love a margarita, nothing frozen or fancy, just good silver tequila, lime, and syrup
Old fashioned. Don't know quite what it is but it hits every angle just right
Went to a cocktail bar and ordered these because the bartender there recommended it. I was having a exceptionally bad day and this guy was just serving only me and giving me on after the other. After about 4 i felt better.
Barely any words exchanged but watching him make each one was very hypnotic and i forgot about all my problems. Since then its been my favourite drink.
Same. I'm a huge fan of classic spirit-forward cocktails. Old-fashioned, Manhattan, martini, negroni.

Good choice
Anytime I've had anything with alcohol in it I've thought "this would probably taste good if it wasn't for the alcohol". I must just have baby taste buds.
nah, alcohol tastes bad and most drinking culture is all about brainwashing yourself to like the bad tasting thing.
I've been into soju lately, especially a peach or pineapple flavor, but more importantly eggnog season is back. I'll be drinking that for the next few months
Love soju.
soju bombs are a fun way to chug a light beer
My friends and I call them "Death Claws"
1/2 black cherry white claw 1/2 ready made cherry margarita mix Optional: a shot of tequila
It's cheap you can sip on it or just chug it and get real fucked up
kinda weird but it sounds rather good. saved for further research
Stout/porter.
Prairie makes a colab with Evil Twin(I think) called Bible Belt that is one of the best stouts I've ever had. It's boozy AF and pricy but if you haven't tried it, seek it out.
a fauxjito edit oh wait i read that wrong. a bees knees!
amaretto sour
Living in mexico i learned that my favorite way to have rum/coke was to have half coke, half soda water, and double rum, and a bit of lime juice. SUCH A GOOD DRINK, and often i wouldn't get hangovers because the water kept me hydrated.
When I was still boozing I loved a good, simple whiskey sour
vodka
I'm partial to local ciders
Much like my coffee wankerism in the other thread, I'm a beer nerd too - always been into dark beers though, so imperial stouts are my favourite, but stout season is ending in Australia. Guess I'll be on the oat cream IPAs for the foreseeable future.
Otherwise, Old Fashioned is probably my favourite cocktail/mixed drink. You can't beat a good one. I tend to make a fuckaround one at home with brown sugar and orange bitters
I'm a craft beer nerd. I'm huge into IPAs but can agree that the market has become oversaturated. But I genuinely like most other styles as well.
I've recently gotten back into a red wine kick after finding out that Ménage à Trois is vegan so yay for cheap but good wine that isn't filtered with animal parts.
I love basically any gin based cocktail, hell even gin neat tastes good to me. Other than that I love ciders of all kinds.
piss
Not an alcoholic drink- unless you're talking about Budweiser, in which case it's piss that tastes kinda good
Yes, I like piña coladas
Getting caught in the rain?
Bourbon, but I've been off booze for nearly a year now
I had to give it up (I went on a wild bender due to COVID depression and I tried to dry myself out and woke up in the hospital, not good!)
But I used to like a good bourbon. Ice cube in the summer, splash of water in the winter.
Or a gin and tonic with fresh mint leaves crushed up. Super refreshing on a warm summer evening.
It's hard to choose one, but maybe a Peruvian Pisco sour. It tastes like lime juice, but is probably over 30% abv. Bellinis are great too when you can get them with a decent peach puree.
whiskey water/coke or a pale lager
A vegan irish coffee
Long Island Iced Tea is my fav. I think what I like is that it tastes very strong... but is in fact way stronger than you even think it is.
Rum & Lemonade
A good gin&tonic is my go-to. Also rum (had the privilege of getting a bottle of Cuban soft rum once long ago and it made me a rum lover), dry white vine, the occasional beer. Not really much of a drinker, I hate being drunk, but I do like to have a drink here and there every once in a while, with food typically. In wintertime a hot beverage with a splash of rum in it in the evening is a wonderful thing.
When younger I liked single malt whiskeys, but have totally lost my taste for those, unless used in a nice Irish Coffee. Same for all the jägers, passoas, irish creams and other such things. Wine taste has also turned from red to white over the years.
Unfortunately im fked by genetics so alcohol makes me have a allergic reaction basically
I like to brew my own cider and fruit wines. Can't go wrong with an imperial cider or perry plus a berry like blueberry or strawberry
white rum with carbonated water or water depending on what i have at hand
usually just a vodka neat, straight out of the freezer. though sometimes a moscow mule is nice.
Scotch when I can afford it. More often the It's cheap Brandy I'm actually drinking lol. Also, stouts and ales in terms of beer.
I like a g&t with a splash of grapefruit juice, or maybe with some muddled pineapple sage sitting in the gin for a couple minutes before the tonic, or butterfly pea flowers.
Kahlua. Captain Morgan rum. Vanilla ice cream. Root beer. Combine, put in freezer for hour, til it becomes a slushy freeze. Vanilla ice cream at top, slushy root beer ice at bottom. Tastes best if you drink it with a straw.
I like beer, I generally don't drink liquor because I've had problems with alcohol in the past and it makes it easier for me to keep my consumption under control. I would say I like craft beers but that usually implies 'west coast double dry hopped mango IPA.' I prefer locally made, high quality beers that aren't too over the top and trend closer to the traditional ingredients and recipes. Not just IPAs either! I absolutely LOVE saisons, either local or import. You can never go wrong with Saisons Dupont.
Hahaha very glad to see where this link went. Them crooked vultures was so sick
The fact we only got one perfect album from that supergroup is nothing short of a miracle, I can't imagine how bad a forced second album would have been.

Love a dark & stormy. Rum and ginger is a good combo, plus the name... appeals to me.
Wine.
any "white girl" where you don't taste the alcohol
Amaretto Sour, Espresso Martini, Ouzo coffee, and the less unusual but get context points: Cuba Libre and Irish Car Bombs
Amaretto Sour, French 75, or Gin Gin. Also lambics.
A straight whiskey, easy to sip it, easy to nurse all night if you're not feeling it. Mixers just make me feel nauseous.
Piscola
Simple, to the point and you can make it really sweet or really strong depending on your mood
Not the vodka that my friend and I just drank, that's for sure. I made it out okay but she threw up for like half an hour before passing out in my kitchen. It's okay, we got it all cleaned up, she's in an upright position with a pillow, and I'm typing this from my sleeping bag on the floor while my partner and I take turns watching her. It was supposed to be movie night but I think I gave her too big a dab
Im still eating from the chips she brought
Some good vodka. If I am getting into fancier stuff, I will enjoy a green faerie. Unfortunately good absinthe can get pricey and actual quality vodka can $30-40 for a bottle.
Love a good IPA, session IPAs are my go to since they're a little lighter on the cals.
At risk of sounding like a wine cave lib (couldn't find the emojis), wine. It's versatile AF, and small, independent, artisanal winemakers (many of them vinegrowers, too, a lot of the agricultural work behind wine is overlooked so much) are really cool people. It sucks that so much of the wine world has been taken over by the bourgeois and petit bourgeois, and their wannabe acolytes, and that it's become (it kind of always has been) such a strong class marker, when it's such a wonderful drink, and a great gateway drug to speaking about food in different ways. I very much hate people who feel superior just because they know a thing or two about wine, when it's a thing to enjoy, like all food should be.
