Like many British women I like gin and tonic with ice and lemon. My husband likes real ale. |

Okay, so I think I found a new favorite drink (although it knocks you on your you-know-what if you have too many).
To set the tone a little... I've been a long-time fan of vodka and Red Bull as a "party starter" because I'm an energy-drink junkie, even though it tastes like antifreeze and makes me want to turn my mouth inside out and scour it with a brillo pad.
I was wandering through my local liquor emporium 2 weekends ago on a mission for margarita fixin's for a party, and ended up buying some white chocolate Irish cream (O'something or other... it's long gone, and I don't recall the brand), vanilla vodka (Stoli), and coffee liqueur (el cheapo). I went and bought some Java Monster (the plain black one) to mix it with, a bag of ice, and threw it all in a blender. H-E-A-V-E-N
Ratio was approximately 1/2 can Java Monster - 1 shot vodka - 1 shot coffee liqueur - 1 shot white chocolate + Enough ice to make it a frappe consistency.

Gin and tonic with a wedge of lime.. no, I'm not British, and no, I'm not a woman.

Tea.
What'd you expect?  I'm 16 and don't drink anything carbonated. Although, I have grown a taste for white-russians and mimosas, one is a morning drink and the other has too many calories to be a nightly thing.
Tea is perfect for me.

rosemary infused pineapple juice, lemonade, lemon juice, sugar and then varying amounts of club soda.......if it's really hot I go with tons of club, more punchy then less......and if it's a farmer dinner night I add rum....
Guiness, even in the summer......
APA, usually over heff.
tried a Miller Hi Life last week and it was darn tasty, really shocking.....guess Miller pony packs are a total throw back to youth.
Yep, the rosemary punch shtuff is served at alot of my parties and I keep a pitcher in the fridge just for personal consumption. |

Ideally id like to drink Caipirinhas - because they are so delish i fell in love with them while i was living in Argentina - but its a lot of effort and expensive so i usually go home and grab a VERY large glass of local cheapish plonk 
(or two) rest my head back and listen to the sweet melodies of Vivaldi or just fall in front of the tv!!

glass of wine or 2. Usually red.......the "everyday" is Blackstone Merlot or Bogle Petite Syrah. nothing special.
In the winter, I like cabs. Jlohr
sometimes, fiance makes a drink....club soda, espresso vodka, and a splash or two of diet coke....tastes great...more of an after dinner drink. |

| |  Wow!!
I watched the foodtv (as I always do) from 11:00am est and Bobby AFlay did (just today!) a Brazillian show where he made Caipirinhas
I usualy go into the rest. around noon or 1:00pm--depending on what my prep list looks like--open @ 5:00pm---but my morn coffee is w/Flay and just today his show was on Brazillian food. A crab/heart-palm salad/ grilled chix sal( w/bunches of stuff and cilantro- "surprise") and NY strip grilled and smothered w/ chimmichirri-- but he NEVER said it was a chimmirichirri type thing-- ii ...more or less ....was.
So ...any way...when I found the thread featuring Caipirinhas .... |

We used bomber cups. Hurricane Shooter
Red Bull , Monster, or your favorite energy drink and a shot of Malibu Coconut Rum.....yum!
I drink the occasional beer, wine spritzer, or raspberry mudslide, or White Russian.  |
