So what kind of alcoholic beverages do you guys prefer?

Presidente Margaritas at Chili's is pretty good

You and margaritas... well I guess it's like me and rum and coke, but still

Does nobody drink cider around here? Mmm, apples.

i drink old rosie if the pub im at has it. love that shit.

Hmm, never heard of a cider you drink at room temperature, but I guess that's an English thing.

I normally find scrumpy unpalatable. But there's one brand, Old Mout, that makes a scrumpy that isn't overpoweringly dry. Old Mout mix their ciders with all sorts of fruit wines. Last I tried was cranberry cider from them. It comes in a 1.5lt PET bottle - all class - for NZ$8-10 (~USD7.31/GBP4.54).

This brings up the question of how that price compares elsewhere, but I think I'll start a thread in The Mess Hall for that.

Asprin you should try Boundary Road Brewery's Grizzly Beer it is tasty as fuck.

I've tried 5% ginger beers from Harrington's (Chch) and Stone's (South Australia). They were both disgusting. But I'm always looking for a good ginger beer or ginger infused beer and this sounds promising. I'll get it next time I'm at the supermarket. Chur James.

I'm not really a cider person in general, but honest to god, old rosie tastes like straight up apple juice. It's dangerous stuff, very easy to go overboard on.

As for scrumpy vs normal...scrumpy all the way. I wouldn't ever drink normal cider tbh. Kopperburg is ok. Cider just reminds me of cheap drink at the local park, sat on a bench.
As fun as that was, I don't want to drink shit like that ever again.

Ideally I'd drink good stouts and porters, The Macellen 12 year, Booker's Bourbon, and Henricks Gin. Though I do love Broker's (mainly because the bottle wears a fucking hat), I haven't been able to find it around here. Founder's Breakfast Stout is easily my favorite beer. It's far from top shelf, but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Wild Turkey 101.



In reality I'm a piss poor drunk. As a result, you'll usually see me drinking Old Crowe or Ten High (if I have to settle) for bourbon, Seagram's or Burnette's for gin, and Hamm's for beer. I loathe vodka, can't afford tequila I don't hate, and the only rum I really like anymore is Sailor. One of my favorite things to do when ordering at a bar is to ask for the "dirtiest welliest whiskey and water" they've got. Bartender's usually get a chuckle out of it.

Of course, this is all assuming that I'm paying for it. If you put a drink in front of me, I'll drink it.

Kahlua and Milk.

I like cider, but I hardly spring the extra buck for better beers.

Vodka and Cranberry Juice. I feel like my grandmother when I drink it, but I like CJ enough without the added kick to it, can easily drink a gallon in a day. Handle of some vodka, and a gallon of CJ will keep me drunk from morning til night.

I've got work in an hour and half, so I should probably smash another Bloody Mary to make sure I can function.


Any BM fans? What does your recipe look like?

Bloody Marys are disgusting. Almost as bad as that tomato juice and beer crap.
