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!

Yup, B&B in mine as well. I'm always happy to share. I keep the bottle in the car in the event I need to refill it.

If PA allowed flasks, which I'm pretty sure they don't, I han't seen ne'er a flask about the shire, I would most certainly fill it with a single malt, preferably Laphroaig or a good cigar malt.

A Money saving tip?

A friend told us that a bar she used to work in used a Britta water filter pitcher to run cheaper vodka through and were able to pass it off as a more expensive brand. It supposedly actually works, because it removes the impurities that are removed by extra step that is used by more expensive brands, and the filter can be uses multiple times.

-Thought it might be a money saving tip for the recession.

Don't think it would work for other booze. For other alcohols it would probably remove some of  the bits that add the flavor.

I saw this on Myth Busters. Apparently it works to a degree, but only on vodka.

Yeah, I mentioned it on my blog and someone told me they actually filtered it several times on Mythbusters to get it to work. Humbug.

I always carry a round, pewter flask in my sporran (pouch) filld with Macallan 12.  I also bring along a large pewter mug that I hang from my belt and occasionally have filled with what's good in the cask at the TX Ren Fest.

Tried an interesting concoction this past weekend dubbed Smithee's Apple Pie. "The taste of apple pie in a cup" with a kick, eh. A fine homemade remedy. 8)

Um, air. Because I haven't filled it yet.

But I'm getting good ideas!

I just realized that I have some scotch left in my flask from the Rabbie Burns Supper.
