The Teetotaler

Post by Artful Drunktective »

The Teetotaler (oh, such sweet irony) - in lieu of the anniversary of the ending of Prohibition on December 5th, 1933.

What a retarded fcking time in history that was.

I think I'd like this. A whisky highball but with some of that gingerbeer.

I used to buy a lot of gingerbeer for Moscow Mules, but, I loved the taste of gingerbeer so much I started drinking my mixer neat!

Now I don't buy gingerbeer in case I get addicted to drinking straight mixer again.

So, it's trying to cut the sweet with the club soda? Sounds okay. I'll try it sometime.

It's "tee-totaler" and it's because an early Prohibitionist had a stutter and demanded "t-t-t-total abstinence" which caused him to be mocked as a tee-totaler.

That drink looks like weak tea....

I'd go 3 parts bourbon, 1 part ginger beer and 1 part club soda, but i guess that's me.
