Do you have a particular drink you always order when going to a bar/pub?

[ToucanSpam]

I'm curious, because I almost always oder the same 2 or 3 things over and over, and I'm looking for some new ideas.

Last weekend I tried some new ones but they were not so great. Ideas? Also, what is your signature drink of you have one?

cosmo
lemon drop
margaritas

[jabumbo]

i usually get the cheap beer special when i go out, so its nothing special...

[ToucanSpam]

At least they sound interesting...all I order are vodka/lime, a 'fuck-me-upside-down' and a beer.

[P of R]

Yes, it's called beer.

[ToucanSpam]

[Freebasser]

I have - tis ok. I've also tried Guinness Bitter in a can which was... different :/

I've come to the assumption that I'm never going to taste a great Guinness til I finally get my shit together and float on over to Ireland.

i can't say i've ever tried guinness bitter...

but what are you on about?! we all know wolverhampton produces the best guinness around.

but seriously...you'd probably be able to find some dingy little 'locals only' pub somewhere that sells imported draught guinness.

[beastiegirrl101]

Stella
Pilsner Urquell
Blue Moon
Chimay (red, white and blue)

I'm a beer snob but usually all I can afford is Miller Lite or PBR.

[Rock]

make it two.

i'm buying
What time are we meeting up?

On a side note...the people who work at the handful of liquor stores I have frequent have been telling me to get Sailor Jerry instead of Captain because its better. Its good, spiced, but not that heavenly bite that the capo gives. Some people seem to like it better so check it out if you get a chance.

Liquor:
Cap'n and Coke

Lagers/Stouts/Ales/Barleywine (if they don't serve liquor):
Guiness
Dominion Milleniums
Dominon Cream Ale
Dominion Oak Barrell Stout

Shots:
Just about anything but tequila

Shooters:
Kamikazes
Lemon Drops
B-52s

Frat Boy Drinks:
Irish Car Bombs
Jaeger Bombs

Wine:
Don't know much about it, but I do know that I don't mind certain Chiantis.

[ToucanSpam]

B-52s are good, as are Mudslides.


Zombies are not good, plus they are expensive.

I'm not much impressed with 'sex on the beach' either, it seemed like a womans drink.

[Lindsey_1535]

Sleemans Honey Brown orrrrr if its cheap glass night MGD, but honey brown most most most of the time.

Pint of Harp.

[mickill]

Amaretto sour (no sugar rim)
Whiskey sour (no cherry)
Mojito
Stella

[abcdefz]

...I just get a shot of Bushmill's and a beer like Sam Adams or Anchor.

[Funky Pepp]

i don't remember the difference between a sex on the beach and a screaming orgasm they taste similar
hihihi...
no honestly, I know what you mean ;)

[b-grrrlie]

It depends a lot on the type of occation. Usually I'll have an ale, but they don't have any it's pear cider.
I can't usually afford to drink anything stronger, but on special occations I'll have a Rusty Nail (Scotch and Drambuie) or single malt Scotch.
After a meal I might have a little sherry or even Bailey's on the rocks.
At home I make drinks sometimes, one favourite is 43 and milk.

[little j]

if im drinking girlie then its a margarita or a fuzzy navel
if im not then its a bass or a fosters or a yuengling or a harp.

mojitos are damn refreshing and great with tapas

[Otis Driftwood]

Everyday: Absinthe
On a day I feel like a big spender: LIT or Tequilla Sunrise

[enree erzweglle]

kahluah and cream, although I stopped maybe 15 years ago

In social settings where people are drinking, unless I want to face down their questions about why I'm not drinking, I order coke and ice with something girlie sticking out of the top like a tiny paper umbrella.

Or I order plain milk in something like a ceramic buddha and have them stick a colorful accordion fan in his belly button. Maybe use a bendie twistie straw with it.

[ToucanSpam]

Hi Enree!

[enree erzweglle]

Hi Enree!
Hi, TS!

[GreenEarthAl]

Orange Juice. But I've since stopped trusting the Orange Juice in bars and not opt for nothing.

I was trying to be considerate and at least buy something. Maybe they should wash their glasses out better in the future.

[DroppinScience]

It's always...

Stella Artois
Alexander Keith's
Corona
Beck's

For shots, I do enjoy the occasional Jagermeister (I think that's the one... it's the one that tastes like black licorice).

[vickista]

im to young to get into a pub but id get a few of the following: carlsberg,hieneken, brass monkey, bourbon and coke, cougar and then sum vodka shots! :D

[miss_bhaven]

1st preference: Smirnoff Ice Double Black (y)
2nd: Vodka and Cranberry
3rd: Vodka and Red Bull

Hell yeah :p

[Rancid_Beasties]

Whatever is on tap cos i'm not getting fucked over by profiteering clubs and their 500% markups on spirits. Thats the main thing thats pissed me off about working in the liquor wholesaling industry, finding out exactly how much a bottle of house spirits costs the bar. Around $18 australian on average. From that they get 20 standard drinks. However they then charge 5-10 dollars for the drink depending on whether its straight, mixed with coke, or mixed with redbull or something. So they make 500% on spirits, but the only make a tiny percentage on beer. Kegs, after refrigeration costs, wastage etc come out at about $1.50 per pot, and alot of bars only charge $2-3 for a beer. So unless its a cheap spirits night, or they only have tooheys new on tap, i wouldnt even consider drinking spirits at a bar.

[Funky Pepp]

The better alternative to Jägermeister is Hiller Moorbrand.
It's a local cordial (?) with about 40% Vol. and you only get
it at my old hometown-area. You mustn't drink more than 2
an evening or you'll remember nothing...

If you are in Germany sometime, go and check it out :cool:

[ericlee]

Just Jameson. Either straight or on the rocks, depending on my mood.

[jabumbo]

i'm suprised enree isnt an IC light drinker...



and i must say, i detest taking shots. there are very few that i will actually accept

[enree erzweglle]

i'm suprised enree isnt an IC light drinker...I should find a way to automate this response: I have never had a beer in my life.

But I think you're right. I'd be an IC light beer drinker just for the calories factor.

I have a friend who does 45 minutes of cardio 4 times a week so that she can have 6 drinks on Friday and Saturday nights. Booze math.

Well that's one of the reasons I drink my hard liquor at home. And guess how much the booze prices are taxes? A friend of mine works on the ferry between Helsinki and Stockholm and she can buy totally tax free. I remember about 10 years ago she payed 11 Swedish cronas for ½ liter tequila.... In a bar you could hardly get a sip...
Now she collects Scottish whisky's, but they have a restriction how much they can take to land a month (guess why they give personel tickets to friends.... ;) )
