It's a lot cheaper if you just make your own moonshine instead. Guy on reddit used to post pictures of his 100L water butt bubbling away, cost something stupidly low to fill it considering the volume, like £25 or something like that. Then he distilled it in batches.

The entire setup was comically simple too, like plug and play from parts you can easily buy and ingredients you find in any supermarket.

Isn't that kinda dangerous? Also potentially illegal depending on where you live.

It can make you blind due to high methanol concentrations

Enhanced flavor

Sure, but anything that involves drinking spirits by the pint is going to be dangerous so who cares?

Only illegal if they catch you. He didn't record his face.

That Tennessee Honey is one of my favorite whiskey drinks. However due to America being a total shit head, I can no longer buy it as I don't want any of my money going there.

Anybody got an idea of what a good European drink is to replace it with? I drink it straight or when I want something more mellow I mix with fake DrPepper or fake Red Bull.

Started making my own sloe gin last year, cheapest Aldi gin and then forage for sloes. Fill a large container about half way by volume with the berries and then fill to the top with gin. Seal, turn it to mix a few times and let it sit there for like 3-6 months. Taste and bottle with sugar, quantity depends on how sweet you want it but probably a few hundred g per litre.

Crown Royal is Canadian. 🤷 Not sure if it's available where you are though.

Weird, I just had to do this with $65 and ended up getting it to $62 as the total. For a family of 4 for 4 days. It was hard and not the best options, but it worked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

We all need to make sacrifices. They should have gotten a handle of whiskey and drink water.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I can confirm whiskey, coke, butter and a 12-pack of beers is all I need for the week.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yes. The unsalted version of that brand has silver packaging

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

I must say, the butter is the only one these I would actually buy. Even then, only if I was going to make toast or something. I use store brand butter for baking.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Add another 20 bucks for the two packs of cigarettes for the two days. How could you forget that?

Also, honey Jack? Yuck. Jim Beam all the way baby.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Look, I enjoy good butter, too, but are you cooking with it? You probably won't notice a difference if you switch to a generic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I dunno, that looks like the USA and their butter sucks, man. It's not even yellow, and they sell it in "sticks". I was so glad to find Kerrygold there.

That's decent stuff that I use on the regular.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Regular butter for cooking

Kerrygold salted for spreading

'tis the only way

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Do people really see kerrygold as a premium option? I haven't bought butter in a long time, but I always saw kerrygold as overpriced mass market shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kerrygold is good, but really good butter is on another level.

Lol, clearly you haven't been shopping at budget places in the US. The competition is Land O Lakes, "I can't believe it's not butter", or store brand.

Where are you buying your butter, and what brand?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Prolly is. But I haven't found much better at the stores around me.

Given the rest of the grocery list, I think it is unlikely that cooking will be involved.

The butter is to lube those cans before he slides them in the ol keaster.

Is the butter there to get the taste of the other three out of your mouth?

Ewwwww is that sugar free coke?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Technically most coke is “sugar free” in the strictest sense of table sugar versus corn syrup.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Gotta make up for all the sugar in the JD honey I guess

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Coke zero is decent

Diet coke is disgusting

Ditto Pepsi

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I hear this but I don't understand. All diet soft drinks taste absolutely disgusting to me. I've had both Coke Zero and Diet Coke and both have that disgusting fake sugar aftertaste.

I either get non-Diet soft drinks or I go flavored sparkling water. I can't do that fake sugar shit. It's nasty.

But the one exception for me is that I put fake sugar in my coffee. The bitter aftertaste of the coffee helps mask the aftertaste of the fake sugar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

ah man to me coke zero has this different flavor it almost tastes like black pepper or something? some kind of zip or zest. while diet coke is def the sweetest. regular coke now (after drinking diet soda for over a decade) or any corn syrup based soda leaves a weird aftertaste that i hate. but when i was younger i hated diet taste! haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I'm the opposite, I prefer diet Coke and diet Pepsi. Chances are that you don't like aspartame.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

pepsi max genuinely makes me want to vomit. i once only had the option to take a pepsi max at a KFC, took a few sips and felt so disgusted i didn't even want to eat anymore. threw it out, packed my food, and went to buy a coke on the way home

are my taste buds broken? or do people really like the flavour of what i can only describe as a 6 year old's bathroom potion of various chemicals, died black, sweetened, and carbonated

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I recently discovered that there is a similar taste reaction to aspartame than there is to cilantro. It doesn't taste like soap, but it tastes awful to some people. I can't drink any sugar-free or diet drinks as they all taste horrific to me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

dang! good to know

I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it's in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that's an indicator or not.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

does drinking things with sucralose make your mouth have an aftertaste like carbonated and sweet vomit? if yes then i think i have the same thing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's very distinct. I wouldn't call it vomit, but it's a lingering chemical-ey taste.

Looks like cherry coke zero.

Coke zero is the best one until you get alcohol involved, then you're fucking up if you're not using full fat coke

Though if the plan is to mix coke with that honey jack maybe the booze is sweet enough already

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I think the Jack D is for making bullet proof Jack D

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (5 children)

That stuff is so cloyingly sweet you'd have to mix it with water to approach something drinkable. A true alcoholic would have a handle of dewars white.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.

That stuff would be about $50 or less total in my area, but I wouldn't buy any of those but the butter.
