch, or pressed rye. Really good dark rum is the exception, as a cuba libra is a very tasty drink... but only one. More than that is taking your life into your own hands.
I have now. Not bad at all, definitely worth trying again. I'll have to try it with a wee bit of water sometime too. Most scotches, except for the blends, which except for Ballantynes are rarely worth taking at all after you've sampled a good single malt, are best taken straight up, but some are improved by a wee bit of water, so I wonder if the same might be true of rums. Hah! A new research project. I think I owe you one Gil. Where can I send that 40 of Appletons?
A friend once brought me a bottle of rum from one of his trips to Venezuela. WOW. It was dark dark rum. I've never found a bottle like it here. It was SO good all I took with it was a splash of soda and a dash of lime. It went down like honey.
My pleasure. Slightly chilled with a bit of water sometimes is good. But completely unpolluted most of the time. Of course, everyone experiments till they have a taste particular to them.
Another concoction I like is coffee with a bit of Carmichael's Irish Cream and Napoleon Brandy in it. Straight Irish Cream in coffee is a bit sweet for my tastes so I add the Napoleon.
Also, hot chocolate with Peppermint Schnapp's, Creme de Menthe (white is best. The green makes the drink look a bit unappetising). Nice when one has been out skiing and is cold.

Hah! I knew you were brilliant, Gil. ;-) I have great confidence in the brewing and distilling trades, based on a liaison begun in early youth, to produce drinks perfect for any and all occasions with a little bit of experimentation and testing. Whatever the occasion, there's a perfect drink for it.
My husband and I are non drinkers, but in the last year or so, I have gone into the liquor store
to buy a nice wine to have sometime during the evening, as I have heard on many occasions that
it is a nice drink to maintain good health, and now that we are 'h hmm', a little older, we are doing that.
The above posts lead me to believe there are some 'knowledgeable' posters who can help me.
I need some 'names' of nice wines to try, as I don't have a clue. Not too dry please.

Wine? Invest $100 for the basic tools and make your own. You can make better stuff at home for about $2 a bottle than you can buy at a liquor store for $25.
