It is shite and only drunks by women down here in Oz. Dark Rum and >50% alcohol and you're on the right track.

I've got my eye on a bottle of Stroh 80[^] from the bottle shop linked too. 25 days till the next birthday, I think some unsubtle hints might be in order.

Is that hint as in "Get us an elephant bottle or six of this elephant rum or I'll elephant the rest of the year for you elephants" subtle?.

I'm a couple of decades of Subtlety practice away from being half as subtle as that.

Oh, come on. You have perfectly good rum down in Bundaberg.
Stroh is only used for Feuerzangenbowle[^] or cleaning your bathroom.

But it's 80%^ alcohol, I have to try it. Showed the Missus last time we were at the bottlo and she wanted to get it cause it's 80%.

That's a valid reason.
I should probably still tell you that Cillit Bang is cheaper and does the same job.

What you should try though is to get a "Feuerzange" and a sugar loaf. It gives mulled wine a completely new dimension to it, actually being drinkable being the most important dimension. Especially if you spill the Stroh properly.

What did you expect ? Liquefied Christmas tree tastes like ... liquefied Christmas tree.

I hate the stuff. It as abominable as vermouth or Suze, but less than Martini ( well, gin + vermouth, how could it be worse ...)

of course it does. the word "gin" comes from juniper (Dutch "genever"), which is the little evergreen shrub that produces the berries which is gin's primary flavor.

and it's delicious!

Ever tried harvesting those berries? Like gin, that plant[^] have certain sting ...

It's also great for smoking fish ...

It's actually very close to that - Juniper is often used as a Christmas Tree. On a brighter note, no other liquor attacks the liver quite as aggressively, so drinking gin ensures that you won't have to endure that nasty flavor for very long. Big Grin | :-D

... Like this one[^].

A very stern and severe rant about racism in a tradition that's been around for, ooh, ages!

What the cretin (and his little cretinous buddies who've gone running to the UN) fail to take note of is that Zwarte Piet is WHITE!

He's a dirty little white boy who crawls up and down chimneys for Sinter Klaas, and never takes a shower, even before putting on brightly coloured clean clothes.

So sure, it's racist, but only in that it portrays white kids as having bad hygiene.
