What is your favorite adult drink, mixed drink, or beverage?

[debm55]

With a rueben or hamburger, I'll have a beer. Sometimes I will make a mimosa with brunch.
What is your favorite and what do like to drink it with.

[RockRaven]

1. Whatever is being served in the presence of good company!

[debm55]

5. Good. I have to limit mine because of meds I take. But I do have something occasionally

[PJMcK]

2. Beer with a burger or pizza

Red wine with beef or pork. White wine with fish or chicken.

Vodka or bourbon if it’s serious drinking.

[debm55]

11. Yes, the white wine with the fish. Miss it. Red with the beef. Made my husband beef burgandy last

night and the flavor/smell was great.

[PJMcK]

14. Beef Bourguignon!

One of my favorites!

[grumpyduck]

29. Oh, yeah!

[GreenWave]

3. I'll have a Mississippi highball

with ice.

In fact I am having one right now.

[debm55]

12. Great. I never had a highball. Does it have a strong alcohol taste? Or is it mild?

[GreenWave]

36. It's actually a glass of water.

Although it is no longer a phrase in use. My mom gave me one when I was a kid.
Sorry!

[debm55]

41. No problem, my favorite nonalcoholic beverage is water or unsweeten ice tea.

[doc03]

4. I like beer nt

[debm55]

7. doc, any preference to the beer?

[doc03]

9. Duff nt

[BOSSHOG]

6. Ice Cold Budweiser Draft

With a Shrimp Po Boy and Fries, early afternoon in July overlooking Bourbon Street from a French Quarter Balcony, the light refrain of jazz drifting through the air, thoughts of a night on the town front and center in a young Sailors mind enjoying liberty for the first time in a spell. Let the good times roll. Thx for the memories.

[debm55]

8. Bosshog, thank you for the memories. Seldom drink anymore. Your post painted a lovely view for me.

[BOSSHOG]

13. I was fortunate to live near New Orleans for almost 30 years

I love the place. Old world charm, wacky residents. Yeah. Lots of bad stuff, crime and corrupt politicians, but oh so loveable. Ya can’t go a week in the summer without a party or festival of some sort.

Thanks for starting this thread. catfish po boys are awesome too.

[applegrove]

10. I like grape/cranberry juice. I went through a phase a few months

ago and gained 15 pounds. So I stopped that. I've always loved grape juice which is a good thing since I like dealcoholized wine now that i am sober. I also like dealcoholized beer too. Heineken is a good brand.

[debm55]

15. applegrove, Heineken is the brand I drink. I will have to try the dealcoholized Heineken. TY

[applegrove]

21. I had it at a restaurant a few weeks ago for the first time.

It is my favourite so far.

[Historic NY]

16. All depends on the mood...

Liquor is quicker and a Manhattan is quick way to see NY without leaving home, bitters and several top shelf cherries please.

[Ohio Joe]

17. Tequila

Good tequila… On a gaming night… Ice cold (but no ice in it, put it in the freezer for a few hours)… Six steak taco’s from the taco truck to snack on and some of my sticky home grown to toke… Yeah

[debm55]

22. Ohio Joe, neighbor here from Pittsburgh, do you do the salt and lime thing.

[Ohio Joe]

26. I actually live in Colorado now...

I made a poor choice for a user name when I joined DU

I do not, with good, Icey cold tequila it’s not needed.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Always the same: coffee with lots of cream.

[debm55]

23. I like tea mostly. will have cocoa , in winter.

[CanonRay]

19. Bailey's and Jamieson

[keithbvadu2]

20. Ginger ale...

Sometimes Ginger beer which is quadruple strength ginger ale.

Snorts through your nose... Good shtuff!

CO. Always knew someone going out to CO and would buy for the ground, Tasted better than it does now. that let it out of the state,

[Wolf Frankula]

27. Dry or Milk Stout

German or Czech style pilsner. With breakfast it's coffee.

Wolf

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. White Russian

nuff said.

[grumpyduck]

31. For Sunday brunch, a Bloody Mary.

Otherwise, single malt Scotch or just a nice bourbon for everyday drinking.

[debm55]

32. spicey--with tabasco

[gladium et scutum]

33. Tullamore Dew with a Guinesse chaser does it for me. n/t

[sakabatou]

34. Cape codder or Corona

[hlthe2b]

35. I drink less and less nowadays. Even red wine only very occasionally, but FAT TIRE

(Belgium Brewery-Fort Collins, CO) remains my favorite microbrew beer, though I'm more likely to gravitate to Michelob Ultra, given my propensity for lower-carb dieting.

I've had a bottle of 12-yo Scotch for decades now. That came out a few times when forced to watch Trump during the Presidential Debates.

Pretty much a teetotaler when you average it out nowadays, though.

[Paladin]

37. Vodka martini, dry and slightly dirty. Dressed with an olive and cocktail onion.

Experience has taught me that one of these is enough during an evening. If I make the mistake of having a second one, I start getting stupid really quick.

[pacheen]

40. Me too

Dirty martini straight up with blue cheese olives. I can only have one. With good vodka. I’ve found those happy hour martinis give me hangovers.

[Paladin]

43. I've never said no to a blue-cheese olive.

I do have to tell the barkeeps to take it easy on the olive juice, though. I want a good Martini---not saltwater. It's a personal thing---I have a number of friends who are very fond of hyper-dirty Martinis, which is fine with me.

[Mad_Dem_X]

38. Mimosa, or just plain champagne

Mimosa with breakfast or brunch, champagne in evenings (usually on special occasions only).

[Emile]

39. Ice water!

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Mixed Bag

I don't drink much. In fact, I drink zero beers (Peroni, Bitburger, Heineken or Guinness).
I use way(!) more wine for cooking than drinking. Probably 20:1
But, I'm a sucker for 18 year old single malt scotch. (Glenmorangie is my fave, followed by Glenlivet). Maybe 3 one ounce servings (neat) a year.
And, a couple times a year I'll have on shot, sipped, of good tequila.
I probably only drink the alcohol equivalent of a case of beer per year, but I enjoy what I do drink.

[Niagara]

45. I don't drink alcohol.

I'm not a recovering alcoholic or anything but I hate the thought of literally pissing away my money.




When I use to drink my favs were:
Malibu Sunset
Mai Tai
Sex on the Beach
Strawberry Daiquiri

[debm55]

50. I know--with me the beer goes in and out. Because of my meds I drink very, very little. Maybe one a

month, if that.

[cksmithy]

46. Gin Martini

with Lillet Blanc, which is basically a Vesper without vodka or lemon. My own concoction which I could/can drink all day.

[Different Drummer]

47. Mimosa.

Usually a breakfast/brunch indulgence.

[debm55]

48. Love Mimosa.

[Mr.Bill]

49. I've been drinking bourbon on the rocks

for about the last ten years but recently I found a great Irish Whiskey called Proper Twelve. It's a little more expensive than the Jim Beam I've been drinking, but much better. And it's on sale right now because of St. Patrick's Day coming up.

[SCantiGOP]

51. Single Malt Scotch

and I drink it with one ice cube.
