Liqour is RUBBISH. It's just a watery parsley sauce. Anyone who orders liquor as opposed to lovely lovely GRAVY on their pie and mash is a peon (no offence to my great friend who does but she is American and cannot justifiably be expected to know the noble troof of pies + mash + gravy innit).― Starry (hello chickens), Tuesday, October 5, 2004 9:16 AM (6 years ago)

The main dish sold is pie and mash; a minced beef pie and mashed potato served with a generous helping of liquor (a type of parsley sauce). Liquor has a green colour which is derived from the parsley(not alcohol).
This is some for-fuck's-sake bullshit, jjj.

it's some hipster moonshine fwiw xp
― Aerosol, Thursday, 17 March 2011 19:30 (thirteen years ago) link
This is is commonly called eel liquor sauce or liquor (although it is non-alcoholic) because it is traditionally made using the water kept from the preparation of the stewed eels.

it's probably harder to make good rum drinks than good gin/whiskey/tequila drinks, but it can be done and it pretty awesome.

oh yeah the Kraken is garbage but go down to Puerto Rico and be a joyless rumhater if you want, to me that's like going to Poland and ordering whiskey instead of vodka, the pleasure of drinks is often a matter of context

because it doesn't take months to years to barrel and eventually sell it. also it goes along w/the whole oldie timey pre prohibition/americana trendiness.
i've had a white manhattan and i wasn't super enthused. also the bartender at the bar they mention in the article was a total dickhole, so maybe it tainted what i thought about the drink.http://sfist.com/2010/05/07/sfist_drinks_the_white_manhattan_at.php

yeah i def get why it's being produced, less so why it's being consumed. i lurk on a bourbon board and listening to those guys go on about this stuff is fucking hilarious.
i was curious about that recipe! need the dolin blanc. also abt. n. white, i've seen a few of his drink recipes out there.

i always thought i didn't like rum either, but recently went to the fucking raddest tiki bar in sf called Smuggler's Cove. i thought tiki drinks were just totally sweet and nasty, but the bartender was great. i told him i usually drank whiskeys but i wanted to open my horizons and he made me a drink up on the spot w/rum. something he didnt even know what it was, but it was pretty great. he also steered me towards some more trad juice based tiki drinks that weren't too sweet and fucking fantastic. he was also a really nice guy and answered some of my noob home bartender questions and even steered me towards a really great tiki iphone app. totally recommended http://beachbumberry.com/tiki-app/
and the whole other thing w/rum and tiki bars is that you think the whole hawaiian shirts, pirate ship, lounge music theme is silly, but if you really think about it, so is prohibition stuff, dudes w/curly mustaches and vests or suspenders. it's all an act. disneylandish.

I inadvertently went through my twenties crossing clear liquors off a list of things I'd never be able to drink again, but there's got to be one that's different from the gins and vodkas and moonshines and clear tequilas that I could actually order. What is Ouzo? Is it good? Also, I've only ever had spiced/dark rum as far as I know. What's white rum like?

ouzo is gross imo. i prefer dark rum to white - but maybe i just havent had good white rum
― just sayin, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 03:34 (eight years ago) link
Ouzo is similar to arak and many other rather raw near-eastern anise-flavored liquors. It is not mellow stuff. It is traditionally drunk with water added, which turns it a milky color. I can't say it is worth a special trip just to drink some, but if you are in Greece and some is offered to you, try it. You might like it.
― Aimless, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 03:53 (eight years ago) link
yea if you like anise you will like ouzo
― marcos, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 03:55 (eight years ago) link
Oh, I just looked up what anise is. Can't imagine I'd be into it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 05:31 (eight years ago) link
If you have ever had Pastis, it is pretty similar. Ouzo is really refreshing with ice and water. It has a bad rep because tourists tend to pound shots of it.
