I have a coupe bottles of Ron Zacapa, The 21 and a 12 El Dorado (the best IMO), a bottle of under the table Bitterwood, a set of Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, some Sangria, a Guava rum punch and two sorrel rum punches, and a Benriach 16 Malt whisky.

People bring their own beers. I am not a beer man though I have some Cider in the downstairs.

Very health. Extremely important to get fiber and vitamins from fresh fruit! Keep it going.
Put some strong rum (1 oz) in it if longevity is what you seek.

I refuse to drink/pay for some a the North American piss they sell here and call it liquor. razz razz
That's why I prefer for a good drink to go for single malt scotch.
Anyway, I hear Santa giving me a bottle of El dorado 12. big grin lol

Red Stripe Sorrel

I do mi own sorrel drink - spiced with rum and pimento seeds. One can get the peeled Sorrel red fruity segments in good amounts via NYC (my aunt ships it to me via post/UPS) ...

 
eXodus 2014-12-22 10:24:05 

dat sorrel beer sounds interesting

 
pelon 2014-12-22 10:43:38 

In reply to eXodus

Anytime. Door open. np and muhself got Guinness on lock - but when de evening drinks start mine is always Tanqueray and Tonic with lime...

np: niceness... I never had it spiced with pimento seed - so yuh must share that family heirloom recipie nuh! lol lol

 
np 2014-12-22 10:55:54 

In reply to pelon

Yes bro Pelon .. the pimento seed adds a distinct flavor - dont crush the seed just use it as is ... I know somw folks add a few rice grains to the sorrel too after it is done ... to speed up the fermentation process and add some new "low level" alcohol via that process.

A couple recipes --
with rice grains

Sorrel Drink.

Never had Rum from Suriname, but I here on the last couple of days of vacation making merry.

Had some Single Malt to keep the night dew at bay about 3 minutes ago - but drank too much Sunset infused sorrel during de day.

What would you compare/describe Suriname rum to?
