Marekv8 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Glassware is inappropriate for this one. The "choice fruits" are a bit slim on the fractional bottle compared to the 750mL, but I guess the neck opening limits what they can pop in there.

Vosgar Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Wow! You're really on a roll today. I noticed that on the Sambuca it says there are certified colors added. Is clear considered a color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is clear considered a color? Yes, working alone at the office has its benefits. In regard to the Sambuca 72-- it's actually got a pale yellow cast, hence the color statement. I love that pack design-- makes me want to read Zap Comix nekkid with Patty Hearst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's family is Spanish and we have spent many a night in remote farmhouses in northern Spain (about 2 hours from Bilbao), drinking various things including this. The mere smell of this takes me back there. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirits are such a great conversation piece— I guess that’s why we’re all here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Wow! Tiddy’s. Go figure. “Once upon a time, at a lake far, far away......” As my screen name suggests, I am/was a fisherman. My first experience with what some friends kiddingly call “Titties” was on a fishing trip. On that trip, many stories were told by my fishing comrades about some of their snowmobiling adventures in northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Of course these stories involved the finishing of a number of bottles of Tiddy’s. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
