The finest stuff from Scotland, Scotch Whiskey, a very good red wine, beer or a good vodka. I am not much into cocktail stuff, a gin tonic from time to time or perhaps a Black Velvet (cider combined with Guinness). That does the trick for me.

The finest stuff from Scotland, Scotch Whiskey, a very good red wine, beer or a good vodka. I am not much into cocktail stuff, a gin tonic from time to time or perhaps a Black Velvet (cider combined with Guinness). That does the trick for me.
I usually drink good red wine, bourbon, rye, scotch, and various brands of beer (Dixie lager & Blackened Voodoo, Harpoon IPA, Red Oak, Sierra Nevada IPA, Boddington's, New Castle, Grolsch, Sam Adams, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller High Life, etc)
mixed drinks: Classic Gin Martini's, Gin & Tonic, Old Fashioned's....when I'm pressed I'll have a rum & coke or stoli & something.
Right now in my wet bar I have: Stolichnaya Vodka, Sazerac Rye, Broker's Gin, Pinch Scotch, Kettle One Citrus Vodka, Absente Absinthe, Irish Cream, Triple Sec, Dry & Sweet Vermouth, and Maker's Mark Bourbon....I also have a few bottles of wine and Orange and Angustora Bitters.
Good beer (too many to mention really, but there are some "good" beers that I don't like, I'd rather have a Papst than a Corona any day of the week), goodish Red Wine (I'm really not gonna spend more than 15.99 or so on a bottle that often (or ever really), besides there are lots of good bottles between 10 and 15), Vodka & Water, Gin & Tonic's, not a big fan of Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch but I'll drink it.
Things I don't like: Margaritas, Whiskey and Coke, Rum and Coke. If I'm drinking whiskey I'll just drink it with ice or water. Not a big fan of white wine but I don't really dislike it, I just don't really but it cause if I buy wine I buy red wine.
Ouma you're 100% correct, you never mix bourbon or whiskey unless it's with ice, or bitters and in that case it's just a dash.
You do however need to drink better wine or at least try it.
I am not a tequila fan or ANYTHING mixed with Red Bull, bleh
I've found wine over that amount to be very hit and miss, a few I preferred over "cheaper" wine but most I didn't. I just don't care enough in the end, I'm not gonna drink cheap cheap wine but there are plenty good bottles in the 10 to 15 to maybe 20 range.
You have to know what to look for...Chateaunuf's are ALWAYS over $30 but are usually well wortht he price. E.Gigal is very solid
Kronenbourg, JD with ICE, Corona with lime, milk and white wine.
don't often drink anything alcoholic these days BUT I do like a good G&T and discovered Champagne cocktails on holiday which were stunning, especially when drunk along side gin and tonic. Best bit was the serious drunkeness without the vomit associated with beer nor was there any hangover!:)
Student days it was beer with the boys;D
Back when I was a pro alchy I was addicted to cuba libres. That is without doubt the greatest drink ever.
These days my favourite drink is water... especially every morning to help revive me from wimpy amateur grade alchy hangover.
You need to get Sailor Jerry's Rum....AMAZING stuff......oh forgot to add, I have that in my bar as wellQuote:

Right now it's Duvel but in a week or two it might be something else. It was Affligem Triple a while ago but the last lot I bought didn't taste right so I went off it. You've got to have it standing upright for a couple of days in the coldest part of the fridge or bung it in the freezer for an additional 20 minutes if your fridge can't get it really cold. And don't knock the bottle or pour the last half inch out or you'll get yeast in the glass and it ruins the taste. But if you get it right it's spectacular. Careful pouring too as it can get a bit of a head on it, use a pint glass. :)
I like red wine too, try and avoid spirits. Mainly poncey beers for me.

Im having to try one now summers is here, good enough excuse for one.
Dark Rum?
Meths
Yeah...you could use clear rum, but the dark rum does best. I suggest Sailor Jerry's if you can get it...it's far better than Captain Morgan'sQuote:
