As an antidote to the mild abuse I'm getting on another thread for the sin of carrying a hip flask I thought I'd revive this thread to see if anyone has any good, new creations. In addition to my usual stalwarts of sloe gin, orange whisky, Christmas pudding vodka, I have recently brewed up some Raspberry gin (outstanding!!) and some Beetroot and Horseradish Vodka (somehwat unexpected, but surprisingly good).
Anyone else have anything new? |
Genepi - if it's cold. Armagnac or Calvados if it's warmer.

I think there should be a new addition to code of conduct

Brandy, it goes very well in hot chocholate.( hate it on it's own). When we went hunting we always had a mixture of black rum, brandy, and whiskey. ( it's cold and wet here,so it was central heating)

Yeah, but they're a b*gger to use discreetly in a restaurant or coffee shop... plus they won't fit in the dishwasher.

Home made sloe or damson gin, or occasionally the local schnaps. @Timg60, Thank you for reminding me to get my hip flask out and filled ready for next Saturday's annual trip to Arabba.

@GreenRob, I have a bar - and I spent a huge amount of money with Amathus, who are the sole UK importer of RVW. Still haven't got my hands on a Pappy yet...

Well, i'm sorry to learn of the abuse. Very un-snowheads. The Puritan Police again?
Mine used to contain home-made Toffee Vodka (best Russian Vodka and packet of Werthers Originals), but now contains Rusty Nail: Glenfiddich and Clayva. Much easier to concoct.

While I agree with the camelbak for binge purposes, sloe gin doesn't really make the most of it. You need some 40% proof and above really.
My hip flask is mostly empty, on the times it has stuff in it it's usually cheap. Think spiced rum, sambuca or Buckfast cheap (although I do feel that Buckfast comes in for some undue negative press, it's a taste sensation). On serious occasions it may have a single malt, but not anything too nice as it's just not the same. Sadly none of this can be consumed while skiing, because I ski like a cretin at the best of times and after a drink it's just downright reckless.

@Jonpim,
I had a West Indian fried who used to have a rusty nail with every lager that he ordered. By the end of the evening he was drinking both from pint glasses. It's a good job his dog knew the way home

@SnoodyMcFlude,
Is Buckfast cheap in Scotland? I seem to remember it's expensive at the Abbey. Perhaps that's just a tourist thing.

It's fantastic, but also dangerously strong. It's a favourite 'festival drink' of mine, a tasty drink that's not too heavy to carry. Other good flavours are rhubarb & custard and strawberry skittles.
For a twist on Blackjacks you can mix sambuca and coke, but that's more of a long drink than something for a hip flask.

@musher, Yep, for me Bucky is just a local delicacy. There's a service station in Ashburton that sells it, about £6 or £7 a bottle I think from memory.

@kiteman69, bleah: what a mess to clean out...
Cheap Whisky for me, to flavour the Hot chocs. (or straight - it just isn't the same out of metal canister is it, so no point wasting the expensive) with a bottle of the good stuff - GlenGoyne or Lagavoulin - back in the apartment.

My hip flask was also empty Cacciatore for the recent Alleghe trip, unfortunately a house party a week before the trip demolished my intended tipple of Goldschlager (cinnamon schnapps).
I did pick up a nice Myrtille (bilberry) grappa from Alleghe that will be in the hip flask for next weeks Austria trip.
