What's your poison?

[Kittyblue]

I’ve learned how to make mojitos during lockdown. I think I’ve mastered them now. However I’m not much of a drinker. I drink one on Friday night and one on Saturday night, every weekend. I think that alcohol doesn’t agree with me as my face is flushed after one drink.

I love mojitos, I feel like when I tried to make them they didn't turn out as good as at the bar. Or maybe it's just that my living room isn't as fun as the bar

If I can find it, a triple IPA. Kind of hard to find though.

Travel is my poison. My passport is useless and rusting,

Me too. Can't get away with saying "No I haven't been drinking."

Chardonnay is my "go to" when we are out.

I would love to be at a blackjack table at our local casino with my Short pour.....which is a tall glass of pop with a "splash" of rum.

On a deck, over water w/ some crab dip and a pomegranate martini or two would be nice....sun would be out, temp would be about 68 degrees. Slight breeze, salt water in the air. That would be my poison if I had to pick at this exact moment!

Well, if I am out with a friend, I usually have a glass of Cabernet or a Malbec, but my real drink of choice (when I’m not driving) is a Manhattan on the rocks. An Old Fashioned is good, too.

Sober 87 days today, but prior it was gin on the rocks with 2 limes. Or, Tito's on the rocks, 2 limes.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

My favorite ... Mai Tai in Hawaii. 🏖


Reality ... riesling on my back deck.

Way to go. Very proud of you. Stay strong. You can do it.

We did a mojito class on a Disney Cruise. The bartender told us that when he makes mojitos at home, he boils the mint in the simple syrup he makes. Then you don’t have to muddle it, get it in your straw etc.
We now make them this way. For the simple syrup, boil water and sugar in a 1:1 ratio and add a bunch of mint leaves. Then strain it and refrigerate it. When you want a mojito, you use the syrup, rum, lime, and a splash of soda.

Martini/Old Fashioned/Manhattan/Margarita if I'm out(which is almost never)

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

Mostly a porter or stout

Hard liquor for now has been prohibition lemonade (crown, lemonade, sour mix)

Restaurant drinks, I enjoy the Painkiller from Cheddars, the Moscow Mule from a Cincinnati brewery/brick oven pizza joint, and the watermelon beer from another brick oven pizza/brewery joint about 45 minutes away.
But I'm more of a wine drinker most days. Currently enjoying a glass of Catawba from our local vineyard.

Thanks! I'll have to try that!

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.
