====================
-=> Quoting Dave Drum to Jim Weller <=-

 JW> If Raine stays in Fort McMurray and Ray stays in Peace
 JW> River we might just move to a little town right in the middle. It's
 JW> called Athabaska... only 90 miles north of Edmonton

 DD> Not to mention it wouldn't cost you a thousand bucks to fly to
 DD> somewhere to connect to somewhere worth going to.

That too.

Quote of the day (too long to make into a tagline)...

"I have long avoided writing at length about the hangover, in much
the same way medieval monks refused to speak of the Devil for fear
the mere mention of his name might add to his power."

     Title: Tippler's Taxonomy: A Guide To Cocktail Categories Pt 2
Categories: alcohol, beverages, info
  Servings: 4

           Info

Hot Drinks: coffee-based drinks such as an Irish Coffee, to Hot
Buttered Rum, a Hot Toddy and a Tom & Jerry (which could also
arguably fit into the Flips and Nogs category).

Flips and Nogs: flips incorporate whole eggs; they can be made with
cream and beer and maple syrup or as simple as a base spirit, an
egg, and a little sugar or other sweetener, all shaken together with
ice, strained into a glass and served with a scraping of nutmeg.
Examples include the Fort Washington Flip and the Colleen Bawn.

Nogs are basically flips made milk or cream as well as eggs along
with sugar and the base spirit; the classic example is the common
holiday Eggnog.

Pousse Family: layered drinks

Tropical-Style Drinks: Also known as "tiki" or "exotic" drinks,
these mixtures are designed to evoke some kind of South
Pacific/Caribbean fantasyland. They are mostly single-serving punch-
style drinks featuring a base spirit, fruit juices and syrups or
liqueurs, often deployed in various combinations. Unlike sours,
these drinks are typically served with an abundance of ice, sometimes
as cubes, sometimes crushed and with everything swizzled together,
and sometimes everything is tossed in a blender and the bartender
just lets 'er rip.

The simplest tropical-style drinks are relatives of the Daiquiri
with one foot in the Sour category, think Planter's Punch, while the
more exotic can be amazingly complex, such as with the legendary
Zombie. And while rum accounts for the base ingredient in a vast
number of tropical- style drinks, there are some excellent drinks of
this style made with tequila, bourbon or gin, such as the Singapore
Sling.

Punch: is more of a group effort. Punch can be served hot or cold,
strong or weak, with as much complexity and fanfare as you can
possibly muster or as simple and as basic as can be. 

Old (and Odd) Birds:

Cobblers are a base spirit or fortified wine such as sherry, mixed
with a little sugar and served in a glass packed with crushed ice
and garnished with an abundance of fresh fruit. Later versions
swapped the sugar for a fruit syrup such as raspberry or pineapple,
or a liqueur, and sometimes introduced muddled fruit. 

Beer & Cider-based Drinks: the Stone Fence...hard cider with a shot
of rum, brandy, whiskey or what-have-you dumped in it, predates the
Republic. Also the Black Velvet and the Green Devil.

Bloodies: tomato juice spiked with liquor, flavored and garnished
with pretty much whatever floats your boat. 

Wine-based Cocktails: drinks based on fortified wines such as
vermouth or sherry. For examples, check out the Rose, the Adonis and
the Bamboo.
