Absolutely love this whiskey [ATTACH=CONFIG]62881[/ATTACH] Best Vodka I have tasted so far is this one [ATTACH=CONFIG]62885[/ATTACH] This is one of the best rums i've tasted [ATTACH=CONFIG]62889[/ATTACH] But my Brother got me a bottle of this stuff for my bday which I'm getting tomorrow, cant wait to try it [ATTACH=CONFIG]62893[/ATTACH] Only every tried this Tequila, any one know a better one? [ATTACH=CONFIG]62897[/ATTACH] Favorite ways of having them are either straight with a bit of Ice or in one of the following. Moscow mule -Vodka, ginger beer and lime Cuba libre - Rum, coke and Lime Mojito - Rum, mint, sugar syrup and soda water ( I can never get this one right tho :( ) Long Island Ice tea - Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Rum, Triple sec and a dash of coke also cant go wrong with a good Tequila slammer - Tequila, salt and lemon What do you lot recommend in trying then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted May 17, 2012 also cant go wrong with a good Tequila stuntman - Snort salt, Down Tequila, Squeeze lemon in your eye. Fixed! I'm not a big fan of neat spirits, if i'm at home I rarely drink anything but water/squash! On a night out, I go for 8 pints of Cider [NOT Magners/Strongbow - I'm from the west country thankyou.] then onto Havana 5 & Coke or Hennessy & Coke. I do like a good Mojito or LIIT though - good choices. I despise Sambuca! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daleyboy 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Thats one thing I cannot stand! :gag: Each and everyone to his own mate, my second and third would be JD then a nice drop of courvoisier.... :smug:........ and any beer thats dark brown, London Pride by Fullers.... :thumbleft: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted May 17, 2012 That is very true indeed. I do love my ales too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainredeye 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Hendrix gin is good although a little pricey! Always liked glenmorangie, they have done different types finished off in varying casks , dark rum cask was my favourite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted May 17, 2012 jack daniels single barrel! yum yum bunderberg rum is nice aswell Worked in bundaberg for 3 months picking sweet potatoes when I was in oz and had plenty of bundy rum, very nice, didn't realise it was so widely known till I'd been there :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevef182 0 Posted May 18, 2012 I enjoy the odd whisky or two, with Laphroaig as a personal favourite. http://www.laphroaig.com/ And I'm definitely an Ale man (Pride, Doom Bar, TEA, Badger) over lager etc! I used to live above a country pub for 3 years and by the time I left was fairly well educated in the world of beer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) BBQs & camping I drink Cider but if im in the house or eating out I like big big Reds usually Australian. Durrif = heaven If its top shelf then its Hendricks Gin with cucumber, Ice & Tonic.... ideal on a sunny day. Vodka I do like that Finlanda stuff but Grey Goose is my favourite - Yum. I may get shot down for this but I cant go anywhere near whiskey of any quality, I wish I did because I know loads of folk who enjoy it & when they describe the pleasure they get from a good one i like the sound of it: warming, soothing, smokey etc.....

yacobwood 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Long Island Ice tea - Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Rum, Triple sec and a dash of coke I honestly belive i might just die after that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Can't believe no-one has mentioned Rum-Bongo!! My serious answer though, is Port. I love the stuff, esp white Port. However, I'm no connoisseur and have yet to try a really expensive one. I usually buy Dow's. Anyone else like Port? Any recommendations?

Swompy 0 Posted May 18, 2012 I honestly belive i might just die after that.... Its is a nice drink, not as harsh as you might think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickdonald 10 Posted May 18, 2012 Only every tried this Tequila, any one know a better one? [ATTACH=CONFIG]62897[/ATTACH] That Tequila, they have a wall full of it in a bar in Liverpool (Cava), every flavour you can think of, baked bean is a personal favorite.... id stay away from chilli though.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 18, 2012 Got a bottle of absinthe lastnight from the drink shop, the la fee stuff. I don't really drink very often at all, but its a nice drink when made up properly. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V-Dubstar 0 Posted May 18, 2012 I honestly belive i might just die after that.... On paper it looks like it would melt your insides, but somehow, christ knows what, it doesn't taste harsh at all!! In fact, it's bloody lovely!! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 9 Posted May 18, 2012 Another vote for Hendrick's Gin.......with Fever Tree tonic and cucumber, the price is irrelevant when it tastes that good! Rather partial to a Jameson's 1780 (known these days as 12 Year Old Special Reserve) too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted May 18, 2012 Can't believe no-one has mentioned Rum-Bongo!! we went through a Branta phase - brandy fanta! not great if im honest :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted May 18, 2012 we went through a Branta phase - brandy fanta! not great if im honest :) Used to love Cherry Brandy and Coke. Cherry Coke............mmmmmmmmmmmm The Jose Guervo Tequila is good stuff too, couldn't get enough of the stuff on my honeymoon in Hawaii. I also quite like absinth. Its really not that harsh at all. :thumbleft: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted May 18, 2012 Makers Mark bourbon and Jack Daniels for sure for me. Long Island Iced Tea is awesome. I also love lots of the eastern beers- Tiger, Singha, Kingfisher etc. Actually have a big bottle of Singha on the go now as its my birthday and I'm not out tonight.

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted May 18, 2012 we went through a Branta phase - brandy fanta! not great if im honest :) Rum-Bongo was courtesy of mic_vr (and someone else??) at BVF a couple of years ago and was reeeeeally nice :) Branta doesn't sound quite as good!
