Its not like you're gonna WASTE 4 handles of EC..... It mixes with anything/everything --- you just have to learn to pour 1/2 oz per drink instead of 1 oz..... otherwise the nights get REALLY short.....

And cutting it 50:50 with water basically made it a 100 proof vodka.

Get off your high horse.


You do you.
Not quite sure how to take the high horse comment, but I’ll assume you’re smiling whilst typing it.
You know I love good whiskey. Can’t see any reason just to drink pure alcohol.
But like I said, you do you. I’ll pass on that.

I’m not up on mead, but with beer, generally you can add citrus peels to the end of the boil, to get the oils, or sometimes the zest after boil.


As far as DGM, I don’t get the high horse reference.

He posts in the “what did you drink today” thread…it’s what he drank, and he has an educated palate, and pays the prices to satisfy that palate.

One can always ignore his posts…

I meant no offense by the high horse statement.... I should have put an emoji in there..... :bigsmile:
I should have typed 'Don't judge me!!!' instead..... :wink05:

Yes - it was a reference to your exquisite tastes in bourbons :thumbsup2:

EC brings back memories of 'Trash Can Parties' we would have in college..... everyone would bring a bottle and mixer and add it in.... Someone would ALWAYS bring a bottle of EC and sneak it in with no one looking..... Good times!

Honestly --- people pay big bucks for triple+++ distilled vodka that basically has NO flavor..... Thats pretty much what EC is.... cut it back to 100 proof and you really wouldn't know the difference.
And no --- you don't drink 190 EC straight up..... unless its a dare.

:thumbsup2:

Plan B is actually repeating Plan A.... it just involves much more alcohol.

Of the ten voices I hear in my head, only three keep telling me NOT to shoot....
Do I go with the majority or common sense?

I knew it. :wink05:

Tell you what, next time we have a WaGuns BBQ or get-together, I'll bring some top shelf stuff and you bring the EC and we'll make a real party of it! :thumbsup2: :bigsmile:

My dad and brother John used to make this stuff. They made wines, beer, and hard cider to.

One time in my teens my dad was fermenting cider. He had a strainer on top. I got into it before the process was finished. It made me sick. I puked all over the place and the next day he bitched me out. He told me to ask first if I wanted some and to make sure its done. I never got into it again. :rofl9:
