andy’s place…

Those that know me know that while I don’t spend much time in the bars and taverns around here, I do like a very well made drink in the evening (or whenever appropriate).  While out traveling, I love to find the great locations and great drinks to be had.  San Francisco taught me the value of Hangar One vodka (sorry Grey, you lose).  Kansas City had a couple decent whiskey bottles I’ve never seen since, and heck, even Sioux Falls has something once in a while that I haven’t had before.

And those that have been to my home know that I like to keep my home “bar” stocked with some of the better spirits that I can access and afford such as the Hangar One, Grand Marnier, Single Barrel Jack (hey, it’s better than the regular, and everyone needs Jack for a party), etc…  As much as some like beer, I like my spirits.  Scotch, gin, vodka, etc…  it’s welcome here.

Well, my brother decided that, as a thank you for helping him out this weekend with his office migration to their new setup, I needed a couple of new bottles for the collection.  So I now have a brandy addition, and a bottle of Patron Silver.

And being that I previously wasn’t much into tequila, I really don’t have any drinks in mind for it.  Of course, straight is welcome (although I need shot glasses for that, sounds like a SF shopping run) and the Margarita, when made well, is a great drink.  But what else?

And for brandy, any thoughts as well?

Don’t let me down here…  see if anyone earns awesome points
