In spite of the negative response to last week’s Happy Hour suggestion, I propose another bold spirit for our more adventurous Deadsplinters. To combat the invasive green crab population that devastates the New England coast, Tamworth Distilling in New Hampshire is producing Crab Trapper, a blend of bourbon, crab stock, and crab boil spices.
The taste has been described as a briny fireball. To borrow a line from @lemmykilmister, should you drink this? Sure… if you’ve been injured in a backwoods accident and need to be pass out drunk so your friends can amputate one of your limbs with a dull Swiss Army knife. Other than that it would be a hard NO for me. But maybe Lemmy will do a full review for us. Cheers!
Complicated spice mixtures in booze are almost always a big mess, so crab boil mix gets a no from me too.
But the mint I planted in an old toilet tank is starting to take off so it’s going to be a mojito summer for me, I think.
Toilet mojitos sounds like summer in prison!
atmo…i’d be up for trying anything
i ran out of happy
strong alcohol and me is dangerous mix tho……much safer to just give me drugs
I think we’re all a little low on happy these days. sigh But I hope you find some soon.
apreciate that and same to you
today was rough
@brightersideoflife I did a bit of that myself. It’s a good day to have a distraction.
I went down an internet rabbit hole learning about invasive green crabs thanks to your post, so thank you for that. I loved every second of it.
I was going to drink but there’s a Planned Parenthood Rally tonight in my city so drinkies after
IDK about a briny fireball but I’m gonna be drinking SOMETHING tonight.
I started early today, rye – no crab.
Oh, I’m drinking. If ever there was a day to drink, it’s today.
Troof
It is good be here with like in people.
It is. ❤️
You guys, my Meatspace friends, and Mom’s side of my family are what’s keeping me grounded & not just freaking out, ENTIRELY, about *everything* these motherfuckers are going to try to do to people’s rights in the next months-to-years!
Thanks for being YOU all, and being on the *Proper*(I REFUSE to say “right”!!!) side of History (and Humanity!)💖💝💗💫
