Cocktail would be a porn star martini, wine would be a very dry rosè. Also partial to a Baileys.

YouJustDoYou · 29/04/2023 11:08

When I was younger and could afford nights out it was strawberry daiquiris.

MyMachineAndMe · 29/04/2023 11:09

Port and lemon if they sell it. Some bar staff don't even know what port is 🤔 so if they can't find it, then white wine with lemonade or a bottle of kopparburg.

Babymamamama · 29/04/2023 11:10

Gin and tonic. Or in summer months Pimms or white wine spritzer. But I hardly drink nowadays due to age, menopause, just not bothered any more.

Oooh I love an old fashioned too.

Only just pipped to the post by a dirty martini - gin please - served so cold it hurts my teeth

I am a light weight though so don't rely on me for a late one Grin

EggInANest · 29/04/2023 11:18

Cocktail: a mojito
In a pub: a good craft pale ale

EggInANest · 29/04/2023 11:20

In a wine bar with decent wine: Rioja or cotes du rhone

Or a very dry white

Gemzee · 29/04/2023 11:22

Cocktail: Cosmo or Kir Royale
Wine: New Zealand Savignon Blanc
Spirit: Spiced Rum and coke or Pink Gin & Lemonade

RightOnTheEdge · 29/04/2023 11:23

Gordon's pink gin with lemonade or Pepsi Max if I'm not in the mood for alcohol.

2chocolateoranges · 29/04/2023 11:24

Vodka Diet Coke for me.

frozendaisy · 29/04/2023 11:26

Expresso martini but you can only drink them quite early in the day, just after the bloody mary, but before the G&T.

youngestisapsycho · 29/04/2023 11:26

Anything with tequila in 🍹… I like a dry, pale rose and most white spirits…. Can’t do whisky, brandy or dark rum 🤢

QueenBitch666 · 29/04/2023 12:37

Aperol Spritz 🍹
A dry rosé or Prosecco ( champagne if I'm super flush ) 🥂 🍾
Bacardi and Coke 😎

Tipsytart305 · 29/04/2023 13:13

Cherry spiced rum with Coke

IHeartGeneHunt · 29/04/2023 13:21

When I drank, my favourite cocktail was an old fashioned, and for going out out a gin and tonic.

YouNeverSeeTheRealMe · 29/04/2023 13:22

Vodka and lemonade
Indian lager
Bailey's

IpanemaChica · 29/04/2023 13:23

Dry rosé, French or Spanish with dinner.
Pre dinner Champagne or G&T.
After a long bike ride or on the beach then it’s a small bottle of European beer.

These days I seem to drink more tea than alcohol but I do love that slightly tipsy relaxed feeling 🥂

TheChosenTwo · 29/04/2023 13:25

I really love a good margarita but also anything vodka/rum based is good for me.
Nothing however beats a pint of cold lager on a hot day though. Thirst quenching and feels hydrating 😂😂

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 29/04/2023 13:26

An amaretto sour is my favourite cocktail, though I do like a Singapore Sling. I also like a Baileys, and I’m fond of a smoky whisky.

I do also like Asti - I know wine connoisseurs would not approve, but sweet, chilled fizz does go down very nicely sometimes. I’ve actually ordered a bottle so I can have some next week while I watch the coronation.

elm26 · 29/04/2023 13:29

Vodka, soda and lime with loads of ice
Rioja red wine
Frozen daiquiris or pina colada if I'm on hols
Bloody Mary

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and suddenly had the urge to have a Bloody Mary yesterday 😂 DH went to Tesco and got me tomato juice which I had with celery, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. It definitely satisfied the craving and I don't miss drinking at all.

itsabigtree · 29/04/2023 13:41

Aperol spritz
Rum and coke
Real ale, but also cheep lager Blush

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 29/04/2023 13:43

WKD Blue (clearly I’m 15).

Failing that, Frozen Margarita or a really nice Merlot.

whineybing · 29/04/2023 13:48

Gin and slimline tonic, loads of ice and lemon or lime. Never, ever with cucumber which some places seem to do now. Cocktail would be a Cosmo, and I quite like a Bailey's every now and then.
