For the liquor drinkers

[I. Hustle]

I am not sure how many of you know this but Costco has awesome prices on liquor. I am telling you now because this is the time when they have the gift sets. They cost the same as if you just bought the bottle but they come with cool stuff. For 45 bucks I got my 1.75 liter of Crown and with it I got a cool crown flask. It is stainless steel with the logo on it and it even has a cool purple cover with the logo on it. If you don’t want to drop that for 20 bucks you can get the smaller size with cool crown whiskey glasses. They have other gift sets too that come with badass stuff at no extra costs. I just thought I would spread the wealth before the holidays for those of you looking for gifts.
Plus you don’t have to be a member to get into the Costco liquor store.

My shit ass town only has a Sams

[SpursWoman]

I went to Sam's on my lunch break ... they were out of pumpkins. :(
























And my friend (the one I won't do any of her ex's) tipped me off on that a while back. I don't drink that much anymore ... but they have sometimes ridiculously low prices on liquor. :)

[I. Hustle]

Yeah I have been going there for about 2 years now and I always tell people about it to save some moolah. They have Gigantor bottles of tequila for like 30 bucks. May not be the top shelf stuff but they are good for mixers. Plus their pre mixed drinks are good. I thought they would be weak but I think they use more alcohol than I do.


Where is your town IFHY I mean B2B.

[leemajors]

they have shit selection for decent liquor. like 3 or 4 single malts, nothing stood out. if you're looking for crown, jack, beam or shitty tequila it's not bad i guess.

They bring in new stuff all the time. They sell good stuff all the time you just have to keep an eye out. I buy my Cabo Wabo there when they have it. It's 35 dollars there compared to over 55 everywhere else.

maybe the one where you live is different - in North Austin the selection is kinda weak, and the prices not really any better than Spec's or Grapevine.

No Patron I guess huh???:lol

[DisAsTerBot]

i used to work at the 281/1604 and the one in south austin..........the san antonio one has a better rotation of product.......scotch not sooo much, but they do have some good single malts (glen fiddich, macallan, glenlivet )...the top shelf tequila selection is usually pretty good and definitley cheaper than most non-sale prices at other liquor stores....

281/1604 There are other Costco's around too but I have never been to them so I am not sure if the rotation is the same

[CavsSuperFan]

I have found that Costco’s carry different stuff…I have to drive to a Costco in a nicer neighborhood to find better quality items…In Orange County CA there is a Costco that sells fishing boats, Mercury Outboard motors, Honda mowers, high end Bar Be Ques, expensive liquor and huge packages of filet mignon…

The Costco in my neighborhood carries Campbell’s soup, Spam, Tecate beer and cheap tequila…

[balli]

Mid shelf vodka i.e Goose, Three Olives, is as good as I'll ever go. Rail vodka is shitty, but why pay a premium price for a drink that tastes like rubbing alcohol. The whole point of vodka is distillation and the mid-range brands do more than good enough a job at delivering super distilled and clean vodka. I don't need to pay an extra 50-100 bucks to get already 99.999% pure vodka that's filtered four extra times.

You feel very smooth huh? A fresh shave will do that.

[leemajors]

Yeah it can be but they have a GREAT tequila selection. They better they are a tequila bar. I go and sample some new ones every now and again.

no, it's a frat bar.

[leemajors]

BB Rover's is ok, but the majority of their selection is bottled. FLying weak Sauce blows except for the skirts flying up outside. Ginger Man is ok, but the Draught House is where it's at. Best selection in Austin, easily.

[CuckingFunt]

Hey Goose is the only vodka I can stomach since I overdosed on Skyy and Smirrnoff Red when I was 22. I need to branch out and try some other. Any recommendations baseline?

Stolichnya, Ketel One, Level.

And Skyy 90 is actually pretty good, even though I don't like Skyy. I know people who either absolutely love or absolutely hate Belvedere, but I've never tried it.

[T Park]

belverdere is OK

Effen Vodka isn't too shabby either.

i believe belvedere is a rye. chopin is made by the same distillery i think, and is a potato vodka.

IMO a good potato vodka is Tito's made in Austin.

[CuckingFunt]

I went to someone's house recently and they had some weird Swedish vodka I'd never tried before, but it was surprisingly good. Svedka, maybe?

[I. Hustle]

I have had Svedka and it is good. I am not a big Vodka drinker though so my opinion doesn't count. I ejoy whiskey or tequila.

[ATRAIN]

no, it's a frat bar.

The one up north isnt. Its a older crowd and quiet.


BB Rover's is ok, but the majority of their selection is bottled. FLying weak Sauce blows except for the skirts flying up outside. Ginger Man is ok, but the Draught House is where it's at. Best selection in Austin, easily.

Yeah but I like 5 mins from Rovers. I go to the Draught House every chance I get.

Well yeah, everyone's next door at nxnw, which doesn't suck! I am a10 min bike ride from dh. Why the hell you live up by Spicewood if you work down south?

[baseline bum]

FUCK SHOOTING Cuervo!! I used to do that a long time ago and fuck no!! Cuervo is only good for cheap margaritas. Don Julio chilled.......yumm!!

Chilled tequila? :vomit:

Then again, I'm not a big margarita fan either. I like tequila much better at room temperature.


i've been on a tequila shakedown as of late and i'm trying to narrow down the best one. i've never tried don julio. i tried herradurra a long time ago and can't remember the taste. which one has the better anejo?

I'd pick Don Julio, but Herradurra's pretty smooth too.

[baseline bum]

Hey Goose is the only vodka I can stomach since I overdosed on Skyy and Smirrnoff Red when I was 22. I need to branch out and try some other. Any recommendations baseline? Don Julio is pretty awesome (my fav so far) and herradurra was pretty damn good too. I havent tried Don Julio Anejo yet but the herradura anejo was good. Do you guys have Iron Cactus in SA, Dallas?

I hate every vodka I've ever tried. I'm not a good person to ask on that. I really don't like any liquor other than tequila.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

If you're going to use vodka in a mixed drink, then odds are you won't be able to tell the difference between a low-end vodka and a premium vodka.

If you're going to drink it neat, then I recommend Jewel of Russia, Chopin or Belvedere.

Depends on the drink. I usually stick to well vodka if I'm getting something girly, like an apple martini or a cosmo, because those drinks are mixed with the specific intention of covering up the flavor of the vodka. If I have a martini or a vodka tonic (my two favorite drinks), however, I'm not going low-end. Especially considering that the way I like my martinis -- no olives, and only a hint of vermouth -- is basically drinking it neat in a prettier glass.

I dont work down south, I work up North. I havent worked down south in like 6 years. Ive only been to nxnw twice. It gets pretty packed in there. My friend used to like to go to Iron Cactus cause he could smoke in there and it was close to where we both lived. Since he moved I havent been there though.

If its good Tequila I like it room temp or chilled but if Im sipping chilled is the way to go IMO. Yeah same here DJ is the best for the price but yeah Herradurra's is smooth and a good Tequila. Im looking for something for new years.

Thats how I am too. I can drink other stuff if someone has something else at their house and I'm a guest. But when I a choice tequila is it for me. Drinking it chilled for me is tough. Drinking it cold is almost like taking a shot of cough syrup.

[ATRAIN]

Yeah it does have a funny taste to it. All my friends who tries it almost gag lol I guess I am just used to it or something.

LOL

Cough Syrup??? No way man, almost everyone I know has a bottle of good tequila in their fridge. Its the way to go and in no way does it feel like cough syrup.

Maybe it's because I am used to drinking it at room temperature. It just seems harder to get down for me when it's cold.

[SpursWoman]

I bought an itty-bitty bottle of Bailey's last night for a cake I was making and it was $15 ... for barely a cup! WTF???

Of course, this was from one of those liquor stores that you walk into and the cigarette smoke is so thick you can barely see the cashier. I guess they are just trying to support their habit. :spin
