I hate the taste of liquor but I hate sobriety but I'm almost out of orange juice to make screwdrivers with but I don't wanna go to the store but the same volume of alcohol + sprite = I can taste so much alcohol and my mouth wants to die
what drinks do y'all think taste like ass but you're drinkin' anyway
kilju
makes sense but TIL you can just make alcohol with sugar, water and yeast, dang
cool that it's legal to make in Finland now, super lame it's still illegal to distill it into useful levels of alcohol
I would imagine they do but I'm not finnish, I only mentioned Finland because Kilju is apparently a finnish thing and the legality of it came up on wikipedia. (lol it used to be "illegal" but you could get around it by putting a few raisins in it, kind of hilarious)
I think if I were buying that much apple juice the cost and the effort for me would make it too close to just buying wine for it to be worth it, but sugar + yeast + water would potentially be cheap enough to be worth it if I were that broke and still desperate to end my sobriety
Maybe I'll try it, idk, I'm supposed to be trying to stop drinking though, I keep gaining weight and alcohol is my biggest source of useless calories. I guess you just dump all the ingredients together and let it sit in the dark for like a week, then filter it so you're not drinking dead yeast?
If you're going to the store to buy wine yeast you should consider spending the extra ten bucks to get some yeast nutrient and an airlock too. Apple juice that isn't fresh from the press is usually fortified with vitamin C to inhibit fermentation, so the nutrient can help, but if you're pitching a load of yeast meant for 5 gallons of must into 1 gallon it prolly won't make that big of a difference.
Either way, it's worth making a starter too - mix half a cup/~200mls of juice and an equal amount of water with the nutrient if you got any, dissolve maybe 1/8th of a teaspoon/0.2g of sugar, add the yeast, cover it with a towel, let it sit overnight and dump it into the rest of the juice the next day.
put the vodka in the freezer; it tastes less worse when it's colder. pour one big mouthful into a glass and toss it back without closing your mouth or swishing it around, just right down the hatch. then quickly grab a glass of water and drink enough of it to wash your mouth out. then drink a little bit of ginger ale or fruit juice to give you some taste to mask any lingering alcohol
I can theoretically take shots but I just really would rather not ever, even doing it exactly as you've said is extremely unpleasant
A surprising one I found is that if you put enough concentrated lemon juice in water it'll almost completely eliminate the taste of vodka and produce a pretty palatable drink, provided you like the taste of diluted lemon juice. I've done that when I ran out of ginger ale in the past.
I don't think I've had gin since I was a wee underage drinker so maybe I'll try that in the future if I'm still buyin' liquor. I just can't deal with the taste of alcohol, it's so bleghhh. Orange juice seems to totally cover it for me but I think it might be a little bit unhealthy for me to be drinking like half a gallon of OJ every night, plus the vodka probably doesn't help my stomach either, lol
Boilermakers. Honestly even when I get them right they still end up tasting rather funny but they're still tasty to me anyway. Somehow
I love the idea of a boilermaker but I just know that my dislike for the taste of alcohol would render it as "wasting" a perfectly good beer. But again, I think it's a fun concept, if only I weren't cursed with such a childish drinking palette
the only reason i tolerate them is that i just fucking love the taste of grains. so much so that my friends called me a duck
