At night (dark): Stone Brewery’s Arrogant Bastard, Anchor Steam, Dubbel, Guinness…mmmmmm
For mixed drinks, mix with Malibu rum, and turn the reggae up. Watch out for tequila drinks…

Knot: I don’t even drink beer (if cider doesn’t count) but I have had some Old Engine Oil. Every hardcore beer drinker I know gets one for their birthday. Brace yourself…
I like beer, but anything makes me happy.

@Stocky Thanks for stopping. I was getting a hangover just reading your list. One assumes you do not consume them all in the same evening.
**hiccup**... where am i… who are you
Snake wine lol, I missed that at my local liquor store is that next to the wine coolers?
hmmm….don’t know dude. I get it here in Singapore, it comes from Vietnam. If you guys don’t have it in the US, I can send you some. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked it tastes so good
Haha I thought you were kidding. Its illegal to import to the United States and most other countries. Ive seen a couple shows where they drank it and said it was the most vile tasting thing they ever put in their mouth. One of the shows was Three Sheets with Zane Lampry(great show) Its a show where he goes to different countries gets drunk with the locals and trys strange alcoholic beverages. And the other was Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman on the Travel Channel and that guy eats and and enjoys everything. I think ill pass but thanks for offering :)
cold unfiltered sake with some good sashami
Bring on the sunshine and Margaritas!!
I also enjoy a nice chilled White Zinfandel or a sweet Swedish cider, a la Rekorderlig or Kopparberg.
I’m surprised more people aren’t into Sangria, it’s big around Toronto right now. Mojitos are awesome, I like some of the newer juice combos too (mango mojitos).
I also like to call them moh-jee-tohs. And if they try to correct me I tell them to move back to Spain. (Yes I know it’s Cuban).
I agree with everyone who said beer. I particularly like Corona, Pure Blonde and Crown Larger.
I second Pupntaco with a Brazilian CAIPIRINHA!!
Ice coffee with a shot of Bailey’s. And beer, of course.
campari w/orange juice
campari w/sprite
moet w/grey goose vanilla
pink wine, make sure is a very decent one (let’s say between 20.00 – 30.00)
tanqueray w/tonic
martinis!!!
and the classic manhattan
i second strongbow cider. K cider is my favorite though. it’s not to sweet, not too dry. just right.
also i just discovered razz margaritas. they are such a girl-drink, but SO yummy. if you feel like regular margaritas taste too much like tequila, throw a shot of rasberry liquor in after blending. it is amazing.
These suggestions all rock guys! I have no idea where to get Strongbow Cider (I really want to try it after hearing so many good things about it!), but I will keep looking! Oh, and just to help you all from making the same mistake I did… do not waste your time with that new Bud Light with Lime crap. Holy hell is it ever horrible!
Apple martini, miduri, figling and malibu
Anyone else tried just a drop of tabasco in your Corona? Just the right amount of kick!
Absolut’s Ruby Red Grapefruit vodka with lots of crushed ice mixed with grapefruit and cranberry juices to taste. Top it off with a wedge of lime. It’s our family’s favorite beach drink.
Bloody Maria (it’s a Bloody Mary with tequila instead of vodka)
Boring I know, cheap shiraz on ice.
Ice cold COORS.Jack Daniels shots.
Ron Bacardi 151 shots.
