Thread: So what kind of alcoholic beverages do you guys prefer?

This past year, me and my friends really started branching out and trying all kinds of different drinks, trying to find a replacement for beer and whiskey and coke.

We started with scotch, and different kinds of ways to drink it. Straight, on the rocks, club soda, etc...

After many nights of intoxication, I found my new drink of choice for the indefinite future.

Gin. Namely Bombay Sapphire. I prefer it with Club Soda and Lime, but will also drink it on the rocks with a lime wedge or two. Tanqueray is my backup Gin, but Ive never really HAD to get it since Sapphire is easy to find.

I picked up some Tanquery No. 10 last weekend, and just finished it off. It was a good bit more expensive than a 5th of Sapphire or regular Tanq, but its really good shit.

So what kind of spirits do you prefer?

marijuana

Seeing as its the festive season, sloe gin over ice is my warmer of choice.

Port is always good, if a little old fashioned, but I'm a trend setter, y'know?

Before they ballsed it up over here, Sailor Jerry and coke was sex in a glass. We had a different recipe to the american version, but now theyre both the same recipe and it just tastes a bit generic. If you guys had tasted our original, you would understand the fuss.

Jameson and Ginger ale for a night in a pub with a fire.

but mainly beer. I like proper continental lagers, good real ale and anything a bit odd. my favourite beer of all time is BrewDogs Tokyo. amazing stuff, but not cheap.

rye and ginger is my go to drink

Vodka is my drink. I can just put it with anything. An energy drink, soda, orange juice, milk, tomato juice, any fruity mix (cran, peach, pineapple), iced tea.

I've pretty much spent most of my drinking career on whiskey and rum and trying other drinks and shots here and there, but right now I'm really liking vodka. I might be drunk because in the trunk of my car I carry a to-go bag with extra clothes and toiletries as well as various bottles of alcohol and mixers.

When I'm just looking to idle with friends I'll try all the microbrews I can.

I drink beer, vodka, or rum

The liquor I usually drink with Coke or Crystal Light

gin & ginger is a classic simple drink that kicks ass
you can make your own ginger ale at home too its really easy and you can make the strength of it to taste

We make ginger ale all the time at work. Ill have to look into that.

I tried some sloe gin a while back, and it was disgusting. Tasted like cough syrup. And the stuffs only 15% alcohol compared to Sapphire which is 47%.

And as for beers, one of my buddys always has a keg of some beer he brewed at the house, so we always drink that. The last one he made was almost going to get scrapped because he ordered the wrong grains for it, and it only came out like 2% alcohol and didnt taste that great, but he put 6 lbs of honey in it, and it came out tasting great, and it bumped the alcohol content up to almost 10%. I drank 3 tall pilsler glasses of it was was buzzing my ass off. Then a few gin drinks and I was done.

you arent drinking the right sloe gin

Ginger beer tastes like ginger ale. as the name would imply... except it's usually spicier and more gingery. I love it.

I would say I'm an "eclectic drinker," but you would probably say I have no taste.

I have to say that in the past I didn't like whiskey, as it tasted like what I would imagine floor cleaner might taste like. But recently I had a variation on a Manhattan, and surprisingly I did appreciate its extreme bitterness. I still shy away from diluted horse-piss pale lager.

The mojito is not a girl's drink, goddamn it. It's rare to find a good one, however.

Yeah I enjoy microbrews too.

I'd give anything for a selection of American Microbrews.

The UK brewing industry is dominated by weak, flat ale. There are good ones, but are usually pretty uniform.

I will give credits to anyone who sends me a selection

This is just the stuff we have at work, its definetly not the best quality. But it was sloe gin.

I also noticed you didnt correct me on the cough syrup part. lmao

cough syrup also happens to be a winter warmer of choice

canada does it better

5 credits per bottle sent to my door

So one perks of working in a bar is I can make any drink and try it out. Tonight I made some Sapphire and ginger ale. Didn't care for it. I also made a dry martini with some sapphire. Pretty nice I must say.

I have been in a festive mood this week, so it's all been sailor jerry's and egg nog

Spiced rum and ginger beer
Disaronno and coke
Hendrix Gin and tonic with slices of cucumber
Any ale which is advertised as being festive.

So I went back to old faithful last night. Bombay Sapphire and a splash of Club Soda and lime. Tastes like Christmas.

yeah a christmas tree

I love scotch on the rocks. I like to start every night off that way, then gravitate towards seasonal beers and microbrews.

speaking of festive ales, i tried a double chocolate stout with cranberry that was pretty flippin good

also a winter ale with hints of cloves and oranges. tasty and interesting, but i'd never drink more than half a bottle in a night.

I love butterbeer.

pass me the Pabst Blue Ribbon please.




































































so i can throw it out the window


I like Magic Hat #9, Circus, Winter howl, yuengling, and stella artois. A lot of my friends enjoy coors, miller, etc, but i can't seem to enjoy them at all.

As for liquor i prefer: jager, grey goose, and jungle juice (it's like an alcoholic surprise).

magic hat #9 is disgusting but yuengling is my beer of choice when i'm away from canadian beers

stella is overpriced and has a weird, subtle aftertaste that bugs me

what abv. does stella have in the states?

it's 5% in canada but i've noticed canadian beers sold in the US are watered down, so who knows

rum and coke
disaranno and coke
rum and hot chocolate
sambuca
budweiser
ale
cocktails
corona and lime
wine
