Nova Scotia?  Bloody hell.

I’m pretty much resigned to drinking Glenmorangie these days, which I refer to as ‘the Budweiser of Scot whisky’.  
 

It’s difficult to afford anything, what with Michigan adding three separate 4% taxes, and then adds a 65% profit onto that!   I can get a bottle of said Glenmorangie in Louisiana for about $35 US, in Michigan it’s around $45.

M&S sloe gin. I'd say it's comparable to the Rīga Black Balsam I brought back from Latvia last year. Clears your sinuses. Today's my gran's 2nd death anniversary, so we had a toast to her, then a few more toasts. My da tried to lift my maw while "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals was playing, and they both ended up on the kitchen floor, but fortunately no broken hips this time.

This stuff, 12% Icelandic Stout apparently. I didn't have to pay because I met a Scouser whose best friend won a million pounds in the lottery. I've had two (plus a Baileys shot) and I'm fucking steaminggggg. My Scouser pal has met a girlfriend in the time we've been drinking it.

Not been doing cocktails so much lately, but finally got hold of a bottle of Calvados which allowed me to try this.

 

Honeymoon

Calvados, Benedictine, lemon juice, Orange Curacao

 

Gorgeous sweet-sour citrussy treat. 

I didn't have a lemon so subbed in lime juice, and Triple Sec for the curacao.  Added a couple of drops of orange bitters.

This very nice looking Japanese vodka would have been great if I’d only looked at it, unfortunately it tasted of sadness and disappointment.

I got through though, I’m not a quitter.

I do my own; this year I've bought a couple of dozen assorted Belgian beers (memories of the Amsterdam DLCON!) and select them randomly, posting them on Facebook to seemingly nobody. It's a thing I began in lockdown when Christmas drinks were off limits (to everyone outside of number 10) and discovered the pleasures of having beers delivered to my front door.

 

Yesterday kicked off with De Koninck Bolleke at 5.2%. Today will be Haacht's Super 8 Blanche (5.1%)

I am picturing them arranged in a crate on its side, with numbered cardboard door flaps.
