What do you drink?

[Whitens Moss]

It's evening, it's winter and you need a tot. Bourbon? Whisky? Cutty? I may be a rarity but I enjoy a tumbler of Anisette on the rocks. Sip it slowly and it warms me up like nothing else. It's an anise-flavored liqueur and not many folks drink it where I live so store has to special order it for me. Mr. Boston is my brand. Otherwise Jim Beam Bourbon is my fave.

So what's your favorite libation?

 

[Bullet Bob]

Coffee, black.

[Qball]

Water
it's cheap enough for me

 

[Grayfox]

Back in the day it was Jack Daniels.
For the last 35 years its been Dr. Pepper.

It varies. Lately, it's been Russkiya Standart, frozen. I don't ordinarily drink vodka, but this stuff is pretty tasty. I can't get it around here, but there's a Russian guy at work who frequents a Russian deli way over the other side of town who will pick up a bottle for me every now and again.

There is usually some rye whiskey around, Bulleit or Overholt, sometimes Templeton, and a bottle of Sapphire in the freezer for martinis.

Just the other day, I found a bottle of Pelinkovac, "Croatian Bitter Liqueur", which is a misnomer; despite a bitter undercurrent, the stuff is pretty sweet. I always liked it for something after-dinnerish, but it was off the shelves around here for a number of years.

Mostly, though, it's cool, clear water from the Brita pitcher I keep in the fridge. At 36° with no chlorine, it tastes pretty good.

I really not much of a drinker, but if I need a "warming up" I like a shot of B&B or Frangelico in my coffee or a Cap. Morgan (and honey) in my tea. The occasional snifter of Cognac or Brandy is good to take the chill off. Lately I've found a spicy Bloody Mary or a glass of Shiraz-Merlot after dinner has hit the spot on cold nights in front of this forum.

You gotta be kidding, right? After two 7up's, I'm dancin' on the tables and rippin' my clothes off!! So, when I start feelin' a little wild, I'll have a Barq's Root Beer...but that's about the extent of it.

 

[birdshooter]

Any good quality bourbon on the rocks or a pale ale beer.

. Drink it neat, it will warm you up.

WHAT TO DRINK?

Primarily water, coffee, homemade solar iced tea. Having 2 Meyer lemon trees, (you haven't experienced how good a lemon can be til you tried them. they are big as baseballs and more sweet than sour and are actually a hybrid of a lemon & tangerine.), An Arnold palmer blend of tea/lemonade is hard to beat. for a warm up I make lemon cello from the Meyer lemons that will warm you up like anything, neat from the freezer & it makes a good rheumatiz medicine also. I try to keep it strong enough to NOT freeze, & weak enough NOT to be flammable. My house drink for the ladies is amaretto/ Malibu coconut rum/ southern comfort/ orange juice, equal parts shaken & over ice. I call it a suncoast godfather & haven't had any complaints.

 

[snake803]

Jack Daniels, or South Carolina "APPLE PIE" .....
JIM...........

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Hell, it's ALL good.

 

[Vulcan Bob]

Gave up the booze years ago so my weapon of choice these days is coffee, black.

 

[absolutevil]

Wild Turkey, two cherries, handful of ice.

 

[mg357]

cold Water

 

[Old Corp]

One of the better amber products from Kentucky or Tennessee, with just a wee bit 'o branch water.

 

[Old Seabee]

Drink

Bud light or Titos vodka with anything

 

[diamonback68]

I usually have four fingers of either coffee or Coke.
Young people will say "what the heck does "four fingers" mean?"

 

[Faulkner]

My wife's homemade iced tea. When I really step out there I like a ice cold Mountain Dew in a bottle, but that's only on special occasions.

Anthropologists have found clear evidence showing that men have been brewing and drinking beer for well over 5000 years, well before cattle were domesticated for milk production. There is a rather convincing argument to the effect that one of the primary reasons early tribes abandoned the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and settled into permanent villages was the amount of time required to properly age their beer.

For hundreds of years it was quite well known that drinking water was quite unsafe, actually a serious health risk. Beverages concocted with a modest amount of ethyl alcohol provided much safer sources, and were the norm throughout Europe until at least the early 20th Century.

Immigrants to the New World usually arrived in organized companies to establish settlements in the colonies. Each company consisted of a group of people representing all of the necessary skills and trades (carpenter, blacksmith, apothecary, farmers, herders, usually a preacher, and always a brewer).

To summarize, the production and consumption of beer is probably one of the most significant steps ever taken toward the creation of a more stable and safer human condition, contributing heavily toward steering mankind out of the savage past and into a civilized state.

I am not one to ignore such a historical imperative. I regularly celebrate the contributions of beer to society, usually by having a beer or two.

I enjoy whisky or whiskey. There are always a few bottle from Scotland in the cabinet and a few from this side of the pond. This week I have been sipping a local distillers’ offering. It is High West Distilleries’ Double Rye. It is a pleasant surprise of spice, fruity and herbal notes with hints of vanilla. It sure pairs well with a good cigar.

I think craft whiskies are going to follow craft beers in popularity. There are some small distillers out there scattered across the US producing some very fine whiskies.

 

[Old Corp]

To each his own, but I for one could never see how setting fire to something and sucking it in could ever be a good thing or be enjoyed in any way. To say I hate being around it is a understatement.

But I'm glad some like it. I come from NC tobacco farm family stock, and spent all my youth working in the fields.

 

[boatme99]

What have you got?

 

[Cdog]

In recent months Four Roses bourbon neat has become a favorite.

Last Evening I dusted off a bottle of Rebel Yell to try. It ain't bad, but I can't recall any bourbon that I didn't at the very least "like!"

 

[Wingmaster]

I am a Miller High Life kind of guy.
Ocasionally I will have a glass of Glenlivit 12 year old.

[BigCityChief]

An inch or so of Maker's Mark or Knob Creek with one ice cube and a good book. That's a good start

Back in the day my choice was Chivas Regal scotch; over ice!

Occasionally a small glass of Canadian Club and 7 UP.

These days it is mostly coffee, black.

I have a bottle of Chivas (750ML) on the top of my bar that I have been working on for over 15 years!! It still has almost half of it's contents!

A great after-dinner drink to settle the stomach is what my wife and I named The Impress (we first had it at the Impress Hotel in Victoria, BC). In consist of one shot of Frangelica and one shot of Baileys Irish Cream in a small hi-ball glass of ice. Smooth.............. ONLY HAVE ONE.............

With pizza I still enjoy a cold Heineken . . .so a six pack last almost a year!!
