Favorite Drinks?

Well, rootbeer, ginger ale, and orange soda are my favorite soft drinks.

For those that do, rum with a can of Diet Pepsi on the side is also great. Not mixed unless I have bad tasting rum, but having a pepsi for chaser sometimes kinda tastes nice.

Its been such a long time since I've had White Rum it's almost funny, and can't for the life of me remember what it tastes like lol...

I'll just name my favorite brand of Rum, seeing how it's pretty much my go to drink: The Kraken Black Spiced Rum. 

Yeah, not high brow or anything like that, I just enjoy the taste. ^_^

Favorites:

Woodford Reserve and Coke

Captain and Coke

Wild Turkey straight


Alice In Wonderland
- 1 part Southern Comfort
- 1 part Amaretto
- 1 part Grand Marnier
Serve warm or cold, neat or stired, not shaken and no ice. Works best as complement to Coke or Pepsi.
Not meant to be a mixed drink. I've tried... for some reason if you put the liquor in the coke/pepsi
it doesn't taste the same or anywhere near as good as if you drink them separately and mix in your mouth...
Caution: Fairly sweet (like Alice) but will F#*%K you up if you're not paying attention (like wonderland )

So... i'm a beer snob, living in Wisconsin. I go to Greate Taste of the Midwest annually. we have some great micro brews around here.

My go-to beers are typically maltier beers like stouts, scotch ales, and brown ales.

• New Holland Dragon's Milk (bourbon barrel aged stout)
  
• Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout
  
• Rogue Ale Hazelnut Brown Nectar
  
• Upstream Brewing's Dundee Scotch Ale
  
• Great Dane Pub Stone of Scone Scotch Ale
  
• Great Dane Pub Blackwatch Scotch Ale (cask conditioned)
  
• Ale Asylum Pantheon

If i'm desperate, i'll get an IPA... Typically only Dogfish Head 90 minute

Liquor-wise, i prefer spiced rums. I used to drink these mixed w/ Coke or Dr Pepper, but as i'm trying to limit my carb intake, i mostly drink them straight now:

• Captain Morgan, typically the 100 proof.
• Captain Morgan Private Stock
  
• Kraken.... sometimes, i don't find this as good straight as Captain (especially 100)
  
• Crusoe... delicious!! This isn't your ordinary spiced rum. not a lot of heavy vanilla like most spiced rums. this one has more a clove taste than anything. great on the rocks. Distribution is limited though. it's made in California IIRC

Recently i've been dabbling in Vodka... namely Reyka vodka. It's not abrasive and has a subtle vanilla tone to it. check it out if you get a chance, makes a pretty good martini

Likewise, which can make hanging out with friends obtuse sometimes. Hailing from France, I used to drink wine, but now I mainly stick to water/juices/milk. I never could stomach the taste of beer.

There was a period of time when i gave up drinking. it was about a year and a half long. I still hung out with my friends when they were drinking, i just brought some tea bags with me and brewed my own tea. I never caught flak for it.

so, as long as your friends are understanding (which, they should be), there's no real reason you couldn't still attend these social drinking sessions and not drink yourself.

unless the reason you don't hang out with them is because people are irritating after they've had a few, and then i'd completely understand :-)

I love wine and bourbon. Unfortunately I have an addictive personality so I took it too far. I'm on the wagon now, due to that and my medication forbids it.
