What are you drinking? - "Someone is bringing you ice?"

I might crack on with some G&T next as I'm on my last glass of wine and it's nearly finito!
 
My ice has run out again :( I need to get a handle on the ice thing. My hosts in Spain had a freezer which filled your glass with crushed ice, was perfect for the caipirinhas we were drinking.
 
Caipirinhas are one of the most tasty drinks on this planet, were you making them properly with cachaça though? They usually get made with vodka over here and it's not the same, the cachaça makes a BIG difference.
 
Yes, we used cachaça and I bought a couple of bottles as a present for the people I was staying with. It's fucking cheap! 10 euros a bottle for a tasty 39% spirit.

My pal considers himself a bit of a Caipririnha connoisseur, hence our cocktail correctness.
 
Didn't realise it was so popular in Spain, it's a Brazilian thing. The Brazilian bird I was shagging brought me over a bottle of proper premium stuff last year when she visited that was so good you weren't supposed to insult it by mixing it into caipirinhas. Essentially like a malt whisky, just drink it straight up but I couldn't appreciate it. Caipirinha or nothing for me.

My connoisseur pal is a London Scottish who's about to move to Barcelona. I don't know how popular the cachaça is in Spain but they do have it in their supermarkets, I bought the last two bottles in the shop too so presumably it sells well.

Never tried it straight, couldn't really tell you what it tastes like! The bottle was wrapped in wanky wicker/straw or something though, was it like that in Brazil?

EDIT Sounds like we were drinking the "industrial" cachaça...
 
Just saw this on Wiki...

The word caipirinha is the diminutive version of the word caipira, which refers to someone from the countryside, being an almost exact equivalent of the American English hillbilly or the Lowland Scots teuchter. The word may be used as either a masculine or a feminine noun, but when referring to this drink it is only feminine (usage of diminutives is common in Brazil). In the Brazilian vocabulary, the word caipirinha is mostly associated with the drink itself rather than the class of person.

Nah most of the stuff served in caipirinhas in Brazil is the cheap as fuck 'industrial' stuff that costs about £3 for a litre bottle in supermarkets. It's scarily cheap but mix it in with some crushed ice and fresh limes and a teaspoon of sugar and fuck me that shit tastes good. Blows your fucking head off though. I've never been able to replicate the taste over here even with the cachaça, always ends up too bitter from the limes, too strong or too sugary. :\
 
I'm drinking a Gordons and tonic with a slice of lemon. This stuff is 10x better than Bombay Sapphire and Beefeater. Not as good as sloe gin though!

^ sloe gin is the nectar of the gods. I wish i had some, or any spirit really, rather than my classy can of skol super. Bad times..
 
edit: re spadeginpost: Do you reckon? I'm quite keen on Bombay Sapphire. Have you tried Plymouth? They made the bottle substantially less cool a couple of years ago, looks like lidl vodka now whereas it used to have a nice boat on the label, but it's very tasty. I've just randomly remembered that I bought a bottle on the way home from work on 9/11 and glugged most of it sitting in front of endless reruns of the WTC coming down.
 
Nah jancrow, not tried it. Not really a gin drinker just occasionally drink some if it's offered to me but Gordons has been the best I've tasted apart from sloe gin which is amazing.
