That Tennessee Honey is one of my favorite whiskey drinks. However due to America being a total shit head, I can no longer buy it as I don’t want any of my money going there.
Anybody got an idea of what a good European drink is to replace it with? I drink it straight or when I want something more mellow I mix with fake DrPepper or fake Red Bull.
Started making my own sloe gin last year, cheapest Aldi gin and then forage for sloes. Fill a large container about half way by volume with the berries and then fill to the top with gin. Seal, turn it to mix a few times and let it sit there for like 3-6 months. Taste and bottle with sugar, quantity depends on how sweet you want it but probably a few hundred g per litre.
It’s a bit early in the year to forage for sloe berries. I picked so much when they were in season that I had pretty much filled a freezer shelf. Buying enough gin at once for all that would cost pushing 3 figures. Even at Aldi prices. But at least it should be comfortably over a years supply of berries so that I can restock when they are in season again.
Building my stockpile of gin so that I can ideally have bottles in rotation, plus it would let the gin age for longer if I have more than a years supply at once. I mean it is gin, it’s not like you go through bottles of it each night.

Drambuie is an old British honey and whisky liqueur.
You can even make something like it youself: https://www.seriouseats.com/diy-drambuie-make-your-own-honey-scotch-liqueur-recipe
Also you can make a Rusty Nail with some ice and a well Scotch.

Crown Royal is Canadian. 🤷 Not sure if it’s available where you are though.
Thanks, I’ll look out for that. Seems like the plain whiskey is available just fine, but the honey stuff is harder to find.
Pretty sure Red Bull is Austrian fwiw.
Anyway, there are lots of Irish, Scottish, English whiskeys. Don’t know about honey flavored ones
Yeah I’m having trouble finding the Honey flavored stuff.
I use fake Red Bull because I think it’s overpriced, not because it’s not American.
Oh I feel you, I too think it’s overpriced, also I think it tastes like shit.
Have you tried Stag’s Breath Honey and Whisky Liqueur?
I’m sure there are others. Though liquor laws sometimes stiffle innovation so America tends to have more weird experiments of flavor.
