No no no, your wrong. Rum is the best. It's ok if you prefer something else, but you're wrong. :)

Those kinds of beer goes great with spicy thai food or mexican food.

Two comments:

One is not a whiskey drinker if all he reels off are local store brands. ;-)

I quite enjoy the spiced or peated whiskeys myself, such as balblair or big peat.

Please, no Digital Mars Bar parties ... :-P

This D programmer would prefer a nice Chianti (but without fava beans or a census taker's liver...).

Ie, the ones that say on the bottle they're best when warmed ;) Also the ones that are best hot, which would be the lower-quality ones and any that are getting old (Sake's not like most other boozes - after the initial aging involved in production, more time beyond that just degrades the quality. After six months, may as well just drink it hot. I think people calling "rice wine" in misleading that way. It's not even a wine at all, it's made from a grain, not a fruit.)

I don't think it does, that's just what I call it. Except *usually* I spell "makeshift" with an "f" in it...

We usually have some fairly dark chocolate in the house. The antioxidants are a good excuse :)

I have no idea what kind of dark rum it was I tried (It was at
someone else's place). I think the bottle had a seal (the animal) on it.

Yea, ginger ale is good. (It's also good with gin - much better than a Gin & Tonic, since I don't like tonic.) That Fidel Castro I may try sometime.

Indeed. Ex: While I like certain Parrot Bays, they don't make for a great Rum & Coke.

This thread certainly puts all the requests for a bundled IDE in a new light... :^)

Quite.

I'm more partial to Speyside, any of them Spey, Findorn, Deveron, or Lossie. Single cask is best at cask strength: no two ever the same, brilliant. I'm currently working on bottles of 9.71, 9.72, 35.82, 36.66, 46.21, 71.37, and a couple of other that just arrived.

Hmm... Mars Bar Vodka...

Mars Attack: A drink compromised of elderflower liquor with citrusy apple juice, drops of Ramazotti and a dill foam.

Although, "double boiler" is a real technique:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_boiler

It's the normal recommended way to melt chocolate, among other uses.
