On a different note, adding a drink like Vodka to fresh fruit and leaving it for a while will blow the top of your skull off. I've tried peaches, oranges and even blueberries but the best one was with cherries.
I got some black cherries and slit them open with a crossed slit and soaked them in Vodka for about 3 months. The vodka was terrific with a cherry flavour but I'd warn anyone not to eat the cherries. I can't be certain but I'd guess the sugar content of the cherries ferments because, just a few of the cherries had my friend so drunk he couldn't walk 
Lol, yeah!!!
Buy big watermelon
Poke 3 holes in it with an apple corer
stick 3 bottles of vodka in watermelon
leave to soak for a day
.....
Cut watermelon wedges and pass out to friends.
Profit (or extremely drunken pool party)
Or you add 5 red peppers to a bottle of vodka and leave for a month. Nice in a hipflask to keep you warm :-)

As to mixing grain and malt whiskey: isn't this just done with the ultra cheap stuff that you CAN classify as swill? You know, plastic bottle with a nice scottish flag on it for the stupid tourists?
Christ.
I'm not a huge whisky drinker but I wouldn't even clean my bike engine with that ****e.

There's this AWFUL whiskey called Claymore whiskey, which is sold in plastic bottles. We used to drink at my frat because it's called claymore (the frat, AND the whiskey). Many hilarious nights we had in a Claymore fueled drunken stupor. Awesome. The headaches the next day were like having a 5 foot scottish sword embedded in your frontal lobe.

Thank you Askan for that post. I could not take the time to even come close to that earlier.
As for fruit and liquor, if you could ever get your hands on some good old Appalachian Shine and put that in your watermellon or fruit mix, do it. That will blow all your sockets out

An excellent guide there Askan, though might I add that blended whiskies are also often a mixture of both malt and grain whiskies - hence their relative cheapness and less smooth flavour.
Also, in the UK at least, the standard strength of a bottle is around 40%.
you could be right about the 40% mate. As to mixing grain and malt whiskey: isn't this just done with the ultra cheap stuff that you CAN classify as swill? You know, plastic bottle with a nice scottish flag on it for the stupid tourists? I didn't know that still happened? Walker, Dimple, Grouse etc are all malt blends right?
I'm pretty sure that all of the blends include at least some grain whisky - how else would they be cheaper than every single single malt?
EDIT - Wikipedia has the following to say:
Originally by: Wikipedia
Blended Scotch whisky constitutes over 90% of the whisky produced in Scotland. Blended Scotch whiskies generally contain 10û50% malt whisky, blended with grain whisky, with the higher quality brands having the highest percent malt. They were initially created for the English market, where pure malt whiskies were considered too harshly flavoured (the main two spirits consumed in England at the time being brandy in the upper classes, and gin in the lower ones). Master blenders combine the various malts and grain whiskies to produce a consistent "brand style". Blended whiskies frequently use the same name for a range of whiskies at wildly varying prices and (presumably) quality. Notable blended Scotch whisky brands include Dewar's, Johnnie Walker, Cutty Sark, J&B, The Famous Grouse, and Chivas Regal.

EDIT - Wikipedia has the following to say:
Yeah true, I actually didn't know that: this is why I like Eve-o forums :-) Nice. so I checked it out: Johnny walker red is half malt half grain, all the other walker blends are 100% malt.
grouse is also a mix of highland and grain whiskey.
Apart from using grain whiskey to make things cheaper there is age to consider as well. Most distilleries release their singles at nothing earlier than 8 years of aging, but you can call it scotch from 3 years up. I would surmise a lot of very young scotch goes into blends. Take into account that most single distilleries are owned by the big brands like diageo (noted exception aside of course.): that would also make the blends cheaper to produce.
Good catch though Rodj.

The whole lot of you are making me wish it were 6 months in the future so I could actually try this stuff. Boo, hiss, drinking age etc.
