Awesome. Please file a report on the experience. Before or after table is fine.

Probably going to gather up the missing ingredients this week and try it.
it is thoroughly awful. Prbably because I skimped on ingredients though

no champagne - white wine

no port - red wine

no brandy - calvados

home distilled rum

I think with the proper ingredients it would be a superior beverage

Oh yes, that sounds like a substitution disaster. The drink was ruined when you went with non-sparkling wine, for starters.

I keep telling you, you must stop drinking the gasoline for your own good. It's going to harm your health. You'll need a cleansing regimen now. 1L vodak, administered slowly but surely.
With the stuff I am intaking right now (500ml, canned paderborner full force joy) you could rev up your average engine a good 100 horsepowers. Make it 120 with a proper vodka fine-tuning. That would be a full 10 drunkpowers

It made booznik laugh so I`ll share:

Bahahahaha. Ah well, quickie marts are all the same. They'll just take another one off the shelf, unwrap it, and install it in the same location. They'll be open again soon.

Drunk, you say? This serious condition requires beer to rehydrate your liver!

So what am I drinking right now? I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but when I discovered Steel Reserve has actually done an alcopop, I had to try it. "BLK BERRY" it says, and it's 8.0%. Well, so much for the classy Sunday drunk I was planning. With all the sugar, my pancreas may explode before the liver has a chance to. I'll have to balance this out with something else later. Tequila has restorative properties.

If you take it down with some self-esteem and can still look in a mirror and smile it has a lot of class. Bukowski style.
Drink!

The clear spirits are not without it's share of fermentation bi products they call cogeners which is what give you hangovers that are basically allergic reactions to these unnatural compounds. Drinking anything less than clear like whiskey, rum or god forbid wine you are more than doubling the amount of cogeners. But who cares when you are rollin' down that highway and don't call me a racist.
There is some evidence that more congeners = worse hangover, but they're far from the main cause. Ethyl is the main cause. I've never had any problem with mixing spirits either. Hell, if you switch from rum to gin, you're getting less congeners total than if you switch to brandy. What it comes down to is how much Ethyl you consume in what space of time, and how much you hydrate during and after.

I never put any stock in the beer before liquor proverb either. It's all about the amount consumed. Personally, I do the beer with the liquor.

That said, everyone has their own set of reactions to things, so cheers. When it comes to what works for you, there is no wrong answer.
Yes, know Ethyl very well. I pump her regularly.

What? I know that look...
Found myself in the Matrix and took the red pill. Now I want the blue pill and my bottle and leave me alone.

We ran out of bourbon, so Grumpy went to his cave. But I said, Hey! we have things like rum and vodka and fancy liqueurs and I dunno. So I entered the secondary pantry, to get some rum, and woops! Two bottles of bourbon that I forgot about, on account of there was one of those sales at our local grocery, where if you bought three of one, you basically got one free. So... weeeeeeeee
I got rhythm, I got music, I got bourbon, who could ask for anything more?

Destination, Brandy. Full speed ahead. Yeah, that was a better choice coming from rum than gin. The transition is smooth and gentle.

Last night, I spilled a measure of this all over my computer desk. Despite cleanup on Aisle 3, this morning, I'm awash in delicious sweet brandy whiskey-barrel fumes.

I can live with that.
