What should we drink to.....

As a member of the brotherhood of whistle wetters I've served everything from good old beer to cocktails that could strip paint off the wall!
Also in my travels i've come across the strangest drinks imaginable. Drinks such as- port and coke- Lime, soda and black ale!, and those are some of the more tame examples!

So tell me, what is your favourite drink, where do you drink it( pub, club, etc...) and whats the strangest drink you've come across....

Re: What should we drink to.....

favourite drink: "blue dream" (2cl blue curaçao, 2cl gin, 1cl lemon juice, one of them red cherries), or the fast-made less alcoholic version: sweetened lemon juice+some blue curaçao, add curaçao till it's the nice colour of green. I hardly ever drink it though.
Recently drunk home-made "Baileys" was nicer than the normal one.

Strangest drink, mm must be one of my own inventions.(don't remember any very strange drinks)
Caramel+milk+batida de coco+white rum
You could leave the caramel on the bottom and add a small spoon or just mix it.

I like my milk and cookies, just the thing as one sits beside a crackling fire on a Winter's night curled up with a good book.....

Re: What should we drink to.....

I worked as a barman for about 6mths a few years back and the strangest request was a drink called a muddy puddle which was a mix of orange juice and coke and it was aptly named as it was a muddy brown colour

My favourite tipple is Harp irish lager which I can't get anymore since I moved back to Scotland so now its corona extra with a slice of lime

Re: What should we drink to.....

I'm a bit fond of zombies myself. They mostly contain rum.

That said, I'm usually in pubs that wouldn't know how to make a cocktail to save their lives, so I tend to drink anything approximating a real ale, or Becks.

Strangest drink? "Snake wine" in China - seemed to be some sort of rice wine or something, but with snakes in the bottle as well. Interesting.

I stand corrected! You are clearly a connoisseur of juice beverages!

They are always such an awful effort to prepare for, I tend to pity the bartender and ask for something I wouldn't bother to make for myself.
