best beverage

ice water with no ice

This is what I mainly drink.  I also have a glass of milk just about every day.  For alcohol, lately I've been partial to gin bucks (i.e., gin and ginger ale) and mojitos.  I agree that vodka and grapefruit juice is indeed nummy, but it's hell on the old stomach.  These days, caffeine really messes me up so only when I'm feeling daring will I drink black coffee, a Coke, or a Lubecker (coffee brandy and milk on ice).

I was thinking about putting mojitos in the worst thread!

[Sarah]

Hey, I like whiskey, too.  In fact, when I was younger, I used to have a recurring dream about the most delicious drink in the world; then, when I was twenty-two, I first tasted single-malt whiskey and knew I had found it.  I never had that dream again.

De gusti . . . etc.

You can make your own schnapps by melting a jolly rancher or candy cane in the microwave* and adding it to vodka.


* They melt really well, right into a nice, thin fluid!  It's freaky.  I learned this during a phase of experimenting with putting lightbulbs, CDs, etc, in the microwave.

Odwalla's Strawberry Lemonade.

Anybody into Minute Maid Berry or Minute Maid Fruit Punch? I cant get enough of it.

I'm with you on both of those KTB. Newcastle is the best beer and vodka/grapefruit (juice or Fresca or whatever) is the best mixed drink. Never tried it with cranberries though.

I used to like Newcastle, before I threw it up everywhere one wild night. Now I'm more partial to stouts and IPAs.

Coffee, grapefruit soda and unsweeted iced tea. That's it.

All together? Good God, that sounds horrid.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure at least the iced tea and grapefruit together would taste better than the things in the worst beverage thread.

Oatmeal stouts are the best. I'm not a big IPA fan though. I used to try out all kinds of different beers and I have a brew pub just down the street which gets great ratings on online sites. But, I don't drink heavy beers that much anymore in an effort to lose some weight. But, I do miss them. I kind of gave up beer altogether, but did you all know that Guiness Draught is one of the best non-light beers our their when it comes to calories? I think it weighs in at around 130 calories- 40 more than a Bud Light.

I love Berry Punch. It gives me terrible heartburn though.

Oh dear....

Not the only thing I miss about North Carolina.

Yes! Wolaver's, made by the Vermont brew company Otter Creek, is my favorite. Nummy!

I like my liquor pricey (Citadelle & tonic) and my beer middlin' (Yuengling)

[courtney]

I can't find any pretty pictures of it (nor can I really find the ACTUAL product around these parts), but Lacroix Pamplemousse is the best drink ever. I don't even like grapefruit (wish I did) but I love the grapefruit Lacroix.

I've only found it at the Whole Foods in Omaha so I don't get to drink it often. It takes 45 mins to get there.

I AM going there for Batman in IMAX next week so I'm totally stocking up.


Oh, and I find a well-made gin and tonic to be rather refreshing in the summer. Or winter.
