Whether out or at home, which is your favourite tipple?

I usually go for wine. I love red, white, rose, and sparkles, my favs being Pinot noir, Foch, Malbec, and Burgundy.
Although, I will never forget the delicious and exquisite fresh squeezed juices we got in Dahab on the Red Sea in Egypt. Luscious fresh citrus, sweet ruby pomegranate. Oh yum!

But tonight I find myself with a vodka and sprite. Hmm. Bottoms up! :dance:

Wine. Red. Dry. My go-to table wine is Crane Lake because it's vegan; one of the only vegan wines out there. Happens to also be very cheap as in 2 buck chuck cheap. If I had to drink a cocktail...it would be a dirty Grey Goose martini, with (shut up, don't judge) 3-4 blue cheese-stuffed olives. KLASSY. :lol:

Almost always cocktails. And the first drink is usually a sour, citrus cocktail. After that I switch to cocktails without citrus.

At home I drink lemonade (real lemons and sugar, not from a mix), lime ade (same deal as the lemonade), Rooibos iced teas, fresh squeezed orange juice, or sparkling water. When I am out I like a regular coke or any of the things I drink at home. We do not keep coke in the house. I also enjoy a good thai iced tea.

I barely alcohol drink. And the list of what I do drink is really short.

1. Sparkling Moscato
2. Select dessert wines except for port
4. Good apple cider. My favorite right now is by Crispin.
5. Champagne cocktails: Kir Royale, Bellini, Mimosas only.
6. Lambic beers. Strong preference for Framboise.

I do also have an occasional glass of red wine, and I prefer shiraz and zinfandels. And I will VERY rarely have a bottle of beer and if I do I prefer a nice Belgian or Belgian style white beer.

That's it though.

Much MUCH prefer red wine, semi dry to dry. Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, sometimes a Shiraz...depending. I don't drink much, but I enjoy a glass of wine every other day or so. I buy a box of wine so it stays fresh for months on the counter, and enjoy a glass without guilt. I have a Cab Black Box sitting on the ledge right now. It's been a couple of months.

Occasionally a grown-up dry white. I don't like sweet wine - it reminds me of my misspent youth with Boones Farm Tickled Pink! I like Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Reisling on a hot day :)

I don't care for beer, I've tried very hard to like it but I don't. Only once after mowing the lawn did I enjoy one.

My dh has a number of favorite alcoholic drinks.

His favorite bourbon is Evan Williams on ice.
Favorite gin is a Hendricks gin Martini.
And his favorite scotch is Glenmorangie neat or with a little bit of ice.
His favorite beer is Brooklyn Lager or Samuel Adams. But he enjoys a lot of different beers.

Can you tell he enjoys his alcoholic beverages lol. :bigsmile:

At home, water. On the few celebratory occasions, I will enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir or chilled sake.

Red wine by far my #1 choice.

The more full-bodied the better.

Second choice: citrus-y fruity cocktails, like Bacardi Limon/Coke or Pear Mojito (P.F. Chang's makes them - sooooo good).

I'm very picky about my beers and wines, so if I'm out somewhere with a substandard selection, I'll be drinking Gin and Tonics with extra lime (preference to Beefeater, but I also enjoy Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray, most places will carry one of the three).

If I have great beer or wine options, I'll choose a dense, flavorful craft stout or porter, or a glass of CabSav or Zin depending on my meal/the occasion.

All of this gets thrown out the window on a hot day, though, when all I want is a glass of semi-dry Riesling or Prosecco!

HOWEVER, if there's a cocktail with St. Germain on the menu, all bets are off and it will most likely be coming to me. :lickout:

Mine is an IPA or a glass of white wine (not picky about wines, but am picky about beers)

Current fav mixed drink is a mint mojito

Anything tropical with rum or a White Russian. Unfortunately all alcohol gives me a migraine so I rarely drink.

I rarely drink alcohol. When I do it's usually one of the following:

A fruity frozen drink
Cranberry juice and vodka
Fuzzy navel
Bloody Mary

And I also ask them to go easy on the alchol. One of my friends always order the same thing I do and asks them to give her the extra alchol :angel:

I just realized the title of the thread differs from the premise of the poll..... :cheeky:
I like to drink Jack and diet, but the alcoholic drinks I drink most often are red wine and beer, because it's readily available at home, dh always keeps those in stock ;))

Easier to list what I am not keen on: cider, dry white wine on its own, Pernod and Ouzo, champagne on its own.

I seldom drink on my own at home except when I am having a meal.

However, when I go out, I make up for it.

It really depends on where I am and the season. I love beer but I'm picky about it so if I don't see something to my liking then I'm a cocktail girl. I don't enjoy most red wines I've tried but I've had plenty of success with champagne or sparkling wines. That I LOVE.

My favorite cheap date is a $7 bottle of yellow tail pink bubbles. Delish.

My 'go to' drink is whisky with ginger ale. I never drink scotch or beer. But I do love a great umbrella drink too.

I drink alcohol only a couple of times a year. I am not fond of the taste of alcohol but I might have a Drambuie or Frangelico on a cold winter night once every long while.

Most nights, I will have tea or tomato juice.

My drinking is seasonal. Summer is all about dry white wine and gimlets with occasional cuba libre. Winter is mostly heavy, full-bodied red wines.
