Several cups of tea in the morning and again in the evening. A litre of water on my way to & from work. A fair wack of coffee during the day. Red wine at home, or beer at pubs & restaurants. However I won't say no to a good quality spirit without mixers - vodka, whiskey, brandy, tequila, bring it on

[Khayness]

Well it'd be easier to list what I don't drink: herbal based liquor (like Jaeger, tequila)

Favourite drink: palinka and absinthe prepared the French way.

As for beer I drink ale or stout. I drink lager rarely.

Absinthe is derived from herbs...

16 year old Lagavulin with one ice cube. (Single malt scotch for those unfamiliar with it)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Never, ever put ice in good single malt scotch! That's a cardinal sin, which will quite possibly earn you an extra red hot poker in certain orifice, inserted by the god of whiskey in the afterlife!

Seriously, what ice does to whiskey is kill the taste, which isn't necessary or desireable when the whiskey is a good one; only add ice to whiskey when it's some cheap blended whiskey that tastes like turpentine.

With 16 year old Lagavulin - a wonderful single malt - you don't want to cool it, quite the opposite, you want it warm, to get the full aroma. This means drinking it from a thin glass that you can warm in your hands. Optionally, you may add a few drops of (warm) water - no more than a few drops though, the idea isn't to dilute the whiskey.

Try it - warm the whiskey, then take a sip, and after you swallow, blow air through your nose. (That enhances the aftertaste). You'll never want to have to even THINK of single malt scotch and ice in the same sentence.

My favorite drink: Laphroaig 15 y.o. single malt scotch. (From the same region as Lagavulin, also smoky) Warm. Dare to put ice in mine, and I might just kick you in the nuts.

Whatever's closest.

Tried it. Sorry, but I prefer it with a bit of ice (we're talking a small cube here, not your standard big chunk from the cube tray). And you do need water to relesae the flavor.

Laphroig is another fine whiskey. I also enjoy Ardbeg and the Talisker.

I drink the boiled blood of French virgins once it's been suffused with herbs and spices from the Orient.

At the ice thing:

It is a fact though that if you cool the whiskey, you get less flavor, which is why ice is absolutely avoided by most single malt Scotch afficionados. To each their own, I guess.

Releasing the flavor works with a few drops of water, OR by warming the liquid. Both tend to produce the same result of bringing out the flavor, as much as cooling the liquid produces the opposite effect. Good single malt should be drunk much like cognac, and discerning whiskey establishments often serve it in a cognac glass.

Ardbeg is a fine whiskey too, and Talisker is nice, though it's not an Islay whiskey - I tend to prefer the smokiness of Islay malts. Though out of the Islay malts, I have to say that I'm not a big fan of Caol Ila - that has a pretty strong salty taste that I don't particularly care for.

Here, here to the fellow malt lover

To the bod that puts ice in his malt, save yourself some cash and buy a blend 

[Selene Moonsong]

When I am out with friends, I like to sip Drambuie during dinner, or a nice red wine. At a nightclub, I will usually have a Rusty Nail or two (Drambuie & Scotch). Oh, and I like the Rusty Nail on the rocks (specifically; two ice cubes), which I find quite pleasant.

Guys, I don't tell you how to drink your whiskey. Don't tell me how to drink mine.

[thepiebaker]

i only drink the blood of my enemies

[insochris]

most beers, tequila for shots (no salt or chaser), and either scotch/coke or rye/ginger ale for mixers.

[Norskatt]

Vodka Martinis- blueberry, apple, pomegranate, dirty...you name it. I love all martinis except the ones made with gin

Cosmopolitan


Dry Red or White Wines (I hate sweet wines)


Magner's Hard Cider

Guinness


I am not a fan of whiskey, scotch, tequila, gin and I don't drink rum often. I dislike almost all beer as well.

[Quixal]

After some bad experiences, I now stick to only drinking liquids.

[Mack_Attack]

Rye and Ginger Ale

As for beer, I typically go for Granville Island Brewing or Keith's.

Not loads of herbs, like Jaeger, Becherovka, Hubertus

Żubrówka contains herb aswell, and it's good.

Don't be picky! 90% of them I won't stomach for enjoyement.
