Let me tell you about a recipe I found on the net called "Reindeer Fucker" this is a mix of any strong spirit and ground weed, bud, stems whatever.
You 'marinate' this junk in your spirit (I used STROH 80) for as long as you can, I put it away since 2004 and broke it open again in 2007, but about six months is the least you should wait for the THC to seep into the liquor. Three shots of this will get you very stoned and trashed, but it is VILE to drink due to its strength. The Germans add a shot of STROH to Hot Chocolate at Xmas fairs, and this is the most agreeable way to drink it.
Up until I tried 'Heiser shokolade mitt schuss' I used to down my Reindeer fucker with cola, but its awful that way. It is called RF because it was invented by the good folks who do http://www.santacon.com/ which is a global phenomenon where fun seekers organise online to 'flash mob' a city for a whole day to party -usually about a week before Xmas, the only rules are that you must dress in a Santa theme, and sow good-will as you party.
I savour my own RF anytime of year I need my bells jingled. It took so long to marinate it and I only have about 250ml left. It has been fun, but next time I'll make cookies.

I have seen Stroh many times when in Austria. I have never tried it because my Austrian friends tell me it is used for cooking. Though many years ago a friend @ uni had a bottle of 80% Stroh, I know he got incredibly drunk but what I remember most is that he was in bed for about a week afterwards!

As to marinating my weed with alcohol - no thanks. While I enjoy a beer or a wee malt with a joint, the last thing I wanna do is get fucking blasted, dhream, those days are long over - which maybe is a good thing ...

Newcastle Brown Ale slightly chilled in a stemmed glass. And if I'm feeling particularly sophisticated I stick a cherry in it.

For those balmy summer evenings that we are all too familiar with here in the UK I sometimes like to partake of a Gin Fizz. The recipe is as follows:

2 parts Gin (Tanqueray or Booths)
Juice of a freshly squeezed Lime
2 tsp Caster Sugar
A scoop of Crushed Ice
Combine all the ingredients in a tall tumbler and fill to the brim with Soda Water and stir to ensure all the sugar has desolved.
Serve with a twist of Lime.

Tell me please, how does your gin cocktail taste, if you can? Only, I have never liked gin - it always smelt like perfume & taste like orange peel - boke!

As Bill Hicks used to say...

Alcohol is a necessary by product of fermentation , it's in many ways a pity it's there but it can't be removed without wrecking the drink. And good wine and beer are gifts from the gods.
Cigarettes are simply an expensive way of shortening your life span , aging more quickly and spoiling your food.Weed by the way contains significantly higher amounts of carcinogens than tobacco and causes many other problems.Being illegal unlike tobacco no firm user or usage data are available so nobody is sure about the scale of these problems.

no prob, knobby, each to their own - live & let live!

But you say and I quote, ' Weed by the way contains significantly higher amounts of carcinogens than tobacco and causes many other problems.'

I have no problems yet. and if/when I do, @ least I will know I had great pleasure gaining this 'illness' - cigarettes give you no pleasure what-so-ever. nothing. big Zero.

oops! Sorry, they make you smell bad to everyone else who doesn't smoke.

But that is still beside the point...

Whatever kills me is fine by me as long as something kills me. I don't wanna die of nothing.

People who die of nothing are fucked

Strangely enough Kiwi, the better and dryer the gin (Booths/Tanqueray) the less 'ginny' it tastes.

The reason this drink is perfect for summer is that it tastes primarily of sweet, sparking lime juice infused with a hint of alcohol. You get all the refreshment of a soft drink with the added bonus that it gets you pissed - a kind of alcopop but with better manners.

It's a great drink if you're ordering it in the cocktail bar of a swanky hotel or restaurant. However, if you ask for it in your local pub they tend to look at you like you're a bit kinky or something.

I suppose if you're not keen on the idea of gin you could always substitute it with vodka.
