The Guinness Spoon

This is my new pouring spoon (another gadget). I've seen them in bars for years and didn't know where to get one. Recently, I was online at www.guinness.com
and found out that I could purchase one there. Now, for those that have never seen such a gadget, this is how it works.


You start with a Guinness and another "beer" (actually you can use cider or champagne as well but I'll get to that later).


Pour the "lighter" beer between 2 glasses, and place the spoon (note the bend in said spoon) on the edge of a glass.


Pour the Guinness over the back of the spoon, so the Guinness "fans" out over the other beer and causes the Guinness to stay separate.


That is called a Black and Tan. These aren't the best I've made but I just got this spoon and it's a little different.

Guinness and Harp = Half and Half

Guinness and champagne = Black Velvet

Guinness and cider = Snakebite

This last part is for Apl, the Margarita's ingredients are Tequila, Corona, limeade concentrate, and Triple Sec (and ice) use a Coronita (small Corona) and equal parts limeade and Tequila and just a shot of Triple Sec.

The only drawback to these drinks is that you always have to make two.

That's why you need kegs of Guiness and Bass downstairs.

how is having two a drawback? The spoon would make a great xmas gift for Paul. Just a thought.

You gonna enter that Sam Adams beer contest? It'll make you rich!

Two is a draw back because Will pours me a beer without asking if I want one. He usually pours me one when I don't want one. I don't pour him a drink just because I want one and assume that he'll drink it.

Don't make us look at the spoon as long as we looked at the eyeball cake.
