Not crazy about either ‘shine or vodka. I occasionally buy a fifth of cheap vodka to make Bloody Marys (or better, Caesars), because there’s so much horseradish and hot sauce and Worcestershire in there you can’t taste how lousy the vodka is. ---

Lemon is surprisingly good with coffee. I haven’t tried lemonade, but a little drizzle of lemon syrup over your foamed milk or cream is delicious. I had heard of lemon peel with espresso, but forgot all about it, until Starbucks unveiled a new iced coffee drink topped with egg white foam and a drizzle of cinnamon-lemon syrup. I made my own cheaper and less sweet version of it, and love it. ---

Sloe gin and Mountain Dew in a 1:2 ratio is really good. At least I think I remember it was. I do remember it went down real easy… ---

if you want to try whiskey and juice just buy the 4 pack JD “coolers” Although this sounds nuts but my favorite weird drink is southern comfort and orange juice … it was part of one of those trendy “slammer” drinks from years ago and that’s all of the mix i can remember… ---

If i’m the Designated Driver, I don’t mind mixing Orange juice with Tonic water - about 50/50. Works for me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-or-would-you-try-these-drink-combos/833353.md?page=3)
