This thread is for those that like to drink booze - perhaps sometimes as a replacement for a meal, or just with a meal.
Post your favorite cocktail.
Mine is a Manhattan - two and 1/2 shots of Bullet Rye, 1 shot of sweet Vermouth, three dashes of bitters. Stir and drink.
I've always been partial to Gin and Tonic. Easy to make and mighty delicious.
Back in my drinking days it was Beam and Coke
What's wrong with Vodka?
OK, you can add some ice since it's hot out.
Just beer! Budweiser to be exact, ok let the flaming begin!
The only booze for me is beer and not ghetto Budweiser! LOL
Moscow Mules
I rarely drink, but like a nice Tanqueray and tonic. Or a frozen margarita at On The Border, no salt please. Beer makes me feel like I have a soccer ball in my belly.
I was a whisky and PBR guy. Can't say I miss those days at all though. Haven't had a hangover in 4+ years, and it's amazing...
For cheap beer, I love me some bud light time.
For good beer my favorites available here are probably Avery IPA, Ska Modus Hoperandi, and most any of the Yeti variations from Great Divide.
Anyone been to Colorado Plus in Wheat Ridge yet? 56 taps of Colorado beer. Service is hit or miss but beer is great.
I have no idea what it's called, but my wife made a new cocktail on the 4th and everyone loved it.
1 part Jack Daniels
1 part triple sec
somewhere between 1/2 & 1 part whiskey sour (by taste)
a splash of sprite/fresca/sierra mist, also more or less to taste.
Generally, I'll just have a nice rum and coke once in a while, but if she likes the above enough to get frisky a little more often, I say "ok". Feel free to try it out on your own ladies.
Makers and 7 is my go-to mixed drink.. But if I am making concoctions then its Jamaican Ten Speeds.
Only in a Copper MugQuote:

PBR working outside,
Mojito, moscow mule or a Dark and Stormy with a cigar in the heat of the day
IPA with BBQ or anytime
Tanq Ten and Tonic sunset or with Fish
Shiraz with a Steak
Whiskey neat for evening smokes
Damn I'm thirsty
With or without the banana?Quote:

Sam Adams seasonals for when I want decent beer.
Tangueray and tonic with just a small slice of lime for summer days and weekends.
Crown or Glenlivet on ice when I'm in the mood.
With dinner I usually like a nice red blend. Cupcake Red Velvet is my current favorite, but we try whatever is new at Costco about once a week.
In the words of Goose: "The list is long, but distinguished..." Depends on my mood and the location- for cheap beer, my go to is PBR (flame if you must, but hey, can't beat the price and I, personally, think it tastes just fine); for a more upscale but not that upscale beer- 90 Shilling, Easy Street Wheat, Batch 19, or the home team fave: Coors Original. For liquor- I prefer blended scotch, like Chivas, Irish- Jameson, or a nice Bourbon, such as Wild Turkey (if it's good enough for Hunter S. Thompson to drink a bottle a day, it's good enough for me to have a glass once in a while). Merlot- my favorite is Ecco Domani.
For the days that I'm in BBQ mode is either Jim & coke or Coors light. Anything else that is free... is welcomed!!
What's the best kind of beer?Quote:

I like:
7 & 7. And once in a while I'll just have some Seagrams 7 shots. It's a whiskey.
Vanilla Vodka by Smirnoff in Iced Tea or Coke Zero or OJ.
Crown XR
Blue Moon beer
1554 or fat tire beer
Leinenkugel Summer Shanty (beer and lemonade.). If you haven't had this go get a 6pk now!
Bear
You should try Orange Gatorade with that- tastes just like dreamscicle... dangerously delicious (because the electrolytes and all)Quote:

I drink beer mostly and my favorite beer is probably Miller High Life. [Beer] I like to mix beer with a few shots sometimes and I usually chose Jim Beam for shooters, or anything good I can find in the 99 cent bin.
Bourbon rocks...
Beer is not drinking.
7&7
Makers out the bottle
Beer, ain't picky
above is in no particular order!!! [Beer]
Drinking fireball whiskey and dr pepper 10.
Without.. I just want booze.. I don't want garnishes in my way.Quote:

Whiskey with a 1-2 ice cubes lately.
I don't drink much, but I tend towards darker beers (Bass is my "go to" beer). Tonight, however, I felt the need to unwind a helluva day, so I'm quaffing Cap'n Morgan and Mtn Dew, a little concoction I've dubbed "Rocket fuel"...
Yes... all of it. Everything is situation dependent of course.
No cheap tequila though. Tonight started with a Coors Light Tallboy and finished with 2 Miller Lights... of course.. out of a can..
Scotch - Single Malts
Gin - Rocks, 2 drops Extra Dry Vermouth, 2 Spanish Queen olives... stir, sip, repeat
Rum - The Captain
Vodka - Again, as long as it isn't cheap
Just about every great beer from Colorado except browns
Wines - Dark-Dry Reds, Mix of Whites
Of course, we went to the Chop House the other night and the had brand new copper mugs from a vodka company, delicious.Quote:

I like most any beer that's well made.
I also make my own beer and wine of many different kinds. This weekend we'll be bottling Riesling and some Peach Riesling wine with friends who have 150 Riesling vines in the hills nearby. I helped pick the grapes last fall and crafted the wines. We should get about 230 bottles. I racked them a week ago and am happy with how they came out.
Two weeks ago we bottled some Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo that have been aging since 2011. We'll bottle our 2012 wines over the next couple months, mostly Cab Franc, some Merlot and Cab Sauv, and a few peach wines. I make red wines in a rich, full body style. Our region is producing some of the finest Cabernet Franc and Riesling wines, and 2012 will be an exceptional vintage here. Glad I made a lot of it because wine grapes will be harder to come by this fall.

Stranahan's or Basil Hayden's, either neat or on the rocks, with ginger ale back and a cigar.
And about every few weeks, I'll walk into a liquor store and buy a six pack of something I've never heard of before.
