Those look tasty!

Ruination is a beer from our local San Diego brewery, Stone.

Yellowtail is from another local brewery, Ballast Point. They name all their beers after fish. Yellowtail wine actually sued them, and forced them to take Yellowtail off their beers, so now it is just Pale Ale, but I still call it Yellowtail. So boycott Yellowtail wine (WHINE)! :)
Pacifico is fizzy yellow Mexican beer. Earthquake is a drink with Absinthe and Cognac. Quite strong with no other ingredients.

Nice Luna - It's unlikely those beers will make it to the UK but I have the kit for the Earthquake & it sounds great!

2 questions:

Question 1: Any recommendations on the cognac?

I have low-rent Greek brandy (Macieira? Not bad for a Fish House Punch etc but isn't refined) & Remy Martin VSOP (which
I think of as the good stuff & am using in Champagne Classics).

Question 2: what the method? (Eg neat, chilled & stirred). I read a few recipes & they called for different methods.

You say 'brandy & absinthe', I think Sazerac :)

It's been too long...

I remember once upon a time thinking this was a complicated drink - now I think it's easy peasy... & delicious!
