Favourite Drinks?

[RickyR]

In a cheeky spin off sars_notd_virus (btw, what does your username mean???) thread on 'What is your most favourite movie?', lets go for a topic close to my heart, 'ALCOHOL'! What is your most favourite drink?

Well for me, I drink a lot of wine, and it's hard to decide between a good Chablis or a my other favourite 'Bombay Gin' with tonic!

This is something I imagine most Europeans have never heard of, but would highly recommend http://www.laithwaites.co.uk/LW/jsp/templates/article/chooserPage.jsp?removeAllFacets=true&searchQuery=pisco+sour&sortOrder=descending&_requestid=499383#_trail=_range=_search=~searchQuery=pisco+sour_p=prod512741

[subseastu]

Pedigree (surprise)
Bass
A good red wine (Faustino No 1 is good)
Vodka and tomato
Bombay shapphire and tonic with lime not lemon
Tanduay superior and mango
A good white wine
Ethanol and coke (but only when times are desparate)

[Alan]

Glenmorangie and Chateau la Compagnonne.

subseastu, how did I know that you'd have an excellent list. Who says that us seafarers are alcoholics?

Stevie C, would you believe that you can buy Newcy Brown in bars across the United States! Very popular in New York!

[subseastu]

That me ol mate rick was the short list. Didn't want to embarrass myself!!!
The full list is:

Anything with an alcohol content.:cwm3:

THat should about cover it. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

But you're right, seafarers are not known for their hate of the good stuff! Do seem to be able to put it away a tad more than my shore side mates. Not bad for someone who (in theory) doesn't drink for 6 months of the year!

[raynaputi]

I love Jose Cuervo Tequila and cosmopolitan! :xxgrinning--00xx3: but I rarely drink coz I turn RED! :icon_lol:

SARS = "Severe acute respiratory syndrome", the really interesting question given that our "sars" is not the virus, is what our "sars" really means ? ;)

:xxgrinning--00xx3: Good man, Jim ... guess you must be like me, in preferring soft drinks - even though the famous Barr's Irn Bru is reputed to be "made from girders"!!! :D Cheers, mate! :Beer:

[Arthur Little]

Folks, I dont want to come across as some sort of "wet blanket" ... nor am I completely teetotal. :NoNo: But I've never been overly keen on the taste of alcohol :anerikke: ... unless it happens to be either a sweet cider or lager copiously diluted with lime juice. And besides, as a borderline diabetic, I cannot be too careful about what I drink nowadays. :doh

[Arthur Little]

but my fave is umbongo :xxgrinning--00xx3:

:rolleyes: ... what's 'umbongo', Joe?

[somebody]

SARS = "Severe acute respiratory syndrome", the really interesting question given that our "sars" is not the virus, is what our "sars" really means ? ;)

I made my account during the 'SARS' outbreak and it seemed like a good idea at the time..anyway,its ''notd virus'' so i'm pretty not dangerous,only when i'm upset or not getting any attention or when i'm not getting what i want ,when i think i'm missing out on something or at certain times of the month or in the morning,.. in the evening when im feeling a bit tired,.. after i've had a drink and my favorite drink is VODKA (vodka/redbull, vodka/cola),...but if i cannot get vodka i will drink cider,guinness,red wine but will not be happy about it:rolleyes::D:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[RickyR]

ah ok, so notd is short for SARS Not the Virus? Gotcha!
Nothing wrong with a Vodka Redbull, except it keeps your awake for 200 hours afterwards lol

[les_taxi]

Pear cider
Singapore slings (on way to philippines)
White german wine
John smiths smooth bitter
Quality Lager
Pernod

[RickyR]

Les, sure your not a sailor too?

[mmmab]

My favourite is Crystal... But that's so expensive and I can't get myself to buy something like that when I don't really drink alcohol...

So yeh, my favourite is crystal, but I'm not so into it or alcohol for that matter that I would go out and buy it. But if someone wants to give it to me for free :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[sars_notd_virus]

true:xxgrinning--00xx3::icon_lol:
I discovered the mixture of vodka/redbull in one of the hotels i worked with in the Philippines,..I used to manage F&B department ,its nice to have it occasionally and doesn't give me headache in the morning..as what the saying goes ''a little and in moderation is good for the health'':xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Must admit I do enjoy wine. Especially red wine.
Carina is also very fond of red wine Our favourite is Fleurie

If we're just relaxing at the weekend just eating snacks and making karaoke we both enjoy:-

Japanese Sake (any Junmai Daiginjo grade)
Jinro soju (sometime mixed with green tea)

For 'everyday' I like 'beer' especially Pilsner Urquell but nearly always good old Fosters.

In the Philippines I prefer San Mig Light

By the way for anyone who likes the taste of beer but non alcoholic I've found that
Becks Blue is really nice.

[Steve.r]

I like a good cup of PG Tips

[Terpe]

Pernod

I used to like drinking Pernod Les, when I was in my late teens/early twenties...not sure I could drink it now? :Erm:

I like Beer really, Bitter...much like I am with life. :doh :icon_lol: Don't drink much though, these days.

Always nice to have a San Mig, or Redhorse with a meal in the Phils. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Steve.r]

English tea.

English tea that I have ever had in other countries is like dish water. I'm talking about a strong cuppa like PG or Yorkshire tea, the stuff where you can stand the spoon up. That so called 'english tea' isn't what we drink here, its a joke. :NoNo:

[steve monty]

I don't know why but I have never been able to drink hot drinks, tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

I do like a nice crisp lager like Peroni or any imported belgian lager, Nice to chill out with. Thats probably why i love having a San Mig or Red Horse while in Phils! :xxgrinning--00xx3: Still getting used to Tanduay rum. Shared a bottle with mahal's family one afternoon. I had one glass to myself and they were sharing between 6 so I was getting refilled quicker than others! I tried to give my glass to others but they were having none of it! I swear they were trying to get me drunk!! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

bher, only 1 or 2 per day pure green tea.
Unless I mix with shoju then .....:omg:

[stevewool]

[Dedworth]

Ice cold Grolsch (Dutch not the brewed under licence by Coors in Burton), Heineken, DAB Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei

I used to be a real ale man but turned traitor a few years back.

This gives me nightmares though :D

Apparently 'Wine and Beer very queer' is correct. :cwm3:

[CowboyGrill]

Rum-coke goes always, using dark rum, especially havanna club, tanduay, captain morgan

Otherwise gin-tonic, wheatbeer, well many kinds of beer (im german hehe), caipirinha (preferable with the 51 cachaca from brazil) and other cocktails....

And sometimes i am also one of those *******s who can waste the taste of a single malt with coke and ice :D
