Your non-wine guilty pleasure

I’m a fan, too. And guilt-free.

I have a soft spot for High Life; it’s the beer of choice for my extended family. I associate it especially with Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday.

Candy.

And cortados . . .

Totes!

I’ve become an enormous fan of festive mixed drinks if done well. Lately, the Jasmine (looks and tastes somewhat like Grapefruit). I also like babysitters in the 18-25 year range (they like Captain and Coke), but don’t most people here?

Err, yes, some energy drinks too . . .

Old fashioneds

Ketel martinis, also sometimes with blue cheese stuffed olives

Bloody Mary

Red bull and vodka when its called for (though I have found that as I get older the taste of Red Bull sticks with you for a couple of days if consumed in excess. Not. Good.)

Brandy, particularly armagnac in the winter.

I’ll guiltily admit to not liking Negronis. I’ve tried. Troy Patterson’s paon to the drink made me want to like one, but it wasn’t to be.

Aperol Spritz!


I love everything… cocktails, vodka, lots of single malts, gin, cognac, bourbons too… everything but tequila. However, my absolute favorite beverage of all time is chocolate milk. I have at least a glass a day. Usually two. Frequently, more.

Please don’t kick me out of the beer thread for this, but every once in a while I have one of these.

At least tell us you drink it on ice…

Straight from the can, baby. [wow.gif] [snort.gif]

While listening to Banda Music?

Tanqueray and tonic, not that it really counts as slumming,

I could tell you where that kind of girl ! [wow.gif]

Cheers,

Straight from the trash can by the looks of that picture.

Tall glass of ice filled with Lillet, a splash of Cointreau & citrus peel.

Negronis are fantastic and it’s a crying shame Campari isn’t more widely known or served.

Another guilty pleasure liquor is Green Chartreuse, particularly in a Last Word.

PBR in cans at Derby bouts. Also sometimes on hot days in the summer I like macro US lager over ice with a squeeze of lime - it’s actually great with seriously hot food as well.

I have fallen into a rut, if I am not drinking wine, I have GM up.

Pretty much stopped bourbon and vodka these days. Mostly stick with wine, I feel better as a result :slight_smile:
