richieb Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I could probably be there in time for brunch Martini's! Or what better way to utilize your vodka stash than brunch Bloody Mary's? And I'll bring the BBQ brisket burnt ends stuffed olives. Now Thats how you stuff an olive!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Please describe in detail burnt ends. How are they made and what exactly are they. In Texas we just smoke the brisket and eat the brisket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 25, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have. Without the tonic of course. Bombay Sapphire on the rocks. It rocks. Definitely not my favorite. That's the thing about gin. There's a wide variety of tastes. Vodka differences are more subtle once you get into the nicer stuff. As far as gin goes, I like Tanquery Ten and New Amsterdam. For Martini's I like, in this order of preference: Monkey 47 (German), Hendrick's and then Anchor. For Gin and tonics, I prefer Tang Rangpur.

richieb Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's kind of a Kansas City thing. Take the tips of a smoked brisket that have become overly smoked, heavily barked, burnt. Trim those from the heart of the brisket before slicing and serve. Great bark on the outside, moist and tender inside. Damn good eatin'.

I was proud to wear both this weekend. Long story about my nephew, but suffice it to say an amazing ride through a fantastic high school football career, that I was very closely connected to through my youngest brother, and the whole college recruiting fiasco, it is actually crazier and more intense than you can ever imagine… Edited May 25, 2016 by jimjimbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Bulleit Bourbon is also very good. Bulleit Rye is a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I once had a MD tell me if you insist on drinking drink Gin. The most filtered of the clear sprits. He didn't advocate heavy drinking but felt it was a slower death than the typical drinker will experience. Also, Silver Tequila... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 This is funny. I drink everything neat. Someone once poured me, what was supposed to be an excellent Gin - and it tasted like a pine forest - plain nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes way past KC, burnt ends are the part of a brisket people fight over, many smoke the brisket till done and cut off the end of the flat. Apply sauce and cook more until it just a hunk of great bark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 25, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2016 I cannot drink gin, when I was around 20 someone passed me a bottle and I took a big shot and will never forget it, tasted like chemicals to me, although it was probably the cheapest available.

oldtimer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 That explains the fascination with burnt ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 You really have to mix it to get it down without feeling like you're drinking something toxic. That disqualifies it as a quality spirit. I now have to go read about freaking trees. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
