Ok, I myself like to partake in drinking some adult beverages every now and then. Now that summer's coming up, I find myself wanting to try some new cocktails. I usually stick with white wine and the occasional mojito if it's a really good one. Lately I discovered Moscow Mules and they are tasty! So what's your favorite drink...beer, wine...other? Let's discuss...and maybe drink too : )

I don't drink lot any more, but it was 95% beer with some Jack Daniels thrown in on occasion.

There's a program on Spike I like called Bar Rescue. A bar will be failing, so they call in Jon Taffer of Bar Rescue. He will come in, see everything they're doing wrong, give them holy hell, then rebuild their bar, including new food and drink menus.

The drinks they come up with always sound pretty tasty. I don't write down the recipes, but have thought about it. But, to make up all that they have, I'd have to have a fully stocked liquor cabinet.

See my neighbors literately have a fully stocked bar. They are into making all kinds of cocktails...like Sunday they made me a cucumber margarita which was delicious. Everything was fresh even the margarita mix, they made their own. I'm too lazy to make things that are that involved but I'll drink them if someone else wants to pour it for me!

While in Florida, I had a delicious blueberry mojito. It was fresh with fresh berries and no pre mix shit. Perfect for a hot summer day!

I mostly drink whiskey"s mosty Bourbon and american whiskey but in the summer I like trying different combo nations of wine and fruit juices for Sangria . when it comes to beer i am in the middle of a Leinenkugel summer shandy binge . It a great summer beer .

I wish I was more of a beer drinker! Living in Michigan, we have more craft beer here than most other places. I think there are over 100 craft breweries in the state and more popping up all of the time. It's a huge thing here. I myself love Stella Artois and a good cold Coors Light. Also Canadian beer like Labatt and Molson sometimes too.

I had a Moscow Mule this weekend, I have only had one once before and I enjoyed it...I think it's ginger beer, vodka and something else. Served in a fancy copper mug. Cheers!

I am a whisky man....scotch whisky like Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Kilchoman. When I visit Kwon in Thailand I drink whatever they put in front of me as long it is not beer. Thaiwhisky or their local moonshine made of pineapple....

Pineapple moonshine you say????

Yes...first time I tasted it was at Songkran....the water festival....Kwon and I met som guys at the village tempel...they wanted me to taste it and since it is not polite to say no... I have to admit I was skeptical to begin with...but it was not bad...

Yikes! That would knock me flat of my ass! I do love some pineapple though!

I loooooove wine. I've had more dry than sweet, I think. I've only been 21 since June 14th so I'm new to the drinking world. I've never had beer, vodka, tequila, etc. Haha.

Oh you have SO much to try : )

pretty much anything part from sambuca... and not really a fan of tequila. When I was little I wanted to be a pirate so now I drink rum because you know...pirate life.

I really hate sweet wine and sweet cider because those are what I drank when I first started drinking at like 15 so now whenever I drink them it just brings back baaad memories. I started working in a club at 18 and that's when I properly got into vodka and actually appreciated GOOD vodka lol. For the last 2 years I've worked in a pub that specialises in beer and ale from all around the world so it's opened by eyes to the world of proper ale! Some is bit yuck but I quite like a lot of it. But my go-to is vodka and really really dry white. And Maggie moscow mules are one of my favourites, I love anything with ginger!

Oh something else that is beyond disgusting is something called raki. I think you only get it in Turkey but it's an insanely strong anise flavour drink that looks like milk when mixed with water. It's really really really not good.

I had white wine the other night...Hazlitt White Cat. And I always have Hazlitt Red Cat. The white wine knocked me out soooo much! But...I also drank the whole bottle in a half hour, so... XD

I use to drink rum and coke when I 1st started to drink and beer. The next drinks I found I liked were strawberry daiquiris and tom collins. As I have gotten older I like to drink wines. Right now I like the Barefoot Wines pink moscato or the white moscato. I will drink shots of 360 Double Chocolate Vodka and some Smirnoff Vodka.

How they make Barefoot Wine:

Walt. Look up "Failblog Grape Stomp Fail" on YouTube. You won't be sorry. It's hilarious. XD

Thanks Walt!!

That's one of my favorite Lucille Ball scene! She was so funny and could be so serious. She did things in television that women were not suppose to do back then.

Oh.My.God. I have discovered alcoholic root beer. I tried Not Your Father's Root Beer last night and the stuff is amazing! Next time I am going to make a root beer float with it : )
