    Better with Jameson's in my view. Not a fan of Scot's Whiskey.

    Thanks, Sus. I knew that recipe by heart. It's a damn fine drink.

    I was a bit maudlin last night in that other thread. Not only did I just have the anniversary of my 'Nam arrival but another FAC passed away recently. On top of everything else these days, Agent Orange is still killing some of us. Again, I apologize for my maundering.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I tried one once but I really didn't care for it. I like scotch but I like it neat.

    Drambuie is Scotch-based so it's a natural for Scotch cocktails. The Rusty Nail seems to work best with the less smoky/peaty Scotch varieties. It is great with a "highland" style blended Scotch like Famous Grouse or Dewar's, for example. A Rusty Nail is a nice "whiskey and cigars" drink for after a late dinner or as a nightcap.

    I have less fond memories of the Mike FAC unit drink, which came about very much unintentionally. We at one point drank the bar dry (ponder that for a moment) of everything except Scotch and root beer. Trust me, Scotch and root beer is not a lip-smacking delicious drink, but it served as an initiation of sorts for FNGs.

    A year after I came home, a largish box arrived at my door. It contained a bottle of Scotch and a sixer of root beer. I never did find out who sent it.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    That was hilarious reading in your book. I will only imagine and never try that formula.

    Sounds like a tasty beverage.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Thanks for rotating the pic, with my fused neck I could not get my eyeballs cranked around sideways enough to read it! 😜
