What's your poison?

[disneychrista]

I've actually grown to really like Mango Cart and often get it in my 'build your own pack' at the local liquor store. I didn't even know they made a non-alcoholic version.

Sounds interesting! Curious if it's good, you'll have to report back

I've had the regular Mango Cart (and have the pint glass to prove it) so I am hoping the nonalcoholic is equally as good. I will be sure to report back this evening.

Blue Moon with extra orange or raspberry Stoli and Sprite.

Gin and tonic.

I know it may sound boring, but you could never go wrong with a good-old G&T.

When I drink at home it's almost always vodka. I've never tried Tito's but I've been hearing the name a lot lately and I'm getting curious to try it.

Rain Vodka. It's so smooth going down.

It really depends on my mood.

I love a good Lemon Drop, or a Chai Tea Latte martini when hanging out with the girls.

Mojito with Caribbean food; watermelon or strawberry margarita with Mexican; screwdrivers or whiskey/coke when I want to mellow my mind. Shots of tequila if I want to get totaled.

Not big on beer or most wines; but I find I like a good Prosecco, or a Moscato. Also, like Stella Rosa wines; they seem, IDK, less harsh? on my tongue. https://stellarosawines.com/our-wines

One of these days I need to try that, never had one

Chai Tea Latte martini

Thanks for the vodka tip! The cucumber one sounds interesting. A Chai tea latte martini sounds delicious, I love regular chai tea lattes.

I make them at home!

1/2 c chai tea concentrate (I use Tazo)
1/4 c. half n half
1.5 oz vodka (vanilla, whipped cream or salted caramel)
Brown sugar/cinnamon mix rim

Shake concentrate, half n half and vodka with ice together. strain into martini glass (prepped with a brown sugar/cinnamon rim.

That sounds delicious. I will have to try one when (if) I start drinking again.

@Kittyblue @Mackenzie Click-Mickelson - OMG! I am drinking a beer. It is so good. Taste like what I remember the regular Mango Cart taste like.

More breweries need to make nonalcoholic versions of their beers.

Before noon, bloody mary.
After that, I like to get a Hemmingway Special. In that link, the maraschino it mentions is the classic maraschino liqueur maraschino luxardo, but I like the cocktail because it's easy to explain (a slightly remedial version) to a bartender that doesn't know it. "Double of white rum, generous splash of maraschino cherry juice, top with grapefruit juice, lime garnish"

I would agree except it's hard to go right with this drink at a bar. Even if you get the top-shelf gin (which is usually something prole like Tanq or Hendricks) they're gonna float a half glass of Schwepps over top of it.

Beer, I can't stand a week without one especially now with the lockdown and nothing else to do.

A local whiskey bar I like does a Hemingway with rum, fresh pineapple, and luxardo. It was pretty good. The one in that link sounds good, too.

This with a frozen margarita is my poison.

I like beer, preferably local beers, that are not IPAs.

And my party trick is knowing how to make layered shots. It's fun! Google it, watch a video or two, and practice using small glasses instead of pouring direct from the bottle (easier to hold and control) Easiest is a Baby Guiness.


After some practice, you can try doing 3, like a B-52

 

[Someluck]

Diet coke out of a can for me.

A dirty vodka martini with extra olives

 

[Darcy03231]

A mojito. Just had a strawberry one yesterday and it was yummy!

I've had some G&Ts ruined because of this, but most of the time, they just give me a can of tonic so then I can make my own measurements to ensure I don't float it too much.

Bourbon, neat (no ice or water....it's amazing how many waitstaff have to ask what that means). Knob Creek or Bulleit if they have it.

Hoping to make it to the “city” this weekend to pick up some more NA beer.

I also saw that a company makes some NA hard stuff, including a cinnamon whiskey (fake Fireball).
