Well, I gotta say that I understand the initial feeling towards booze. Liquor is about the subtleties not the whole. Ethanol will cook your throat. No doubt about that, but it is the impurities that make up the bottle of Maker’s Mark or Sailor Jerry (to grab ridiculously different bottles) and produce the dance on the tongue that makes good booze good booze. Furthermore I have to throw in that I’m about a bottle in of Maker’s Mark to clarify my sloppy language. Point is … it is about the dance on the tongue not the effect on the brain that is the desired effect. Once you get past the burn on the ethanol, you begin to appreciate the work (and the flavors) involved in booze.
If this is not clear I must apologize that I’ve been drinking most of the evening and that ethanol has pretty well cooked by brain. We all have a road that we must travel, and without exception that road is easier traveled boozed up.

I cannot begin to describe how difficult it was to post this with proper attribution










Wow, you just improved one of my favorite quotes. And your assessment is very much on the (Maker’s) mark. Once I drink the first shot, the rest are smoother, and I can taste the flavors and appreciate them better.
I did notice Nicole posted the Chocolate Martini recipe at that site, too
