Very cold champagne
Crement de Loire
A really decent Rioja

willowstar · 04/04/2022 22:36

A very well made dry Manhattan

Classic champagne cocktail, not so much for the flavour, I just really enjoy the visual effect of the sugar dissolving in the champagne

Nikka Coffey malt whiskey (sadly discontinued)

RumJerrySailorRum · 04/04/2022 22:45

My absolutes are:

Strongbow (not canned)
Ice cold Barefoot Pinot Grigio
Sailor Jerry with Pepsi max and fresh lime

Drunk in that order where possible.

But, there are also other drinks like prosecco, Bollinger, gins, Bailey's, pint of blonde and a really good cocktail!

cromwell44 · 04/04/2022 22:46

Marlborough (NZ) Sauvignon Blanc
Mojito limey and minty, white rum, not too much sugar
Decent fizz - Crement or sparkling English

Runners up:
French 75
Lemon gin and lemon San Pellegrino

Elderflower wine - tastes just like sunshine
Honey mead
Spiced damson rum

I'm good at making my own alcohol tastes much nicer than the mass bottled stuff.

Gin & tonic
Negroni
