What's your favourite tipple??

[paulchandler6]

You can't beat a glass of cold milk. But now and again a pint of Blonde or Dragonfly (bitter). Cheers

How do you manage to keep it that long? Why not name names? There's no such thing as a bad Scotch but as to the best..... Go for Bells as the best blend and Laphroaig (improving with age) as the finest malt .... although, I know, an acquired taste!

It's odd how British people drink that strange concoction - shows true grit and determination! I was brought up drinking it like most everyone else - not because I liked it but because it was there and it was what you drank at tea breaks &c.. One day, in my twenties I took my usual afternoon cup of tea and thought, "Jayzus this is awful .. why do I drink it?" .. and stopped. My wife tried to lure me into drinking it in various forms and I tried, really, really hard, I quite liked Lapsang, sort of but .... whenever I drank it I thought of something I'd rather be drinking even (whisper it) water

It's interesting that nobody has mentioned water on this thread. I must admit that I'm not keen on it and certainly wouldn't want to pay serious money for it but I do drink gallons of it while in Yorkshire or elsewhere that there's proper water from the ground. I must admit that I stopped drinking tapwater when I first went to London - even cleaned my teeth with wine (a very dry one) .... ... but have taken to it again where it's no longer processed through n sets of kidneys and sewage farms ....

[goosey]

Yorkshire Tea with milk and one sugar - nothing beats it .

funny you dont drink water nor me thats another disgusting drink,never was years ago in the 50s and 60s i liked it then when it did taste of just water.

[peppermint]

i like red wine in particular californian and Australian wines.
I like vodka and fruit juice too.

Non alcoholic - i absolutley love fruit smoothies. For a hot drink, peppermint tea is my fave, closely followed by nettle tea

Yorkshire tea, for hard water. ( I live in the south). Milk - no sugar (sweet enough). The thing I like about this brew is that it is a tea bag that can be shared with a friend.

[Garden Carpet]

Jack Daniels... Glayva...Water... green tea.. earl grey...and even better earl grey green tea.

Green tea seems to help in losing weight!!! I drink lots!!!

Jaki

[jdurbo]

Oh I do agree with all of the above. Also brandy and ginger, port and brandy, Black Bush, red wine. And I really like Real Ales, especially our local Titanic ales. There used to be a cracking pub in Stafford owned by the Titanic brewery and it had all of their brews plus guest ales. Sadly, last time I passed it, it was boarded up, the windows were broken and there was a rosebay willowherb growing out of an upstairs window.

Just to get away from all of that alcohol, a really nice summer drink is elderflower cordial topped up with tonic water.

[oseor]

Any good quality red or white wine for me And for the non alcoholic variety it has to be a good old fashioned cup of tea!

[Tormentil]

Alcoholic: Mulled wine on cold frosty night by a roaring radiator.

Other: I think it has to be a cup of tea, made to my liking.

[Paul mabbott]

Shame to put other things in with a good whisky or brandy ... one drink I used to like on a winters evening when I had a cold or whatever was rum and cloves. You can't seem to get the clove cordial nowadays.

You'd think that with a name like that it should have floated off to see

Sorry - this duplicated the one below!

Fascinating to see such a wide variety of taste amongst you all! Me...well, to be honest there's not much I don't like! I drink tea and coffee - usually the former in the mornings, as I need all the help I can get to kick-start the system these days! Like Paul I try to keep it Fairtrade.

I do drink a fair bit of water & fruit juice, mainly because I think I should. Not too struck on soft drinks.

One thing I do enjoy is a good-sized mug of hot-chocolate last thing at night, especially if there's a late-night film, or if the resident Hedgehogs are up & about and I'm in the mood for some wildlife-watching. It's Fairtrade again with a nice high cocoa content, and tastes even better if I can froth up the chocolate with some single cream, sugar and a shot or two of cognac or some Cockspur rum. Creme de menthe works well too, if I can pinch some without the missus looking. It sounds disgusting, I know, but tastes like a molten peppermint Aero!

Some of our local beers here are pretty good (West Berks, Morrell and Wychwood are all close by). However, if you push me to a favourite - and given my surname and the fact that that the Rugby World Cup is almost upon us - I think I'd go for a nice pint of McEwan's Champion to cheer myself up when the Scottish rugby team get it wrong again.

Or there's one called "Blandford Fly" which has a touch of ginger in it - great for warming you if you've been out in the cold.

In the same thread, I must also say that I'm fond of the odd glass of malt whisky (Dalwhinnie or Ardbeg for preference)

There is one drink, however, I absolutely detest above all others. Advocaat - ugh! Runny eggs in a bottle.

All the best,
Derek

[jdurbo]

Funny you should advocaat, my friend was only say the other day she loves advocaat and wine what a waste of wine i say!!

I can live without tea and coffee but I do like my pepsi max. When I'm out on the town it's gotta be cider and blackcurrant and to finish off a good night, a baileys and cointreau.

Ann

[SilverSwan]

Red wine for me, or filter coffee.

[JoeF]

Drumguish Malt Whisky, est 1895, bottled in Scotland by one of the smallest independent whisky distillers, only £9.99 from Boozebusters, and after a nice 70cl at 40% volume I guess that I really shoulndtd post no further ecxept to shay thatr Id bettr go now...

[Meles meles]

Tea, cant understand those that dont drink it. at least three or four cups in first thing in the morning. and a good cider. I do drink a couple of pints of milk at least a day but thats cos its ggod for the belly and certainly better than coke etc
