Drink of Choice

[RobertK]

big parties are the suck. packed bars are the suck. bars' expensives are the suck.

hanging out with a group of good friends and some girls, killing a few cases at beer pong or sipping on your own drinks is where it is at. could possibly happen at a bar, but i love the laid back drinking with friends and small get together or functions, etc.


I'm with Ken. We're the experts, so believe us. But I think they taste like shit.

I took a shot of Absinthe once, but it was the "lightweight" 53% version. I still want to try the balls out moonshine 80-something% one.

My favorite drink? Caipirinhas. Lime, Vodka and sugar.

[Ray Smoodiver]

what kind of lime "juice" do you use for vodka and lime? would just regular lime pop do the trick or should it be lime juice?

Ideally, use real lime juice, but packaged juice will suffice.

Try this: couple of shots of vodka, a few wedges of lime, some ice and some packaged lime juice. Shake with ice and dump it into a glass. Yum.

Caipirinhas. Lime, Vodka and sugar.

That would be a caprioska. A caipirinha uses cushed ice and Cachaca.

Smirnoff just came out with Lime Flavored Vodka even,

And Absinthe is only worth it if you have it shipped from Yugoslavia, and get the shit with Thurjone in it from the Wormwood, it is the only kind that can really get you crunk.

Stella
Local Microbrew
Tyskie or Zywiec (Polish beer)
Tequilla Shots
Liquid Cocaine

I don't like mixed drinks as much as I used to. A cold beer (or 12) always hits the spot.

I like a good Irish Car Bomb, too.

For those that don't know what it is, you take a half-full glass of Guiness, and a shot of Jagermeister. You drop the shot glass of Jager into the Guiness, and pound the whole thing.

technically an irish car bomb is half a pint of guiness and a shot of half baileys and half jameson. I don't know who the hell is making your car bombs but they aren't doing it right (i bartend in an irish pub, although not for much longer).

Patron Silver. Straight up.

Three Wise Men (Jack, Johnnie, Jim)

Hmmm... last time I had a "Three Wise Men" in a bar it was Jack, Jim, and Jose. If that's wrong, I don't care because the fact that you're mixing tequila with other liquors straight up is a sign of things to come.

Warsteiner? Are you serious? I guess I'm just spoiled as Portland, OR is the microbrew capitol of the world.

The best I can really get is that fancy stuff at the grocery store. We have a couple of local brews, and I've liked them a lot. However, the local stuff I know of is all from GA, and I'm in SC... so that puts a damper on things. The only Ale I've ever tried was Blue Moon and it was magic. I'm also a fan of the Guniness. I had a 6pk of Pilsner Urquell once, and that is pretty special. I liked it a lot.

I'm new to good beer. ;)

Louie Trey huh $1500 a bottle, Whats up Baller! Only thing worth $1500 a bottle is like a 61 Latour. (it's wine if you don't know)

Personally I find Armangnac to be far superior to Cognac, as the Second distillation in Cognac kills most of the great flavors.

And the Car Bomb does have Bailey's and I've never heard of a wiseman with Jose.

I'm overall a wine man bottle a night does you right. That's why I'm a wine manager for a living.

[GaryE30]

I don't do beer, mainly b/c I've never experienced anything other than BudLight or Select.

I'm partial to any vodka, soco, jager, captn morgan, r&r...

[Ryan Stewart]

Bottled water. I dont give a shit about brand unless someone else is buying, then Fiji. That is my preferred drink.

Now if we are talking booze, I have been drinking a lot of local brews lately. A stout.
