Introduction - Page 2

Thanks SL600, I'll go into detail with the problems when I am not so sleepy. But, thanks!

does it means the we will lost our muse in mercedesforum because... no more SLK?

I certainly hope she still plans on coming back to visit us.

I'll still be hanging out here. Getting a lemon doesn't decrease my love for Mercedes!

I'm glad to hear you'll be around. You're wanted around here. How cool is that?

Speaking of lemons, we need to talk cocktails sometime.

Haha, what would you like to know about cocktails? One drink my friend and I invented...well, at least we think we invented it is...

1 part blackhaus
1 part OJ
1 part Cranberry Juice

shake over ice, strain into a shot glass. Viola...you have a sweet shot that'll get you nice n' toasty. I want to add Vodka into it the next time I make it and see how people like it. blackhaus and vodka aren't a bad combination...

I'm wanted! Wow...I feel 100% honored! Thanks!

I have no knowledge of cocktails. I've been a proponent throughout my life of not polluting my whiskey or vodka with anything but the ocassional ice cube. I'm willing to try some, though.

Oh, wait. Is a mimosa considered a cocktail? I have those for breakfast once in a while, but that's it.

What are some of your favorites?

What are the most popular where you work?

mmmmmmm...whiskey...

Well a Mimosa is a cocktail. 3 oz of champagne and 3 oz of OJ.

My favorites? I am a beer chick. I stick with Miller Lite. I like Washington Apples. And SoCo and lime juice. For my shots. Every once in awhile I will do a Peach Schnapps and Ginger Ale.

Here's how to make all 3.

Washington Apple:
1 oz Crown Royal
1oz Sour Apple Pucker
Splash of Cranberry Juice.

Shake over ice and strain into a shot glass. (preferrably a chilled shot glass.)

SoCo and Lime Juice:

1/4 Rosemont Lime Juice
3/4 Southern Comfort

Lime Juice first, top off with SoCo. To me, this goes down A LOT smoother when it's chilled. So shake it over ice and strain it into the shot glass.

Peach Schnapps and Ginger Ale:

2 oz. Peach Schnapps
4 oz. Ginger Ale.

Pour right over ice. Stir, and serve with a Marichino Cherry.

The most popular drinks at my bar, are bottled beers! For mixed drinks, it's usually Gin and Tonic, Rum and Coke, and every once in awhile a Manhatten or a dry Martini.

Patrick, if you like Whiskey, try the Glenlivet.

Dry Martini .......... mmmmm now you're getting ME thirsty :)

LOL


Hiya SLK320Chic

A "beer chick?" My favorite beer is Shiner Bock. My favorite chicks are beer chicks. Really. No, really.

I add a good splash of Grand Marnier or Triple Sec to mimosas. And some orange zest, too. One of those or a Bloody Mary with breakfast. Not real often though.

I used to have two-Manhattan power lunches when I worked in DC. That's until I figured out that's what was making me stupid in the afternoon.

I think I might try the WA Apples and SoCo, but with vodka instead. I'm not much of a fan of Canada or bourbon.

The Glenlivet is very good, but Bruichladdich and MacCallan are better and worth a try, IMHO.

Jim Beam.

Thats too bad about your car, If i were single i would buy you another one! I mean dam your great looking and you can change your own oil and have a great attitude thats hot! I have a few questions for you, How long did you own this car for? How many miles did you drive it, and lastly why did'nt you do a carfax befor picking the car up?? There may be a way out of it.....

kirlgt...haha, need a mistress? ;) Lets see, I owned the car from June 15th, 2005 to August 2nd or somewhere around there. It had 59k miles on it when I bought it, and 62k when I traded it in. I was an idiot and bought on impulse before doing a CarFax. I should have played it smart and did the CarFax. Which I had run on my new car. I also had my trusted mechanic take a look at it before I bought it. And had my father come out and drive it and look at it. Everything else, I took care of. I really wish I hadn't gotten rid of my old car for the Mercedes. I lost a ton of money. I also bought an extended warranty that was pretty much useless. So, I don't know if they can give me any sort of refund from that. I called 2 days too late to cancel the warranty all together.

Hi SL_600! Didn't mean to make you thirsty with the alcohol talk!

Lugnut...are you a bartender in disguise?! You seem to know your stuff! Or, you just have plenty of drinking experience to know all of it?! *snickers*

Patrick...you'd take Jim Beam over Jack Daniels?!

Hey, good to hear from you.

When I was younger, I used to tend local bars alot. Yeah, but I was on the other side than what you're thinking. On the "belly up" side. The problem is, I grew up in Utah where liquor-by-the-drink was and still is illegal. A person can order a cocktail with dinner or join a "private club" and get cocktails without dinner. Otherwise, the bars can only sell beer. I'm cocktailed-impaired as a result.

Hm, I have never heard that before. The deli that I work at currently just got approved for their liquor license, so we will be selling bottled beer by the pack or for eat in only. Hm, dunno!

I made out pretty good tonight at my bar. $74 in tips for 4 hours of work. Well, 3 1/2 hours of work. Not too shabby! Plus, my $6 an hour. $6 an hour is good for a bartender to make hourly...the usual is $2.83 an hour for servers/bartenders. Which, if you bartended, you would know. But just for everyone else to acknowledge...TIP YOUR SERVERS AND BARTENDERS WELL IN THE STATES! We work for our tips, not for our paychecks! I hope the next 2 days I am bartending are the same as today was. So, I just hope my hotel guests that came in today will be here for the rest of the week!

Alas, it's the Mormon scourge in Utah.

You're going to report and gladly pay taxes on all those tips, correct?

Bwahahaha, what do u think? ;)

Theres going to be a big AMG weekend on Oct. 8th in Montvale NJ at MBUSA headquarters. We will be caravanning from the DC area if you want to meet up with us on the way up let me know.

Oh really?! I'd love to attend it, but I no longer own the Mercedes. I have a Mazda now. :(

Oh, by the way Lugnut, here's a pic of my bar.

Cool. I need one just like that in my basement.

i'm thirsty.

but my black label is not among those spirits.

oh well, i'll take double jack daniel's whiskey.

Yeah, it's a real small quaint bar. I like it though. It's relaxing, and I meet tons of people from all over the world. You can't see it, but the bar itself is curved maple with a black marble top. The bar top is like the marble that's where the glasses and cone cups are sitting. Yeah, sorry sleepwalker! No black label. Only red.

Cozy. I like that. That's what a bar should be, not a loud circus with barkeeps juggling three or more bottles at a time and everyone yelling at each other trying to be heard above the din.

... and don't encourage sleepwalker by getting Black Label. I've been trying to get him to switch to a single malt. He should try one you mentioned earlier. The Glenlivet.
