Favorite alcoholic beverages?

[Delilah Scythewood]

I've had my share of alcoholic goodies off and on for the last few years. Growing up in a family that let my cousins and I drink at 17 or 18 as long as we were in the house and not going anywhere provided us with an opportunity to figure out what our poisons were before we hit the official 21st birthday bash.

 

Question is: what's your poison of choice?

 

I like Jameson's, Sex on the Beach's, Doctor Apples (Apple Pucker with Dr. Pepper. SO GOOD), and my favorite: Irish Carbombs drunk to the tune of 'What's Left of the Flag' where when the verse of 'rosary beads count them one, two three' comes on, on 'three' you drop in the shot and start chugging away.

 

Might have been better to post on New Years Eve but meh, I was drinking fruit juice like a good girl and watching everyone else get sloshed.

I like my Cider (preferbly on the dry side, though a sweet cider can be nice.), and then there is always my true love, Agwa De Bolivia.... its like heaven in a cup trust me....

Hmm. I have a friend who makes really good strawberry daiquiris, but every other time I have tried them somewhere else, I didn't like them. 

 

Occasionally after a rough day at work or needing to let off some steam I will get a 6 pack of beer, it's always 211 Steel Reserve. It's cheap, it gets the job done and I'll crush a deep deep dish supreme pizza from little Caesars with my boyfriend while watching anime or whatever shenanigans we get into. After about 4 of that 6 pack (BF doesn't drink), I will usually toss my bra off and fall face first on the bed for about 6 hours.

 

I don't know much about mixing drinks. We don't even really keep liquor around in the house. When I go out with friends I'll usually get what the person next to me gets if it looks good lol. 

 

Today is that special day of the year so I have around 12 beers left. Got nice and done last night at midnight. lol Woke up this morning feeling great, probably because I also raided the fridge right before I passed out so it soaked up some of the alcohol. Gotta visit grammy in a few hours (get some new years lasanga) but afterwards when I get back home, I shall finish off all the new years beer then I plan to RP a drunk pirate with my boyfriend. Huzzzah!

Some Patron tequila or a few vodka tonics (especially Vokda+soda, I've only tried it with orange soda, tastes good if mixed right and hits like a truck out of nowhere since it doesn't feel like you're drinking alcohol) or straight vodka if I can't find beer. Otherwise beer. It's what I see almost every day.

[Maril]

I don't really like alcohol so I don't drink a whole lot. When I do drink, it's usually a single can of beer (from Thor or Carlsberg. Danish brands.) along with a meal. I've never been drunk before and so far I can still not really see the appeal in it.

What bothers me about a lot of alcohol like wine and such is that is leaves like a burning sensation down my throat, I find that a lot of the "Adult" drinks tend to. I absolutely hate the burning sensation. Of the most fancy I've ever tried is mead from a medieval festival market type thing (It was alright but I'm not a fan) 

Might be slightly odd that I've chosen to RP an alcoholic but.. Oh well! ^^

[Steel Wolf]

Living in Central New York has opened my eyes to whole new worlds of cider. As such, my favorite is a local--1911, though I've also gotten a taste for Strongbow if I can't find some 1911 or Johnny Appleseed if I'd like something a little sweeter.

 

I also absolutely adore Lindeman's Lambic of any flavor, though Framboise is always a personal favorite. I love the smell when you first pour it out, and it's that beautiful mix of sweet and savory that delights my senses.

 

As far as beers go, I'm all over the place. IPAs, hefeweisens, chocolate stouts, reds, blondes--I'll pretty much drink and enjoy just about anything about 'em all. Though I do draw the line at most light beers (Land Shark or Ichiban is about the lightest I'll go before it tastes flavorless) or some of the super-strong hoppy stuff (Total Bastard Ale was a harsh drink). Samuel Adams and Shock Top are my favorite labels, but I'll more often than not try something based on what it's made of and style than a specific brand.

I'm the type of person who hates the taste/smell of alcohol, so my favorite kind of drinks are the ones where it seems non-existent (but it definitely exists!).

 

After a stressful day at work, I like to pick up a pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade or Smirnoff Ice (I'm a baby, I know, shut up!) and have one or two while making dinner. A friend of mine makes AMAZING mixed drinks whenever she throws a party. One in particular is called Grasshoppers and it tastes just like the cookie. It's all frothy and light and oh so yummy.

For you and Sastra both, try some Dr. Apples Just get some Green Apple Pucker and Dr. Pepper (or even Cola) and mix it together. You get the sweetness of the drink with no burn and just the warmth of the alcohol. Though its easy to put them away since you can't taste anything wrong with it lol

[W'seckhi Asah]

Cocktails and Martinis. Otherwise, hard liquor shots.

[Nebbs]

I don't drink any more, and besides real ale.. I go for

[Sailor July]

Home-made beer; Absinthe, honey mead, good scotch and wine are mine!

[Dravus]

I'm not a huge fan of alcohol on its own and I'm a bit of a health freak so I only have it during special occasions and as part of a dessert/specialist cup of coffee. So, uh, I guess the latter counts!

[FreelanceWizard]

I'm mostly a drinker of sweet wines, like Rieslings and late harvest/ice wines, but I'm also a sucker for a good cocktail -- especially a mojito.

Man after my own heart. I'm much the same. Sweet wines, and then things like margaritas, strawberry daiquiris... Though I'll admit that I'm partial to anything with tequila in it... *cough*

[Kage]

I need to try this Dr Apples.

 

I really like the Stella Rosa Peach "wine".

 

I also like mojitos, dark 'n stormies, moscow mules...

 

Give me a cocktail with lots of sugar that masks the alcohol and I will be drunk soon. >.<

[Aeylis Bloodbinder]

Rum, brought from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico itself.

 

Having the majority of my family over there has it's perks.

[Kellach Woods]

I'm not gonna go by brand.

 

Beer :

Local micro-breweries or bust. The rest of the stuff just doesn't add up, and if I choose, I refuse to drink a beer under 9%. Extra strong IPA, Imperial Stout or Barley Wine are my choice.

 

I say local, but I'd say the same regardless of where I am. There's breweries everywhere these days.

 

Rum :

Brown spiced. I've tried way too many brands and ages to care.

 

Vodka :

Chilled if it's good.

Screwdriver if it's not.

 

Whiskey :

Bourbon is my poison of choice, but Kentucky style, not the others. Not a fan of the sour mashes either.

 

Blended over single-malt, but I've never had quality single-malt other than that one twelve-year I drank which I forgot the name.

 

I'll break my own rule and mention a dark rum blended scotch from the Benriach that's quite a treat.

 

Creams :

Maple creams only, and in coffee only. I just use 'em as creamer. On that I'm as Eastern Canadian as they come.

[Warren Castille]

Beers: My favorite craft beer is a tie between Hopdevil and Whirlwind, both brewed by Victory. Commercial stuff is Magic Hat's #9.

 

Liquors: Mostly rum, mostly shots and always out of doubles. 100 proof Captain Morgan spiced has been in my cabinet a lot lately, though I used to shoot Bacardi 151 like a tank.

 

Cocktails: Whiskey Sour, though if unavailable I was quite taken with an Amaretto Sour as well. I'm a budding whiskey drinker at best, though.

I've always wanted to try an ice wine. Got any label suggestions?

[Unnamed Mercenary]

...how have I not posted in this yet.

 

Beer: Pretty much anything that isn't dominated by hops. I tend to go for the darker bears, like Hefeweizens and Stouts. Franziskaner Weissbier and Guinness Extra Stout are my beers of choice. But I also like a good Flemish Ale, especially the really sour kinds. And a Framboise Lambic is always nice. So really, I just hate hops. If I can't taste the hops, I'll probably drink anything.

 

Wine: No idea. I honestly haven't had enough to get any kind of taste for what makes a wine "good". I can appreciate a nice port or dessert wine?

 

Spirits/Liquor/Liqueur: Vodka and Gin are my two go-to choices. I like to go for mojitos or moscow mules if vodka is the choice. A gin and tonic is always nice as well. Recently started using bourbon and whisky more, for things like Manhattans and Old Fashioneds. Bitters are good. And then there's this stuff called Bärenjäger that I like to mix with this stuff and it's great on a warm day.

 

...anyone who knows me knows I have a spending problem. So the alcohol cabinet's always full, even if it's not being drank.

Probably the best ice wine I've had is Inniskillin; Vidal is their classic, but their Riesling is also awesome. It will, however, set you back at least $80 a bottle. (That's a wine, like Sauternes, that I only drink when someone else is paying for it. ) I've also had good luck with German eiswein, though, and it's usually much cheaper. Schmitt Sohne Wines imports one, as silly as this sounds, in a dark blue box that's just labeled "Icewine." It runs around $24 and is pretty good.

 

While I'm offering recommendations, I also like late harvest muscats. A surprisingly good one of those is Quady Essentia. It's a sweet muscat from California that's got a really fruity flavor.

[Ha'uruh Nunh]

Beer (or beer-like malt beverage product):  Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade.

 

Hard liquor:  Vodka or rum shots.

 

Cocktails:  Vodka cranberry or rum and coke.

 

I also like wine, sparkling or otherwise, and sake.

[111]

Beer: I like most anything, but IPA's are my favorite.

 

Wine: Cabernet's and sauvignon blanc are my go to wines, though I'll drink anything dry.

 

For cocktails I prefer anything bourbon based, old fashioned are my favorites.

 

If anyone ever needs bourbon or scotch recommendations let me know. I spend far too much money on them...

[Dat Oni]

The olde Irish Creme, and a little champagne here and there for sophisticated events.

 

Because of my medication, I have to plan out when I'm drinking ahead of time to make sure there's as little interaction between the two as possible.

 

Why? Because if alcohol and my meds mix to any significant degree, I'm dead.

 

Right on the spot. Game Over. GG, no RE. Dead.
