So you're at a poker game, and someone starts mixing orange soda with your single malt Scotch...

This.

What if they start chugging from the bottle? You ok with that as well?

well, no. generally, I don't set out a bottle for ONE person but rather the group. Mix it, do whatever you want, but don't take away the rest of the groups opportunity to drink it

Nope, don't put your mouth on a bottle (common sense + social etiquette FTW). Pour it in a cup and consume however you please.

It's alcohol, the bottle sterilizes itself.

 

[Jumpem]

Forget the alcohol, and just ask for a glass of orange soda.

If he was a friend of mine, I'd thump him on the skull. If he's only an acquaintance, then I'd show him where the mixing whiskey is.

What if I ask stupid "what if" questions?

If you're offering your guest a drink, it's up to them how they would like it. Not you. As far as I know no one here is the annointed police of good taste.

Some things are just not done. You don't fuck your brother's wife and you don't put fucking orange soda in a glass of single malt.

It was kind of like a few weekends ago when my fiancee and I decided to cook dinner for her parents for their anniversary. I bought 12oz grass fed organic filets (which are like $40 a pound, and taste absolutely incredible). The SO and I had ours medium rare. The soon to be inlaws had them well done, and no sooner were they on the plate did a bottle of ketchup come out.

It still bothers me to this day.

But to make this an apples to apples comparison you're brother would have to be offering up his wife to anyone at the table

12oz is a good portion size on a filet since there is no bone or fat. There were 6 cooked for 4 people, but we ended up just having one each (since I made a chilean sea-bass over mixed greens with mango-apple dressing for an appetizer)

I'm just taking the piss.

Did they put ranch dressing on your salad?

 

[IronWing]

Once food/drink lands in my cup or on my plate, it's mine to consume as I see fit. Out of politeness to the host/cook I will at least try it their way but it's mine so back off. Besides, scotch tastes like crap anyway. The only reason to drink it is to get drunk. If orange soda helps that process, fine.

That sounds good! Was the mango-apple dressing a bit sweet?

 

[nageov3t]

kindly point out that if you're going to mix it, use the cheap stuff please.

So take something you do like. If your going to be fussy you should look after yourself.

Salsa:
Salsa (for 2 people):
1 mango (pulled apart and diced)
1 red delicious apple (diced)
1 squeezed lemon
1 squeezed orange
2 tbs brown sugar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tsp blackening spice
Vegetable oil to desired consistency

Blackening Spice:
1 tbsp. sweet paprika
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1.5 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried oregano


Directions:

Coat sea-bass liberally with blackening spice
Make a square bowl out of foil and place fish skin-side down
Coat edges and around fish with salsa

Cook on grill until fish is done (medium rare is best)

Serve over fresh greens, and add extra salsa for dressing.

Enjoy! I created that one about 2 months ago.

Cheers that sounds good.

I may cut down on the sweetness though, I think Americans and Euros may have calibrated their palates differently.

call them out on it, but you can be polite when you do it

There is nothing to call them out on. The person likes scotch and orange soda.

The sweetness is complemented well by the spiciness of the blackening seasoning. Likewise, the Worcestershire sauce and lemon add a bit of bitterness to the mix.

All combined, the flavors mix together rather well, and neither the sweetness, spiciness, or bitterness overwhelms the other.
