What is your favorite beverage(s)/ spirit(s) when you're in that

mode?

If you don't drink alcoholic beverages, you can post your favorite(s) too.

I like amoretto and whiskey sours, slow gin fizz and red devils. But I especially love Margaritas!!!!!

P.S. I am not an alcoholic, I just appreciate different types of beverages.

amaretto sours are the BOMB

I really don't drink a lot, but the last time I did I was at BBQ's with some friends. BBQ's has these HUGE drinks that they put all these flavors in- mine was a peach mango colada. It was SO ILL.

Absolut & Cranberry (or Grapefruit).

PS...I'm not an alcoholic. I just play one on TV

WHAT!!

A GREAT topic! I could be here for days! Um, does that make me an alcoholic?

My (short list of) drinks of choice:

Long Island Iced Tea
Parrot Bay and Pineapple Juice
Tropico
Bacardi Limon and Lemonade (HELLO!)

Basically any light liquor with Sprite.

Although I don't drink much anymore (except for Last Fridays

), when I was in college, I used to PUT THEM AWAY!!!!! Here are my faves, in no particular order:

Parrot Bay, Pineapple juice, grenadine (librasoul, try it with the grenadine!!!!!)
Screwdriver & grenadine (grenadine is just the bomb, lol)
Apple Martini
Midori Sour
Long Island Iced Tea
Electric Blue Lemonade
Blue Margarita
TEQUILA!!!!!
Slow Gin Fizz

And last, but certainly not least, Hairy Buffalo!!! I'll even give yall my recipe.

Soak pineapples (fresh) and strawberries in 151 Bacardi Rum. Soak watermelon and canteloupe in Skyy Vodka. Soak overnight (about 12 hours should do it). In the morning, mix the two mixtures together, and let it sit for about 4 to six more hours. Finally, when ready to party, add Peach Schnapps, orange juice, pineapple juice, and Minute Maid Fruit Punch. You have the best drink in the world right there, and the fruit will #(^% YOU UP!!! I don't recommend using apples or grapes, the apples are too hard to soak in a lot of liquor and since grapes have skin, they pose the same problem. But pretty much any fruit to suit your fancy. Fresh fruit is the best though, canned, not so good.

Of course Amaretto Sours are a classic

Long Island Ice Teas when I want to get buzzed

Orange Cream-sicles with liquor (can't remember the correct name of the drink) are off the hook!!

Smirnoff Ice is perfect for cook-outs

Dancerella1908,

My granddad just visited us from Detroit for Memorial Day. Did he NOT bring me six 2 liters of Faygo Cream Soda in a box!!! I love him! Here in the ATL, they just have those itty bitty glass bottles, and some 3 liter kinds. But we don't have all the flavors here. I was soooo happy. I remember he used to give me warmed Vernors when my stomach hurt...ughh!

I don't really drink much, but I have taken to that new drink, Skyy Blue. I really like it. I also like Smirnoff Ice...I discovered I like vodka now

Now my fiance is a different story...he drinks enough for two people

FeeFee · #14 05-31-2002, 11:15 AM

My list of favorites I used to drink:
1. Kahlua and Cream (my absolute favorite)
2. Absolut and cranberry juice
3. Whisky sours
4. Sea-breeze
5. Heineken beer
6. Rum punch (for those of you who ever attended a West Indian party!)

The difference between and alcoholic and a drunk is that an alcoholic attends weekly meetings
