This will upset many people who may visit this thread. The will consider it blasphemy, and there was a time I would have agreed with them.

Scotch--and milk. In a ratio of four to one. No ice. I usually start with three ounces of milk thus necessitating twelve ounces of scotch. Two glasses of that and I'm ready for me bed.

From the album Doctor's Orders

(nick lowe/gypie mayo)

White boy in town
Big black, blue sound
Night club, i paid in
I got a stamp on my skin

Main attraction dead on his feet
Black man rhythm with a white boy beat
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

Stay put i wanna go
Hard work, bad show
More liquor, it don't help
He's gonna die, it breaks my heart

I decided eventually
This ain't doing a thing for me
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

- guitar solo -

They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

Got up, i walked out
To the car, start it up
Feel bad, sad night
I never saw a red light

Sirens were a screamin' all around
I pulled on over and i shut her down
A black cop gave me a shove with his gun
Said up against the wall and don't make a run
They got me on milk and alcohol
They got me on milk and alcohol

"Tasting notes: its initial sweetness is, apparently, "of roasted and vinous notes with a subtle bitter aftertaste". Strong fruitiness, often with "banana notes" standing out, is derived from Old Peculier's fermentation process."

Bannanas ?

Baileys and brandy if I'm on a bender, or 2 pints of Guinness followed by a cognac if it's a nice quite evening....

Glenmorangie is good but chilled from the freezer is even better.
Jameson otherwise but 12yr old Blackbush preferably.

Milk and whisk(e)y has always been a good nightcap. Preferably warm milk. Or there's always Baileys and the various Baileys clones - whiskey, cream and honey and so forth.

People who get all reverential about (alcoholic) spirits seem to me to have hold of the wrong end of the stick. These are ingredients to be used in whatever way seems most appropriate at the time. Ingredients in life, and ingredients in food and drink as well.

If it tastes good, is alcoholic and too much makes you nose bleed (when you fall on your face) don't try to analyse it.

The most ridiculous tasting notes I've ever come across described a wine as having the taste of the feeling of someone who has just left the room.

I like Drambuie. I also like a really good bitter of about 5%. I wold kill for 18 yo Glenturret single malt.

PS - wot sort of pillock measures liquid by weight? By definition, ounces are a dry measure, for liquids you need a measure by volume - i.e. litres (or pints in old money)! Presumably these guys don't go to the corner-shop and ask for a pound of milk, so why measure alcoholic drinks in ounces? Makes no sense. LOL!

Bar optics used to be measured in fl.oz. I think the standard was 1/6th fl.oz. per shot. It is now some miniscule fraction of a litre.

Thank you for your clarification BI. Now we know what you do with your boyfriends, but is this before or after the whisky?

1) A shot, or jigger, is one-and-one-half fluid ounces. I'm very sorry to learn that the "English" system of measures has already been forgotten by English adults, and that we Americans have to carry on this archaic tradition by ourselves.

2) "The doctor got me on/
He got me on milk/
cream/
and alco-ho-o-o-ol"
-- John Lee Hooker, "Serve You Right to Suffer"

I'm sure that John Lee's song predates, and is probably consciously quoted by, Nick Lowe's. Hooker and Van Morrison once recorded a great duet version of "Serve You Right to Suffer."

3) Milk and alcohol isn't all *that* weird a combination. Consider the White Russian, Brandy Alexander,and that Mardi Gras Morning favorite, Brandy Milk Punch. I'm partial to Irish whiskey and milk (or half-and-half); especially since having my throat ravaged by invasive medical treatment, it's become difficult for me to knock back straight whiskey. I also recommend Irish plus coffee liqueur (Kahlua or generic equivalent) with milk -- same as a White Russian but substituting whiskey for vodka (or, you could think of it as Irish Coffee without the coffee).

In the film "The Great Lebowski," the title character has a serious White Russian habit, and refers to his drink of choice as a "Caucasian." Makes sense, since the word "Caucasian" refers both to the "white" "race" and to a mountain range near the southwestern border of Russian and well within the boundaries of the former Soviet Union. I've taken to calling my variation an "Irish Caucasian," but perhaps someone could suggest a better name.

Naah, the whiskey doesn't hurt the milk at all, just improves it.

Besides the milk-based drinks already mentioned, consider that seasonal favorite, egg nog. Booze + dairy = no problem. Also, pre-mixed cordials like Bailey's are made with whiskey and cream.

Now, I once met a man who drank *gin* and milk. Now, THAT's weird!
