Favorite 'relax' drink of choice

Scotch on the rocks

On a regular basis I drink aged rum with lemon and Cocacola (Cuba libre), the Venezuelans rums are among the best rums in the world... but when I have a chance to sit and really relax and enjoy the moment I drink scotch on the rocks while smoke a good cuban cigar (Chivas Regal 12y.o. and a Romeo & Julieta Short Churchill)

 

32 oz glass stein. (You can find them in housewares, most any "big box.") Fill to 1/2 w/ crushed ice, cover ice with Everclear. Top off w/ Grenadine. Serve with a cherry and a cab ride home.

Named after a line in a Bill Maher stand-up routine: "F*ck Me Like The Big Steam Piston In An Old Iron Train."

 

Gray Goose on the rocks, 3 queen-size jalapeno-stuffed olives

 

I use to drink Jack Daniels...Then the Dr. Told me I needed to go light on the drinking so I would fill my glass and show the Jack an ice cube then put the ice cube back in the ice tray. Told the Dr. I was drinking light...He didn't buy it...Then I found out that Jack Daniels also gives money to some anti-gun group I believe it is the brady bunch so I quite drinking except for a bear now and then. My Dr. is happy

 

Iced Tea with no lemon and no suger just ice.

Gave up drinking a long time ago. When you lose your house because your dirnking then it is time to stop.

 

For a long time it was Talisker's with 2 ice cubes.

Although these days I am totally LOVING the whole Glenfiddich line. They have a triple wood 15-year-old that is just awesome; and their 18-year-old is smooth enough to skate on.

 

I've always been a beer man. I've given up on quantity and go for quality now. Just about any dark beer. Sam Adams Boston Lager is my favorite but once in a while Guinness serves me well. I'm still in the process of trying at least one of every beer my local packie has in stock.

I believe everyone who drinks beer should try a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout at least once.

 

Used to be fond of George Dickel on the rocks (fine Tennessee sipping whiskey) but I learned it makes me a bit grumpy. Now it is the occasional dark Texas beer like Real Ale co. Brown Ale (when I can find it) or Shiner Bohemian Black.

I am assured my beer will still be in the fridge when I want one because no one else in the house can stand dark beer. If I buy "regular" beer, I might get two out of a six pack.

 

Glenfiddich... exelent!

In here we can't find the Glenfiddich brand, but I tasted the Glenfiddich 18 y.o. in Aruba and is exelent, soft & sweet... It was the first time that I drink single malt, because always I drink blended scotch... try the Chivas 18 y.o or Johnnie Walker Gold Label they are smooth too, but they are blended so the flavors are more complex... even the JW Gold Label needs to be freezed before to release better all their flavors...

 

Alcoholic drinks are an acquired taste. I've never acquired a taste for any of them. If I do have a drink, I have a whiskey sour. Otherwise Coca-Cola please......

 

well since i'm only 19 i won't mention the alcoholic beverages...

but i like a can of cold MILKIS
its a carbonated Korean drink with soy milk in it and it tastes like sweet nectar

 

Scotch when I choose to drink alcohol, but my drink of choice is iced tea. Peach flavor, if I can get it.

 

I like the PHD pepper but I've been known to sip some whiskey once in a blue moon.

 

Alcoholic Beverages - 7&7, Screwdriver or Corona W/Lime Wedge

Non Alcoholic - Southern Sweet Tea, Pepsi or Coke

 

Seriously, one of the best ales in the world. If you have a chance you should try it.

 

Blended whisky just has too much going on, and the flavor can be very homogeneous. I like the smoky, oaky goodness of a single malt. When I was a blended scotch drinker (and I still don't turn it down) I lived for the Chivas Regal. Probably the best of the blends.

Don't fall for the Johnnie Walker hype. I hate those guys who think blue label Johnnie is awesome just because they charge 200 bucks a bottle for it. It's only 24 years old and it's the same stuff as in the black label bottle. Apparently an extra 6 years in the barrel is worth an extra 160 bucks a liter...

Remember, good whisky will be smooth and tasty at any age (Although older=smoother), and price does not equal quality! My favorite thing to do with whisky snobs is fill 6 glasses with six different scotches, and watch them pick a Balvenie double wood (30 bucks a liter) over Johnnie Walker blue (200 bucks a liter) every time.

 

When the beer is cheap Mexican urine like Corona, ya' gotta put something like a lime in it to make it palatable. IMHO Corona is the WORST beer from across the border. Modelo Negro. Not half bad.

 

If you want to pour me 6 glasses of scotch, I'll be down to CT sometime!
