I'm putting together chairs and watching the "Up From Slavery" DVD series. When I purchased these DVDs I knew watching them would be informative and angering. When I purchased these chairs I knew putting them together would be annoying and tedious.
Long story short, perfect scenario for a glass of wine.

I had a lot of fun last week with friends and colleagues. The libations certainly helped our fun.
I hate beer unless it tastes like apple cider. Yum.

Beer that tastes like apple cider is ... apple cider 
Tried out a new recipe for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special this past Saturday - a sonic screwdriver. Vodka, blue curacao, and lemon-lime soda. Both pretty and tasty.

 No and your breathalyzer would tell you the difference.

Red's Apple Ale, DrPhil? Or Woodchuck? Or Angry Orchard? I'm not a huge fan of any of those, but they're ok. Too malty.

Crispin is good. I like the Woodchuck granny smith.

I was thinking of hard cider.

Bump for Psi U MC Vito on his sick days with rum and tea.
Like how many Russians drank/drink vodka for everything. You don't know you're sick if you're wasted.

I've been considering a nice cup of cocoa... with some Irish Cream in it!

A Soror and I are hosting a Super Bowl party. There will be a lot of people there.
Of course I have a plethora of libations for our guests. Soror is making the food.
One of my male friends asked me last night "will there be any single women there?"
I told him "no one you don't already know. But we provide the food and liquor, you figure out the rest."
I'm trying the Peach Pinnacle in addition to some gin concoctions...and beer and wine for the boring folk. Water for the last hour of sobering hydration so everyone can safely get the hell out of my house. Good times will be had by all.

Fun thread!
College:- My first drink of choice was Mike's Hard Lemonade, sophomore year. LOL good times, until I realized they were a half-step above wine coolers.
- Senior year, I was all about Disaronno and cranberry... then just Disaronno on ice. Have NO IDEA where I got this from... oh wait! The girl I made close friends with that year was an amaretto sour girl. Yeah, that.
- I also went greek that year and one of my sands' drink of choice was Malibu and pineapple, so then Malibu became my liquor of choice.
Post-Grad through 26ish- I had a one night stand with Southern Comfort. Never called him again.
- Got reacquainted with Cuervo, then learned that it's probably the weakest tequila out there. I've moved on from tequila so I can't tell you a better tasting one.
- I also started a tumultuous love affair with 151. I only have it now as a shooter in mixed drinks.
- Fell in love with sangria. Still like it, when it's made well! Its the fruit punch of liquor, and smoother than say a rum punch or bahama mama, my fruity, calorie-laden drink of choice. I have a friend who makes THE WORST sangria... ok no sangria is bad sangria, but shes a super lightweight and isnt really a good chef (I've eaten at her house enough to know). She buys mid-priced red wines from South Africa (she's obsessed with SA) and just throws fruit in. Blech. I'm gonna post my recipe below.
Mid 20s to now-ish- Much more simpler tastes now!
- I go to more bars now, so I've learned to like beer. Bartenders dont enjoy having to make mixed drinks when theyve got a whole bar of ales on tap. Beers I've liked and drink: Stella, Blue Moon, Hoegaarden, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat (feels and tastes childish, but oh well!), Shock Top Orange Wheat (ditto). I know I'm leaving one out but that's the gist. I'm open to suggestions based on what I've listed.
- I've really come to enjoy gin and whiskey. No one I know likes gin, but Bombay and tonic does alright with me. Its a staple from my Weight Watchers days (4 point drink!) If I'm in the mood for dark liquor, a whiskey ginger will work (for a long time, the subways here ran massive ads for Jameson, and one day I bought a bottle. The power of advertising!)
- Mimosas are fun too. Bellinis are a bit overrated. I'm almost always suckered by a bottomless mimosa brunch.
So yeah, those are my drinks of choice. If I ever meet any of yall fine folks, I'm probably going to have a gin/tonic or a Stella.

Oh! Sangria recipe (which, admittedly, is more work than its worth):
--cheap red wine (typically a syrah, but the last time I made sangria I found a cabernet/merlot/syrah blend)
--cut up fruits (I do a granny smith apple, oranges, limes, and grapes. maybe a pear and strawberries if I feel like it)
--chambord
--brandy (last time I used a blackberry-flavored one, but I guess whatever flavor floats your boat)
--sprite (not too much! otherwise it tastes like church punch from a bowl)
--optional: soak the fruits in simple syrup and brandy beforehand. Once I soaked it in Hennessey... not so bad.
--NO ICE CUBES IN SANGRIA! Chill it or drink it warm.

Ok, I like liquor more than I thought. LOL. If you're ever back up this way, American Whiskey on 8th Ave and 30th St has a drink called Giggle Water which has: Buffalo Trace Bourbon / Licor 43 / Root Beer / Orange Bitters. It was greatness!
There is a chambord flavored vodka that I had on NYE and LOVE IT! Not a big vodka drinker (my friends rave over Ketel One and Stoli - blech! But sometimes Grey Goose) but that was tasty!
I got suckered into the Ciroc wave and will drink the peach flavored one straight. Ditto to Malibu red.
