And I realized I completely forgot about Smirnoff. Insert Smirnoff between Stoli and Absolut on the quality vodka scale.

I also really like a couple of the vodka cooler type drinks - Stoli Citrona is the best but Smirnoff Ice and Triple Black are ok too.

 

[Blaine Skerry]

And, while on the subject, why do some people think that using Vodka is ok in a Martini and you can still call it a Martini? BLASPHEMY!

What about 007's vodka martini "shaken, not stirred"?

 

[Rob Tomlin]

What about 007's vodka martini "shaken, not stirred"?

Hey, I have no problem with the "shaken, not stirred" part. It's the "vodka" part I have a problem with!

Maybe you don’t Rob; but I do.

The point on shaking a martini is that the gin gets diluted with water from the ice during the shaking—anathema to a true martini lover.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Damn! Ya got me there, Lew!

1. Water

I do regular (almost weekly) work for a local web retailer called The Tea Table and I have tried and really gotten to like a lot of different teas.

2. Cinnamon Orange Spice is probably my general favorite.

3. Organic Peppermint is an amazing herbal. Nothing but pure peppermint. It soaks through your entire head. Makes a fabulous iced for a really hot day.

4. Strawberry Green is probably my favorite green. Either that or Cherry Green

5. Newcastle Brown Ale. My absolute favorite beer. Glad to see it mentioned already a couple times.

6. Espresso shake. Vanilla shake with an espresso added. Damn good.

7. MGD. Sometimes I just like a good wimpy American beer.

8. Tequiza. Kind of a margerita beer.

9. Margerita. About the only mixed drink I ever have.

10. Dr. Pepper. I rarely drink soda, but when I do, this is probably my favorite.

 

[Angelo.M]

Extra dry martini: what to order when you don't want to say "gimme a glass of cold gin."

Can't remember where I heard that...

 

[Christ Reynolds]

pretty expensive here in the states, but i like the irn bru soda a lot.

[Sandi Miles]

1. Coffee - Nabob Summit
2. Hot Chocolate - Tim Hortons
3. Orange Juice - Minute Maid

 

[Jack Briggs]

I had no idea there were other beverages other than coffee and beer. Amazing. What do all these other things taste like?

 

[Zen Butler]

1. Aquafina
2. Hennessey (love the XO, but funds usually only permit VS. Luckily Cognac is so popular in Little Saigon, it runs about 20% cheaper than anywhere else)
3. 2001 Chimay Grande Reserve Blue Trappist Ale (still have 6 bottles)
4. Stone's Ruination IPA
5. Starbuck's RED EYE +insert backlash here+

 

[Erik.Ha]

1. Banana Flavored Quik (Very hard to find...)
2. Big Red
3. Water with a splash of Hawaiian Punch
4. Water with a splash of white grapefruit juice
5. Saphire
6. Gentlemen Jack

 

[Jim J]

Gotta go with Kettle One for my House Vodka. Otherwise Chopin for special occasions

I'll take Bombay Sapphire Gin too. (you guys tried 'Ten' ?)

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA is my current favorite beer (otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy Guiness)

I never say no to Sambuca (on the Martinis SHaken Not stirred site I have submitted ('buca-tini' Yeah I know blasphemy!)

Seven Up

Love a Coke in those little bottles

Earle Grey: Hot

Huge fan of Rodney Strong (Cab Sauv or Merlot) Otherwise I stick to the Sonoma 'Valleys' (russian river, alexander, simi, etc)

Arizona Green Tea (iced)

Cafe Americano

 

[Citizen87645]

Never been much of a drinker, but I have no problem downing a few bottles of Wyder's Pear Cider. Doing so usually lays me out pretty good. Yes, I'm a lightweight.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I love Guinness

me to, I don't drink alcohol very often but this I do like.


Anyway...
1. Coca-cola
Anytime of day or night.

2. 1919 Root Beer
Best root beer ever, you can only get it in gallon jugs or by the keg, putting it in a bottle would be an insult.

3. Apple Juice
My favorite of all juices

4. Hot Chocolate
Hey its damn cold up here alright, I need this.

5. Chocolate Milk

6. Water
has to be somewhere here right?

7. Mountain Dew
If I can't have coke, this is what I want

8. Coke
9. Coke
10. Coke
