memebag Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 There's a lot of discussion of what to drink if the power goes out on other threads. I thought I'd start a topic just about that subject.My vote is for cognac because it shouldn't be refrigerated and it makes even the most primitive setting feel supremely civilized. Hennesy XO, if you have it.What about the rest of you lushes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking if I stick a couple of icees in the box it'll stay chilly for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I have bourbon, scotch, and beer...George Thorogood told me it was the right thing to do.But as soon as the power goes I'll make some margaritas before the ice melts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 If it was anywhere else along the Gulf coast I'd say a classic New Orleans Hurricane. In Florida I'd say rum.But we're talking about Texas. As far as I'm concerned, that means you drink beer until it gets warm or the skies get dark. Then you switch to whiskey/burbon/rye. Everyone gets their own bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 What brands should we look for if the looting starts?I tried a lot the small batch stuff, and Woodford Reserve is good. I'm into rye lately and Sazerac Rye in particluar.But I'm happen with good ole Jim Beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westguy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I know it's in the image name. The white guy is always "rescuing" and the black guy is always "looting". Maybe he's just saving a few beers for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's just saving a few beers for later. It's a shame no one knows the real story on that dude. He wasn't looting. He was delivering life saving refreshment to a convent of nuns trapped by the swirling waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTX Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 From ground zero,or Seabrook, take your pick, it's been beer while taking the mast down, vodka tonic while watching TWC and checking out Jeff Masters on weather underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 You know, it probably goes without saying, but the Dude's drink of choice, the Caucasian, is probably the WORST hurrican drink, due to its reliance on half and half as a mixer. Perhaps a Black Russian (an African? An African Alexiev? Help me out here, macbro.) would be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 First vodka tonic down the hatch!#2 in progress. I think after this I'll switch to the bourbon, then if I'm awake scotch to top it off. I'm looking forward to grilling stuff this weekend too. But I was wicked disappointed that the Kroger didn't have any cheddar-wurst. Sausage is not fatty enough on its own, I need cheese in there too.

crunchtastic Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Vodka number two, away she goes! We just ate crawfish etouffe. I did not cook the roux down as long as usual, but it was still good. Our freezer is full of crawfish tails and shrimp. No steak for us. Things could definitely be worse. My neighbor across the street is weeding her flower bed. Think I'll bring her a beer and go visit a while. Where's Red? Hope he isn't out of Capn Morgans yet. He'll be looting the Heights for rum. Yarrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out entertaining the neighbors. I'm actually surprised at how many hurricane virgins there are around here. I would wager that half the Houston population or more has never been through a direct hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahiki Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 On a different beverage note, addicts like me should remember to brew some coffee now and put it on ice for the morning, in case there's no power then. Personally, I don't want to face tomorrow without a nice hit of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
