I like to drink it slow as I find I get more of the honey essence that way, and that is what I like. Some times I even roll it over my tongue a couple times to really savor it. Swallow, then breath out slowly through my mouth. It is kind of invigorating.

That got me really wanting to open a bottle of mead.

Hell! That got me wanting to open a bottle!
 
I usually just flip over the skull of one of my vanquished foes and drink from that.

I prefer to drink my mead like a Viking! Off of the thighs of supple Norse virgins :-)

Female virgins I hope. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

All fooling aside, it depends. I have several glasses depending on the occasion.

The horn is for fun. Or when I want to get wasted fast.

If I cook and want to serve at the table I use some large white wine glasses. I forget what kind. They are big and expensive from Riedel. They do make a big difference in being able to taste and smell all the nuances.

If I have a carbonated mead I use either a Belgian ale glass or a wooden beer stein I have.

The wooden one is my favorite for very cold beer or mead. I think the wood just makes everything taste better. I'm searching for wooden wine glasses to try that experiment as well.

That's the problem with the world today, no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore because nothing says "I kicked your ass" like drinking a fine elderberry melomel out of their empty head, hahahahahaha.

Humm, zapped. Not sure how that would be done. You have a picture to PM me?

Its quite simple really.

One of the many wonderful things about the female anatomy is that the inner thigh has a lovely divot just before it transitions into a much more intimate area.

After youre done drinking the mead, I highly recommend indulging ones sense of taste in, on and around the surrounding topography.

Now thats the breakfast of champions my friends! :drunken_smilie:

Alas FB, i sometimes enjoy paying homage to historical roots, and the middle ages (without all the disease, wwar, torture, and brutality. Guess its the "romantic" side of me)

Well I wouldn't say without the brutality. Two full drinking horns makes for a brutal hangover.
