[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 8971098, member: 6802604"] RE: the negroni, has it taken a while because you've been working your way through other cocktails first? Or are the ingredients, presumably aside from gin, not easy to come by where you are? It's a simple enough drink. Definitely not for everyone. A friend of mine got into cocktails a bit before I did, and when we were discussing drinks once he mentioned he'll likely own his bottle of campari for the rest of his life because negroni's are not for him. Now, I like bitter flavors, and for the record I do like a good negroni, but I cannot tell a lie... my reaction after I took my first sip of the first negroni I made was to say "Yeah... I can see why a lot of people would hate this." I mean, campari doesn't F around. Not my go-to cocktail, but still something I keep in rotation. As far as drinking in general, I certainly drank much more when I was younger. Of course the birth of our son while my wife and I were still attending university put an immediate halt to that. To clarify, because I somehow feel like I should even though this should go without saying, the drinking stopped once we knew she was pregnant, not nine months later when the baby arrived. Since then we've both become social drinkers only. We'll have a drink or two when we occasionally go out to eat or attend a party at a friend's house, but that's it for the most part. If we're hosting... then maybe it'll be more than a couple, but still not enough to get anything more than a mild buzz going. I'm usually cooking at these events, so mixing fire and sharp objects with drunkenness is a recipe for me to loose a finger... or my eyebrows. I'll also mix us one drink each after we get settled at home after work on Fridays. This is usually where I'll make something new to try if I'm not going for a proven favorite. It's fun to mess around with. I wasn't expecting my culinary path to lead around to mixing drinks, but here I am. [/QUOTE]
