What is your favourite alcoholic drink?

Mine is a tanqueray gin and tonic with lots of ice, no lime.

I'm currently doing dry January so not having any! But I saw the little cans in asda tonight and I reminded me of how much I like a double with ice!

Anyone else?

I've never had one! Do the Italians make them best? Or just in Italy and not in Bella Italia preferably? (I love Bella italia)

Brandy and Babycham, with a cocktail cherry. (Though I usually have brandy and prosecco nowadays)

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 11/01/2025 23:29

A basic mojito, in all honesty 🤭

Sauvignon blanc

Im trying to get into wine so I'm trying a glass of cabernet sauvignon with dinner tomorrow actually

SkaneTos · 11/01/2025 23:29

White wine.

Mardyybum · 11/01/2025 23:36

Hendricks and tonic (served with cucumber!)

EconomyClassRockstar · 11/01/2025 23:38

Whitehaven Sauv Blanc

A mjoito I had in St Lucia that can apparently never be replicated even though the barman gave me the recipe.

Drbrowns · 11/01/2025 23:40

Chardonnay or margarita on the rocks.

TheSmallAssassin · 11/01/2025 23:40

Red wine or a decent pint of bitter, depending on time of day/mood/weather

evtheria · 11/01/2025 23:41

Paloma!
Or margaritas.

I don't like alcohol or cocktails in general, but I really like those.

ChannelFiveDrama · 11/01/2025 23:41

Vodka

MyOtherCarisAVauxhallZafira · 11/01/2025 23:43

A properly made Spicy margarita
Or vodka, ice, tall glass plenty of soda water and 3/4 wedges of lime squeezed in

Wacadu · 11/01/2025 23:44

A lovely cold pint of Innis & Gunn lager beer. It's so refreshing.

WilmerFlintstone · 11/01/2025 23:46

Prosecco 🤭

Slibberydibbery · 11/01/2025 23:47

I try to avoid drinking alcohol at all- it’s terrible for aging the body and making people look haggard, but I do like a good lager shandy once in a blue moon and maybe a glass of champagne on NYE.

Scutterbug · 11/01/2025 23:49

A dry white wine or a glass of Prosecco.

Very very rarely drink spirits.

Don’t mind a beer or cider in the summer.

I love those as well! Tequila at its best.

Vodka coke or zinfandel

Turmerictolly · 11/01/2025 23:50

A Bloody Mary.

BridgetsBigPants · 11/01/2025 23:51

Also love a mojito. So refreshing.

Printedword · 11/01/2025 23:52

Generally, if anything, a glass of red wine. If I ever have a cocktail, the one of choice would be a negroni.

soupmaker · 11/01/2025 23:52

An ice cold vodka martini or negroni before dinner.
