| Favorite drinks Posted: 7/3/2008 1:26:13 AM | Since we have people from many different places on our planet. I was curious what favorite drink people have.
As for myself, my drink of choice is pastis. My favorite pastis is pernod & water.
My second choice is Murphy's Stout, failing that Guinness. | |

| Favorite drinks Posted: 7/3/2008 10:13:45 AM | Champagne! In all its forms. I'll even drink cheap Cook's champagne. I like to experiment w/ different champagne c o c k tails too. So far I'm having the most fun w/ this rose syrup I got at the Middle Eastern grocery store and drizzling it down the side of the flute then pouring in the champagne...very girlie and pink.
Also...bellinis! I would welcome a good recipe for those too! | |

| Favorite drinks Posted: 7/3/2008 11:47:42 AM | Belini ...I found this recipe on The Food Network website.
This is Emeril's recipe: Frozen Belini 1 pound frozen peaches, sliced and thawed 1 cup sugar 2 cups water 1 bottle champagne
In saucepan, over medium heat, combine the peaches, sugar, and water. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. In a blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Add a enough water to thin the puree out into a peach juice. Pour into a shallow dish and freeze until firm. Remove the peach mixture from the freezer and allow to sit out for 10 minutes. Using a large spoon, scrape the mixture back and forth to form a slushy mixture. Fill each flute glass 2/3 of the way with Champagne. Add the slushy peach mixture and serve. | |

| Favorite drinks Posted: 7/7/2008 1:37:15 PM | | ..OK..I'm sorta famous at my local "everybody knows my name place" for drinking Red Dog. But when you get right down to it..I like to check out any number of different beers...going to a micro-brewery and ordering a sampler with 7 or 8 types is a lot of fun. Especially if you have a designated driver...LOL | |

| Favorite Drinks Posted: 7/7/2008 7:45:25 PM | I'm having a whiskey coffee in between keystrokes any yes BeenThere it is Jim Beam.
Guinness is so bitter! I heard it's healthy is that true? I don't think it's any more or less healthy than another beer just brewed with a darker variety of malted barley. One thing I know from my home brew days is that stout is by far the most easiest and resilient beers to make. Sure don't know how they command those high prices. My favorite beer is an open one.
Pour 1/2 of Everclear, 1 can of pineapple juice and one Koolaid pack into gallon jug. Shake well. Add 2 liter of pop... get ready to have some fun... Wow

| Favorite Drinks Posted: 7/9/2008 6:03:14 AM | | The cool thing is, you really cannot taste the alcohol. Two gallons will get a lot of people (7-10) pretty silly in no time flat. I haven't made any since my highschool days, but you never know when you are going to need a recipe like that... try it, it's yummalicious. | |
|
| Favorite drinks Posted: 7/9/2008 6:39:31 AM | Margaritas of course, Mmmm Yummyyy  | |
|
| Favorite drinks Posted: 7/9/2008 2:44:34 PM | We've covered mojitos, beer and margaritas...and for a belini, you can just mix peach nectar w/ champagne. That would be my "lazy girl" version of a belini.
My sister makes this drink about once per year. She calls them pineapple yummies. I call them evil in a glass. The inspiration came from a steakhouse in Chicago that makes these (Sullivan's? I'd give credit where credit was due if I could remember - and my lapse is a result of too much time passed, not too much alcohol imbibed).
Cut up one pineapple. Put it in a big jar. Pour in a bottle of good vodka. Let it sit for about a month. When it's ready, remove the pineapple. Shake the vodka with ice to cool. Strain and serve.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil! | |

try it, it's yummalicious There was a board game called 'Pass Out' meant to be played with beer. You roll the dice, land on a square take a chug go around the board 4 or 5 times and the first one who passes out looses. In my younger days a few of my friends had the brilliant idea of playing the game with Everclear. None of us has any recollection after the first 2 squares. We would use 3 bottles in a cooler full of wine coolers however they were 3 airplane size bottles. | |

Now that Coca-Cola has Vanilla Coke, that is also great with rum! | |
