I have mixed a new cocktail that I believe may be the very key to immortality, although I would prefer to call it Derby Sangria. Take one pint glass and fill it with solid frozen fruit such as pineapple, peaches, grapes or strawberries. Peaches work best, although all four at once is equally awesome. The fruit should definitely sit in the freezer for 24 hours prior to the mixing though. Pour three shots of your favorite whiskey into this frozen mess. OBVIOUSLY, your favorite whiskey should be form Kentucky (read: LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY). The Derby's coming up, dummy. Put what you have into the fridge again for fifteen to twenty minutes to let the whiskey cool with the fruit. Pull the glass out and fill the rest with gingerale. Stir or let sit before tasting. Now you have Derby Sangria. Don't drive heavy machinery or horses.

Did I hear fighting words?

Everybody knows (or soon will) that the Best Whiskey In The World comes from Portland, OR (Yeah, they're all buddies, so buy two cases, and tell your friends).

Where should the peaches be from, is California okay, or Argentina?

Oh, no, no... no fighting words. I think the recipe is more than flexible enough to accommodate your pathetic, so-called whiskey. That's the brilliance (in my mind) of a great cocktail. You could use the worst whiskey (say, from Oregon) and still have a delightful drink! No fighting words here. Enjoy your Oregon whiskey, I say. (You guys are, after all, pretty far away from the real stuff.) Make the drink with whatever swill you can get ahold of.
Neither of you can hold a bar to good old Scottish whiskey :P
Taqwa, I beg to differ! You really don't want to mess Scottish whiskey up with ginger-ale do you?
I am very offended. This is a hostile environment.

I moon you!
I see your Moon and Raise you...Oooo! I need some Kentucky Moonshine so I won't have to see that Sight again!
Dang, this is flexible enough that you could use just about any liquor and have a tasty (and potent) beverage. And it's healthy too, what with all that fruit. I'm going to start drinking this after working out at the gym!

I moon you!

Ahhhh! My eyeessss!
Those who can get it, know that Vernor's (the greatest of all ginger ales) goes great with rum, preferably Sailor Jerry. Mixing those two with frozen fruit would give you a damn tasty beverage. I'd call that an Angry Sailor's Sangria

I think I would try it with scotch. I don't like scotch unless it has ginger ale in it.

p.s. Nice arse!

Point taken. I'll keep the kilt where it is.

This is entirely correct. I'm sorry to have been such an uncouth individual to have not suggested this in the first place. Long live Vernor's!
