I'm drinking what Clooney's drinking. Who's with me?

[kedrys]

I have tomorrow off. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I do not have tomorrow off, I am screwn.

:rofl:



My mom got some of that stuff, I thought it tasted like soap. :shrug:

[xmas74]

2. What up?

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. The sky?

Lesson for the day: Tequila makes Rev silly. :rofl:

[xmas74]

4. Are you drinking?

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Yup!

I was only going to have one.... :silly:

[kedrys]

9. I almost picked some up

I was already in the checkout line with the limoncello and a bottle of Jimi Hendrix vodka (yes!), and the guy in front of me was buying 2 bottles of tequila. Too late! :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

12. Jimi Hendrix vodka??

What is that? :o

[kedrys]

16. It's...Jimi Hendrix vodka

The bottle looked so cool, I had to get it (the purple one in the middle, the unflavored version). Plus it's reputed to be ultrapremium, and elegantly smooth.

It wasn't cheap, that's fer shure, so my expectations are high. I'll find out this weekend and report back. :patriot:

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. Oh! Those bottles are fantastic.

Please do! :bounce:

[kedrys]

6. I remembered it when I was at the booze store

and picked some up. I did add a dash of sugar to it, but the stuff *is* 62 proof. :rofl:

:toast:

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. Now that's a good idea, adding the sugar.

Maybe that would make it better. :silly:

[Xipe Totec]

7. What tha' hell is dat?

It's way too yellow for my tastes.

I bet it's sour too, which would be a good thing 'cause I like sour....


... and bitter...


:toast:

[kedrys]

10. Caravella Limoncello

Extremely high octane, very sour, very sour, and a bit sour.

Makes your gills tingle.

:toast:

[Xipe Totec]

14. I'll have to get some; thank you!

and thank that tank, George Clooney!

[grasswire]

8. is that limoncello?

I've been thinking of buying some to try.

[kedrys]

13. Oh yeah.

The alcohol level makes it taste a bit, er, antiseptic, but it also works pretty fast, even on a full stomach. :D

[supernova]

15. I have a recipe for Limoncello

somewhere around here. It seemed pretty easy to do. I'll see if I can find it.

I collected recipes one year b/c I considered give away home-made brandies for the holidays.

[kedrys]

17. I saw a couple - including one for

a limoncello Bellini. :wow: It's apparently the rage in mixers. Since I don't go clubbing anymore, I have to rely on Mr Clooney to find out what's trendy. :rofl:

[supernova]

18. Limoncello Bellini??

Isn't that guilding the lily?

:rofl:

[kedrys]

20. Chemical composition as follows:

3oz peach nectar
3oz champagne
Dash of limoncello

As someone who's not afraid of "girly drinks" - possibly because they can always be goosed to indecent octane levels :evilgrin: - I kinda wish I had some peach nectar in da house.

[supernova]

22. Sounds good

actually.

:9

21. Limoncello recipe

I saved this as a text file some time ago and forgot to record the source, but I would have been looking for real stuff.

1 Liter Everclear
10 medium to large lemons
1 1/2 Liters water
3 Pounds of sugar


Wash the lemons with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any residue, including pesticides or was; pat the lemons dry. Using potato peeler, take all the lemon rind off the lemons so there is no white pith on the peel. Place the rind-peelings in a large container with the Everclear. Cover the container and let it sit for seven days

On the eighth day, strain the peels from the alcohol; discard the peels.

I a large saucepan, make a simple syrup by combining the water and sugar; let simmer "fast" for 15 minutes. Let simple syrup cool to room temperature. Add to alcohol

You are now finished and can drink it right away.

NOTE: This same recipe works for arancello also. Use 10 large oranges.

[kedrys]

25. Wow! Simple and deadly!

Thanks for the recipe - I just may have to give it a try. :hi:

[supernova]

28. Truely!

Must serve in small little shot glasses. :rofl:

I might have to try that this summer

[bettyellen]

23. my ass, i've had what clooney's drinking spilled on it. by george.....

[kedrys]

24. Okay, I'm officially impressed.

On many many levels.

[bettyellen]

26. yes, he had his arm around me, and there was a vodka and soda in that hand....

and he is something all right. hard not to love.

[kedrys]

27. He strikes me as a perfect gent

a rare breed.

Cool that you got to meet him. :)

[bettyellen]
