Grog. With rum AND red wine

>>8395588
Recipe?

>>8395585
so jealous, sounds like heaven. I just have a three day weekend. I like to have Celebration Ale from Sierra Nevada. I look forward to it every year. Eggnog with brandy is good too.

>dub dubs check'd
but for real, i never had grog before. it's just rum in hot water, right? still need to check that out. but how is the ratio on that recipe? do you warm the wine? how much wine? dry or sweet wine?

>Celebration Ale

I'll look out for it.

Yeah, this is the first time in years I've had any substantial time off over the holiday period and am looking forward to just lazing about.

ty, and just fyi I'm a quite an alkie when work allows it and also drink rum throughout the year at weekends, so I use a good one and don't mind the high alcohol in the end product

one part water and one part red wine (dry and heavy. if it says "taste of elderberries" in the description, it'll do just fine). Warm that up with some cinnamon and anise, to about where it boils, then add one part rum (so 1:1:1in the end) . Keep warm in a thermos, and I put some freshly ground pepper in just before serving. Packs quite a punch, of you don't mind the pun.

You can add cloves, if you want it even more like mulled wine

Fireball, Coke, and grenadine

Trashy but comfy

Also, by some peoples standards this >>8395681isn't a grog, I guess. Some like to put a shot of rum into a cup and top it off with boiling tap water and call that grog. Thats why I never ask for it in restaurants. One bad experience spoiled it all

Grasshopper
Brandy Alexander
Tom & Jerry

dude, we both completely forgot the most winter of all drinks. hot mead. didn't even had any this whole winter

from what I gathered it's not that loved in Britain, how true is that?

>>8395742
I've never actually had it and it only seems to be popular here with fat metal fans.

Will maybe give it a try though.

>>8395752
Oh. I'm a lard-y, hairy, beardy lad and listen to metal... You're quite right there. Also, I've had an epiphany this year, when talking about one of my fat metalhead friends, he and apperently loads of the types described twice now quite like sweet alcoholic beaverages for some reason. muscatin type of wines, mead, honey beer (it's a thing on the mainland)
apart from the spicy mead I dont it, though

>>8395772
>mead a sweet alcoholic beverage

You're fucking nuts. I make a dry mead that has zero sugars left according to hydrometer readings. What, are all your brit friends 16 year old grils/tranny/fags?

Head to your local Aldi and pick up some Christmas Glühwein (Cheer wine). It is the liquified stuff of Christmas.

>>8395947
What section would that be found it and do you know if they'd carry it in california?

>>8395585
glögg
