i am not sure if there is a thread for this, but is there a list of good Kosher for Pesach alcohol?
its almost that time of the year,
thanks
Many brandys are good since they're made from fruits, such as plums dates pears etc.
The Louis rover mentioned is the only kosher congac that  aware of, which is made from grapes.
There is a bottle called Moses, made from dates, and don't forget the good 'ol slivovitz.

There are 3 different versions at 3 different prices, the priciest at almost $150.
What are u trying to point out? The first two tiers are more modestly priced, and I'm not such a buky to not be Abe to enjoy those

Anyone have info on beluga vodka? The gold line is probably the best vodka in the world but http://kosherliquorlist.com/en/beluga/567-beluga-gold-line-not-mehadrin.html
Why not Mehadrin?

If you have the opportunity to speak to him again, I'd be grateful if you could ask him why he disagrees with the Mishna Berura, or why he thinks this is different.
I just confirmed this psak with R Miller and he isn't arguing with the MB he is using the fact that it's only derabanan together with the fact that it's a Yisroel mumar (the whole reason it's assur is to dissuade people from doing it but that won't work for someone that doesn't feel bound by the Halacha) to allow it, the MB is not talking about a Yisroel mumar.

I got a hold of the teshuvah, the Torah is gevaldig. However he doesn't mention the yisroel mumar issue at all, and bottom line seems to say only shaas hadchak or hefsed merubah would be assur. Could be in person he's more meikel.

How does he rationalize in the teshuva why its considered min bemino?

I've been wanting to compile a list of safe bar drinks for a while.  What I have in my head so far :
Gin and tonic (my go to plane drink also)
Rum and coke
Paloma (tequila and Fresca) if they use a white tequila
Basic Screwdriver assuming the oj is kosher (minute maid or Tropicana from what I've heard )
Whiskey ginger
Amaretto ginger (as per Dan)
Would a mojito be ok if they have a special knife for fruits?

Anybody know a good place to get japanese whiskey?
I am looking for Hibiki 12 for under $100. Some places charge $125-$150, I found a place for $70 but sold out. 5 boroughs and long island are fair game.
