[Aristus]

3. Sounds good!

I'll have to try it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. it is a huge beer - my wife and I split it - nearly 10% alcohol! you can't read through it...

just like we like em!

[Aristus]

5. With a good stout,

you shouldn't be able to see light through it!...

[HarveyDarkey]

10. I've not had that, but I'd love to try it.

We can't get New Holland here, so I have to take what I get when I go to Illinois. I have had Dragon's Milk, it was stellar. The Imperial Hatter was pretty good too.

[burnodo]

2. rum and coca-cola

nt

[Arctic Dave]

6. Water. I'm at work until the 13th.

[TrogL]

7. Coke

[Lady Freedom Returns]

8. Got one for me?

[Aristus]

9. Of course!

[In_The_Wind]

11. Seltzer with strawberries.

Pepsi One is still out of stock.

We were packing away winter clothes all day.
Which ... meant that I had to try on my summer shorts. They still fit!

[Aristus]

12. Ah, the time of year when the summer clothes come out...

[In_The_Wind]

13. And off and on again all afternoon!

[Aristus]

14. Yow!

I'll be in my bunk...

[In_The_Wind]

17. I was ...

[one_voice]

22. I bought some great strawberries...

yesterday and had them with whipped cream--I have other ideas for the whipped cream.

Got my summer clothes out too, love the summer colors--though I do love the rich winter colors too. My hair is done with my summer colors. I'm all ready for the summer, bring it on.

[Aristus]

23. Sounds wonderful. All of it.

Including the whipped cream...

Speaking of which, I had my first taste of Whipped Cream-flavored vodka yesterday. It was incredible. I could drink that all day. I would have asked for another shot at the bar, but mine was the last. Not surprised they ran out of it...

What is your hair's summer color? (Oops. We're talking about that again... )

[one_voice]

30. Whipped Cream flavored Vodka...

so yummy!! Straight. Also very good with orange soda or strawberry juice, if you like a mixed drink. I like many of the flavored vodkas.

Yeah, the summer color..lol I just got it done again. I may post a pic...

[Aristus]

32. Yeah, the bartender also mentioned orange soda.

Called it an alcoholic Dreamsicle. I'll definitely have to try that!

I drink fairly standard "guy" drinks; Scotch and soda, vodka and tonic, etc. So I don't mind dipping into the exotic flavors now and then.

I'll never forget when I discovered Stoly Blueberry. Great stuff. The thing I like best is that most flavored vodkas are clear, not colored. (Although I understand Russian distillers can make vodkas that are every color of the rainbow...) So I can order a nice flavor, and anybody watching me will think it's just standard vodka.

And that reminds me: if anyone asks you what vodka Russians prefer, I have it on good authority that they drink Russian Standard. A classmate of mine from PA School is Russian, and let me in on the secret.

[one_voice]

34. That's what it tastes like...

I could drink those all night long. Of course I wouldn't be able to stand up...but that's another thread all together.

I love flavored vodka. I have Ciroc coconut right now, it's a nice alternative to coconut rum.

Haven't have Stoly Blueberry, but I will be looking for it.

Interesting little tidbit on the Russian preference.

[Aristus]

38. My next move is to try another of the latest flavors: Cake!

BTW, if you're going to drink until you can't stand up, vodka is the one to drink. It has the lowest hangover index of any of the hard liquors. The rule of thumb is, the darker the liquid, the higher the hangover index. One of the many reasons I don't drink Jaegermeister!

I shared an apartment once with a guy who drank Jaeger like it was going out of style. His hangovers were brutal.

So, stick with vodka...

[In_The_Wind]

33. Indeed! Bring it on!

Love summer!

[one_voice]

35. Yup..

exactly.

[In_The_Wind]

37. Then off to a relaxing soak

[Aristus]

39. *Gulp!* I'll be...

....well, you know where I'll be...

Nice pic, I_T_W!

[In_The_Wind]

40. Dreaming ...

[Aristus]

41. Wow. You're still up?

Thanks for the dream-maker...

[In_The_Wind]

42. Just up long enough to turn the TV off.

16. OY Dr. Brown's Celray

a nice egg cream ------a 1949 vintage Moxie ------A grape Cott soda ----water from the garden hose and some Old Overholt Rye Whiskey with Branch Water ........... I'm gonna feel it tomorrow

[tavernier]

18. No refreshing beverage of the alcoholic variety

for me until I lose twenty pounds. Wine is my biggest calorie surplus item. Sniff.

[RebelOne]

19. White wine. The only alcoholic beverage I ever drink. n/t

[Moondog]

20. At the moment

chilled apple schnapps. (Apfelkorn)

In lieu of dessert.

[Aristus]

24. Apple schnapps. That sounds incredible.

I've had peach schnapps, caramel schnapps, peppermint schnapps, etc. But never apple schnapps...

[Moondog]

25. Tastes like fresh apples.

Apfelkorn. It's a brand. You can get it on the east coast in larger cities, so I know it's here.

[Aristus]

26. I'll look around for it.

The apple was my favorite fruit long before I moved to the Apple State. I eat at least one a day. To be able to get it in alcoholic form is an embarrassment of riches...

[Moondog]

28. It's not like US type liqueur though. Less sweet.

The thing is, once you've had some, you're spoiled.

[one_voice]

36. That sounds delightful.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. pinot noir -

very nice for this very rainy evening.

[Newest Reality]

27. Mocha Java

[alarimer]

29. Ravenwood Zinfandel

And I'm watching The Paperboy. Weird movie. Though I have seem Matthew McConnaughey's ass more than once.

One thing you can count on, if he's in the movie, he will show his ass at some point. I think it's a rule in Hollywood or something. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

[Loryn]

31. A nice glass of 14 Hands Pinot Gris
