In case you ever want to prepare a scotch or bourbon for me, here are the steps to take:
- Using ice (never use ice from an ice maker unless it's store bought ice) crack the ice by placing it in the palm of your hand and crack it with a tablespoon.
- Place the ice into a crystal old fashioned glass. A highball is acceptable.
- The ice will be heaped over the top of the glass. The different size cracked ice will ensure that the ice melts at the perfect "melting speed."
- Pour the scotch or bourbon almost to the top of the glass.
- Add a splash of water. Use only spring water or water that has been filtered.
- If the liquor is mid-grade, like Jack Daniels, add a bit more water.
- Never serve me lower level (peasant stock) liquor.
Stir.
- Hand it to me.
- Sit on chair and watch me drink it.
I use the same process, but I don't don't drink bourbon, strictly scotch. Bourbon's for University of Georgia football fan gomers.
ReplyDeleteWhat the . . . Time out. Dr. Z when did you start letting Dr. Z, Sr. start guest blogging? I may have to put on my gorilla suit.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Dtown Cobra. Hello my friend.
ReplyDeleteWait, when do I don the bunny suit? Wash my hands? And are my legs crossed at the knees when I sit or just demurely at the ankles?
ReplyDeleteCome on, I need direction!
The Mad Woman - at the beginning, at the beginning and demurely at the ankles while I amuse you with interesting tales of my worldly travels.
ReplyDeleteI like to drink my whiskey in a coffee mug. That way I don't get odd looks from folks at 10AM.
ReplyDeleteI don't mess around with ice and glassware. I drink outside the liquor store straight from the paper bag...
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know I don't have to serve you naked, as I planned.
ReplyDeleteIs this before or after your harem dresses you in silk pajamas and smoking jacket?
ReplyDeleteSybil Law - That's a given.
ReplyDeleteThese rules make perfectly good sense except that, in my reality, you would be serving me. Don't forget the bunny suit.
ReplyDeleteGwennnnnnie!
ReplyDeleteOK and I may even wear a bunny suit. I wore one three years ago on Easter at an Easter Egg hunt.
Drunking is bad.
ReplyDeleteJust glad you stopped using ice from the heart of a glacier. While it is clear, and doesn't melt very fast, making it excellent in drinks, it is good to see you suffering, for the planet.
ReplyDeleteHey Doc Z,
