Whatcha drinking (2024)?

[Yorky]

Although I still drink a half glass of beer most evenings, my daily liquid intake at present generally amounts to a glass of "Complan" at breakfast and lemon cordial mixed with bottled water and squeezed fresh lime juice (to reduce the sweetness) which I sip for the rest of the day.

What’d I order?

I saw this, and it was on sale. I don't recall if I have ever had regular Blue Moon. I wonder if five of the six beers in here will go to waste.

Just got back in from a walk in the freezing cold with husband, so I’m warming up with some hot chocolate.

Since it is 15F/-9C here, I can't imagine what it must be like there.

Currently -11C, but with windchill of -21C. It was warmer when we were out walking, but very windy. Coldest we’ve had this winter by quite a bit.

Hey there, did you Canadians go and send your weather down here, again? It is supposed to be way colder up there in January, but is is currently -11C here, too. That ain't right.

I will never spill the beans about the special ritual, which definitely does not involve a midnight gathering in an igloo, a bag of ketchup chips, large amounts of poutine, a flock of Canada geese, and one single Coffee Crisp bar.

We have lots of Canada geese down here this time of year. I've always been suspicious.

This is either creme di melone liqueur or MrsT’s new herbal shampoo:

Well, this is Centerville, so closer to Dayton, and check this out:

I thought he was done when I took that pic, but no - he added dry ice and some kind of giant sparkler before he was finished.

This place has definitely caught me in the right mood - I'm loving it, even though it’s fairly noisy (and very bright - neon paint everywhere).

Sometimes, you go in a place here, like an Irish bar or a Chinese place, and it’s campy and sort of offensive.

Then you walk in a place like I’m in now, it’s so crazy, over-the-top campy, you can’t help but love it. I’m listening to the hits of Tom Jones, Roy Orbison and the like…done by a cheesy mariachi band - it’s <bleeping> great.

The waitresses are all “plump, purty, and flirty,” and the bartender is an artiste - I just watched him fill a giant square glass goblet with some kind of frozen margarita mix, put about a half-pound of fresh fruit slices all around the edge, and to top it off, he upended two Seagrams alkie-pops in there, and they’re slowly oozing out and coloring the much lighter-colored frozen goop.

It’s insane. It’s like I walked through that door and entered another dimension. I <bleeping> love it! I might just run off with my waitress.
