Do you drink? If so, what's your pleasure?

I love wine but since DH doesn't drink, I confine myself to the occasional social glass. Plus, I do most of the driving so I'm always the 'designated driver'.

Prefer red wine, occasionally a Sauternes or Port to finish a meal. I've had some really excellent sherries and Madeiras, also.

Otherwise, I enjoy high end sake - Dewazakura's Dewasansan is my current favorite. It's a drier sake (+4) but has a lovely floral finish. Excellent with food! I also enjoy Jefferson brand bourbon and whisky (Balvenie 14-yr)/whiskey (loved the Hibiki 12 yr but it's been discontinued).

I prefer my liquor straight. Cocktails remind me of alcoholic Kool-aid so I don't find them interesting. Too much sugar clogs my palate, LOL.

Oh, one exception - a very boozy eggnog, LOL. I make a cooked eggnog and spike it generously with Mt. Gay dark rum and Black Saddle bourbon. I bought the Black Saddle just to try it but thought it was absolutely horrible. So there I was, with a fifth of expensive bourbon I didn't like but had opened.

On impulse I threw some into the eggnog and OMG it was good! So every year I make 2 batches of nog and use up 1 cup of the Black Saddle bourbon. In another couple of years it'll be finished at last!
 

I mostly drink Wine. I will have a glass with dinner most evenings. On occasions I will have a bottle of beer, but that maybe one or twice a month. As for cocktails, I may order a Margarita when going out with my girlfriends.
 
Just because I like a good single malt whisky and gin, some people think that I like all spirits. I've been given whisky that I don't like, bourbon that it don't like and vodka, which I detest and a various other spirits too. I've discretely given them away.

Over Ice..
 
Not anymore. Did quite a bit formerly and got pretty good at it ... too good. But now that's behind me, and since the medications I take require abstinence, it's goodbye.
 
I drink rarely. When out, I usually order plain Coke / Pepsi or a Rum and Coke. Just one.

At home, I keep vodka on hand and will occasionally mix a splash (less than a full shot) with Lemonade.

Usually I drink water, Mountain Dew or Lemonade with no vodka
 
I drink homemade grape wine almost every day and usually a 6 ounce glass at bedtime. My beer of choice was PBR, but nows it is Coors Lite if I drink beer. (I can only handle a couple) We were at a horse race a few years ago and after a few beers sweetie had to help me to the car. I really enjoy a Jack & Coke if we are out and about, but a 750 ml bottle of Gentleman Jack cost $36, wish I could afford it, but that is life.:zz:

Enjoyed an Amaretto ( almond liquor), Grand Mariner ( orange liquor ) with lime juice the other day and it was delicious.

Keesh, are you saying they were mixed together, with a dash of lime juice? Like, over ice?
