Your drink of choice is???

Post by Marxbro »

I drink Coca Cola like I'm its helpless little bitch. I can't not drink it.

Strangely though, as much as I dig Coke for the caffeine, I've never in my entire life tasted coffe. Weird right? It just smells gross to me.

So what is your drink of choice? Gin, Pepsi (which I hate and think tastes like crap), Wine, Grape Crush, Johnny Walker, Pimp Juice, what?

"Minimilk" (0,1% fat, a great thirst quencher, but only in Sweden I guess)
Diet Coke
Black coffee or espresso
Ice water

Gammeldansk ("Old Danish") - best spiced schnapps in the world
Gin, cranberry juice and soda water (dunno if it has a name)
Single malts (Laphroig is a favourite)
Jameson (Irish blended whiskey with a hint of chocolate, I think, that goes down like water)
Jacob's Creek (cheapest sparkling white in Sweden at £7 or so...and as you probably know, here alcohol can only be purchased at 20 years of age at a place called THE SYSTEM)
What this world needs is more silly men.

Almost any kind of beer- I gave up being a beer snob when I became a schoolteacher. However, I prefer Newcastle, Guiness, Hoegaarden, Abita Christmas Ale, or any of the Rogue varieties.

Liquor - Gin, baby, Gin. Or Middleton's.

Wine - The Redder the Better

Other - Water, fruit juice, egg nog by the gallons

Dr. Pepper in the sopa pop category
I like a nice, hearty Rhone-style wine in the winter
Austrian Grüner Veltliner for the summer months
Alsatian wines, especially Gewürztraminer with Chinese food
Duvel's my favorite beer

Oh, and Bourbon too. I'm cheap, so I drink Maker's Mark.

Coffee in the morning only - with a fat free flavored creamer

Just about any diet soda - I can't indulge myself in full sugar soda, as much as I would like to

Rum or vodka, but never straight - always in a mixed drink. I'm an excellent martini maker. But I do make a great margarita as well.

Don't drink much beer, although I really like Abita. Drank wheat beer in Germany, but the purity standards are different there, so it was better. I do like hard cider.

Wine, Wine, Wine, give me more wine. I love hearty reds, dry whites and no blush! White Zin tastes like koolaid.

And ElVez, don't start on me again about my trip to the wine store. 8)

It always seems weird when I think that White Zin was my first favourite wine. Now I think it tastes just awful.

No hurricanes. Ever.
ditto that!

water, sometimes with lemon.
beer - Southpaw. cos I'm cheap.
wine, sometimes - usually in a box, but if I'm celebrating I might spring for something with a zippy label (like the Thirsty Lizard's white shiraz)
diet pepsi - the only diet cola I can tolerate. just the right amount of caffeine.
tea - hot or iced. no sugar, no lemon, no milk.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

While I won't force any hurricanes on anyone (I despise 'em myself), we'll certainly have to try a few local brews while you're here SP.

Bass is my beer of choice. If I need a snack, I'll have a pint of Guinness.

I'm a Sprite whore. Too much caffiene makes my head threaten to explode into pain splinters, but I love having soda. So Sprite it is.

Mixed drinks? Jack and Coke is my classic favorite. A close second is a cable car (sweet and tons of different liquors).

Coffee, coffee, coffee. I'm partial to dark roasts. Peets is probably the best in the universe. With 2% milk and sugar/splenda/blue packets (no pink!!!). Cappucinos/machiatos are a good change of pace.

on special occasions: root beer (A&W is best; Barqs will do) or, even better, cream soda (A&W and several other high end brands);

In a Jewish deli -- Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray tonic (yes, it's a celery flavored soda...and it's good!)

On a daily basis -- nofat milk

For dessert -- A black & white malt (that's vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup)

For a light desert in a Jewish deli -- an Egg Cream

in a bar -- Vodka Martini -- I don't care whether it's shaken or stirred, but don't forget the #$#@$# extra olives! Or, if I'm feeling more vegetable-friendly, I'll go with a Bloody Mary. The best I've had, overall, were in New Orleans where they add horseradish, and replace or augment the traditional celery stalk with olives and a pickled green bean. At this point, the Bloody Mary is not just a cocktail, it is also a salad.

Coffee (no, not Starbucks... that is NOT coffee) - there is nothing I like better than the smell that wafts out of a coffee shop that deals in fresh roasted beans.

Beers - partial to the odd Kilkenny, Stella Artois, Yebisu and numerous Australian "boutique" beers

Can't get by without a Coke (old school... not lite, cherry etc etc)

Love wine (red and white)

Spirits... just give me straight ouzo or sake (they call it rice wine, but to me it tastes like a spirit)

It's a cheap, widely known brand of American coffee that claims to be "moutain grown" and makes you wonder just what's happening on that mountain.

Maybe Australian coffee is so universally great that Starbucks actually tastes bad by comparison but, while many growse at Starbucks here, they actually saved American coffee from near universal suckage back in the day. There are better coffee places here, and I decry what they did to the neighborhood coffee house here in the U.S., but overall they've made it A LOT easier to get a decent cup of joe here in the U.S. Before Starbucks, a "cappucino" meant coffee with booze in many U.S. restaurants and anything stronger than dishwater was something exotic, to be found only in strange places like Berkeley and, later, Seattle.

Now, I can go to, say, Tulsa, OK and actually get good coffee...and not only at Starbucks. Say what you will about Starbucks, they actually changed the tastebuds of a nation!

End of coffee-fueled rant!
