Speaking of mead. My good friend Vi-King and I make home made mead for TRF every year. I'll be there this weekend and though I don't drink mead, I usually have a boda bad of it on me for "medicinal purposes" as well. Say hello to me at the Prince of Wales at noon and I'll let you have a taste. It's QUITE good. We usually add a hint of peach or apple to spice it up.

I like mead ... I don't suppose you'll be there next weekend!?   ;D

My favorite mix is "nuts and berries" ... a mix of half Chambourg and half Frangelica.  I'm debating if I want to pack some in my suitcase for the trip (probably asking for trouble) or mix some when I get there.  Hmmm.

I don't carry a flask, but if I did, it'd be Laphroaig or Caol Isla

Flask Number one- Butterrum Loki
Flask Number two- Lokiberry Loki
Flask Number three- Almond Loki
Flask Number four- Cinnamon Loki

Yes I do carry four flasks on me in faire on pretty much any day. I love to share!
When you see my belt with all those pouches hanging from it... now you know why

*And there is also a fifth of rum in the boda bag that comes in with me to. The flavor depends on the mood of the day, currently it is parrot bay coconut (Thanks Tommy!)*
*Got more Rum?* "Here, Try This!"

Ahh, my favorite, on a cold day (ask Greg at TRF about this one) is B & B (Benedictine and Brandy) when it has been "bodice-warmed" all day by my wife.  Mmm, nothing like it!

I carry a good Scotch normally one of the Glenmorangie. 

Did once have someone ask what kind of wine I have in my flask me standing there in a kilt being accuses of carrying wine in me flask.  Good think the King's glove was up or I would have had to challenge over an insult like that.

Since the past few years at KC and St. L have almost all been all warm all the time, I like to either put some cold Buttershots in, or rum punch (based on the recipe we had at PyrateCon...mmmmMMMMM).  But we usually just bring in our own green apple cider for the mugs, too, and that hits the spot nicely!

My favorite potion is a mixture of Licor 43 and Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay coconut rum.


Hmm, I like them both! What proportions do you use? 50/50?

Personally I have one of those glass lightbulb bottles in a worked leather holder that's usually filled with vanilla rum for mixing with soft drinks. I also have a larger belt hung bottle holder that's been known to contain various vintages of loki in a decoratively shaped bottle.

A lot of people at events carry their secret survivor drink around in various containers disguised as an innocent accoutrement to their garb.

I had a small metal Celtic flask (sadly it got a puncture hole somehow and became useless) that I put my favorite drink in, Rootbeer Schnapps. (I'm looking for a new one if someone knows of where the Celtic metal flasks are for sale on-line, let me know!)
BTW- If you haven't tried it, do so - really good!

So what is your secret potion to carry around with you?



I just got the latest Gaelstorm catalog, and they have a celtic flask in it.
