First place that I worked had a chart on the wall amongst many other posters - it was a drawing of a typical 1 litre wine/spirits bottle, with marked graduations. It gave no timescale so far as I recall, unfortunately, but it was obviously based over a very few hours, and I cannot remember the specific labels that attached to the graduations, but it went something like - relaxed feeling, loss of inhibition, loss of coordination, and so on, I am sure you get the gist. Before the top of the bottle, was something like 90% chance of death.

Some people clearly ran things close in earlier life.

This was 40 years ago, but it probably exists on the www somewhere.

All I can add to this discussion is...

Slivovitz.

 

[gintonic]

Slivovitz.

60ml Slivovitz
10ml dry vermouth
5ml of sugar syrup (or to taste - no more that 10ml!)

half a plum peeled, stoned, and choped.

gently crush the plum in the bottom of a cocktail shaker (use a muddler if you have one if not a fork against the side of the shaker). Add all the remaining ingredients, ice and shake. Strain (tea strainer - it needs to be fine) and serve in a martini glass.

another thought - i wonder if you could replace the Cognac in a Sidecar, with Slivovitz?

Negroni

Equal measures (40ml) of Gin (pref something with good orange botanicals), Campari, and Sweet Red Vermouth. Stir and serve with a large single ice (here i am using my big ball)

I find the Campari overwhelming in those proportions and use less. I like Campari too, best with soda or tonic imo.

I was given Slivowitz by some Czech climbers I met on the top of some all or other in Switzerland. It was about 9 am. After handshakes all round I set off back down with a healthy glow on.

Campari and Soda is great. I often have my Negronis; 50 Gin 40 Campari, 30 Vermouth


now a Martinez

60 old tom
7.5 dry vermouth
22.5 sweet vermouth
7.5 Maraschino
dash Angustura

stir over ice and strain into chilled glass (needs a coupe glass really - we've broken all ours)

 

[Arkless Electronics]

Take one pint glass. Fill to line with a quality real ale. Serving suggestions: Goes well with tabs, dry roast nuts or pork scratchings.

[blossomchris]

that's it back to beer after that lot.....

Great minds, started with very dry sherry, followed by an Englist Brut rose, and a Languedoc white. Now on a gf Stud blonde beer (added beer for clarification)
