I heart red wine ... But it dosnt like me.

I love blue wkd, however it sends my heart
In a diva strop,I can't drink sprits, nor alcohol pops, so what do you recommend for a part time drinker with a heart lacking of spirit!!!

Can you drink spirits with mixers?

I don't get on with red wine either, rose and white are fine though Grin

BOFingSanta · 07/12/2012 23:57

Tell us a bit more about what you mean? If you are having a cardiac reaction to booze, I doubt anyone could responsibly tell you a different alcoholic drink. Can you explain a bit more?

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 07/12/2012 23:57

LagVodTini

Trust me on this one. Lager, vodka and martini all mixed together.

Rose wine?

Fosters?

MyNutcrackerSuiteAudrina · 07/12/2012 23:57

Can you not cope with a leetle bit of vodka at all? It's quite easy to disguise in a lovely spicy tomato juice and just right for this weather.

SirBoobAlot · 08/12/2012 00:01

Fanjo normally you speak such sense, but that is the most vile sounding thing. Ever. Grin

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 08/12/2012 00:03

SirBoob don't knock it til you have tried it! Grin

Taboo with a mixer?

AgentZigzag · 08/12/2012 00:05

Beer?

Cider?

Panda shandy?

AltinkumATEalltheTurkey · 08/12/2012 00:06

Red wine gets me moral white and rose sends me to obvilion!!!

Blue wkd sends my heart image a frenzy
I love cock tails expect ally cherry balls but at £4 a pop I cannot afford it.

SP this is the second thread I have seen you pushing that VILE combination on in the last three days. Stop it. It's gross!

OP- In the spirit of Christmas- Advocaat with lemonade? Or how about other types of wine; elderberry and the like?

Or cider. The fruit ones are lush apparently!

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 08/12/2012 00:08

Go to home bargains. Cheap cocktails!

takataka · 08/12/2012 00:10

port and lemonade in the winter
Pimms and lemonade in the summer

MyNutcrackerSuiteAudrina · 08/12/2012 00:10

What you really need is to come back to the Christmas board and update us on this thread Xmas Wink

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 08/12/2012 00:12

Pimms?! Bloody pimms? It is disgusting! It is not at all spiffing!

Try the LagVodTini. You are welcome in advance.

bexxytrexxie · 08/12/2012 00:14

Red wine doesn't like me either. It kills my brain for at least 2 days after drinking it. Whites fine and vodka I could drink forever sadly! Ha!

takataka · 08/12/2012 00:15

SPs i am sure i will have drunk that comination at some point; i used to be a snake bite and black girl

these days, it has to be loaded with lemonade, or i die and become a zombie

MissCellania · 08/12/2012 00:16

yabu

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 08/12/2012 00:18

Taka I used to drink it before a night out or a party as it meant I'd be nearly pissed by the time I got out so I wouldn't spend much Grin

MyNutcrackerSuiteAudrina · 08/12/2012 00:20

LagVodTini eh?

I remember drinking something similar once a week when I was seventeen or so. With the addition of brandy, gin, blue curacao, and all manner of liqueurs brought back from Spain years previously.

It was called a party at mate's parents' house in the late eighties and I wouldn't wish the next morning on my worst enemy. Actually I would because it was hideous.

mummymacbeth · 08/12/2012 00:24

Bailey's Mmmmm

richardsimmonstanktop · 08/12/2012 00:24

Campari and soda? Or lemonade? Campari's not very strong (I think!)

mrskeithrichards · 08/12/2012 00:27

Blue wkd is vodka based so how about vodka and orange, cranberry or a fizzy mixer?

mrskeithrichards · 08/12/2012 00:28

Gin.

Baileys.

Oh and I'm rekindling my love affair with Mr Daniels, that might be worth a shot?

SantaWearsBlueSuedeStilettos · 08/12/2012 00:32

SP you are on your final warning. This is a classy joint. Stop touting your minging wares or you're aaaaaat!

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 08/12/2012 00:44

Malibu and lemonade.
