So What Are We Drinking Tonight?

I'm drinking a beer called Phoque Datte. The name literally translates to seal date, as in the fruit. It sounds better in French though. It's a stout. It's one of the best beer names out there. It tastes pretty damned good too.

I've had that cocktail, but here it was referred to as a French 75. Very refreshing and delicious for summer.

Iirc it's French when you use bourbon or cognac instead of gin. I want to try it with d'usse.

They called it a French 75 where I had it, and it was made with gin, but the bartender mentioned it could be made with cognac.

***googles D'Usse*** lol

The description of the bouquet with woody notes, ripe blackberry and apricot, layered with hints of dark chocolate and walnut - sounds beautiful. I like reading about liquor more than drinking it. Really, the descriptions of some cocktails are gorgeous - and I love to watch them being made! It's an art form.

Don't you think you should slow down a bit, Paul?

I was recently "promoted" to practice manager which only means that in addition to client work I get to plan lots more events for persnickety attorneys, especially in summer. One partner asked me this morning to coordinate an axe-throwing event, and another just emailed me this booze list without a subject line or telling me what party it's for: "Balvenie Caribbean cask, Laphroig 12yr, anything Glenrothes, Vodka - grey goose/ketel. Tequila - Casamigos, Rum - Bacardi, Scotch - glenlivet 12/ glenfiddich 14, Bourbon - basil Hayden/ woodFord reserve"

I need a mega pint right now.
