Typically, I order Black Russians; also fond of (in this order) cognac, vodka neat, vodka martinis, scotch, wine, and beer – very, very dark heavy beer, unless I’m pairing it with cuisine. Or if it’s really, really, hot, and I’m really really, thirsty, in which case a lager or even one of those thin pale watery American things actually hits the spot. ---

Well, if I’m on a veranda in the Big Easy it’ll probably be a Hand Grenade or a Hurricane, but if you want my usual thats’ easy. Absolut Citron and Soda, twist of lemon. Things tend to get out of hand. ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > I honestly don’t understand how anyone can drink beer. To me that is the nastiest substance known to man. > > My drink: Jack and Coke. I’m simple like that. Beer is (on an extremely basic level) just non-distilled Jack Daniels, with some ingredient variations depending on the kind of beer. If there’s no good beer (by my definition) around, I drink vodka sours. ---

Its an easy choice for me. Either beer -or- Wild Turkey 101 Sprite Splash of grenadine Cherry Don’t know what it is called, but we started drinking them in college because… uh… that is what we had laying around. We always called it “That Turkey Deal.” It is really pretty damn good. ---

I’m a draught beer kinda guy, but if I order a cocktail, it’s usually a Bloody Mary-- Extra hot sauce, a celery stalk, a pickle spear, two olives, and a wedge of lime; celery salt too, please. Liquid Lunch. 🙂 ---

Beer–either an import or a microbrewery type… A Corona with lime is always good. ---

If I don’t want to explain what I want, I order a rasberry cosmopolitan. If I care to explain what I want: Citrus vodka, a splash of chambord and & squeeze of lime, shaken and served straight up. Failing that, any good microbrew is fine (if I’m pacing myself) Anything made with burbon is also good in my book. ---

Jim Beam and Diet Coke in a bar. Jim Beam and Coke Zero at home. I also drink, less frequently, vodka and Diet V8 Splash Tropical. Various microbrews. Bloody Marys. And sometimes Bailey’s and coffee. Mmm. ---

Most often beer. My current favorite is Yeungling. Unless I’m at a Mexican restaurant. Then I have a Tecate. If I’m having a mixed drink, I like a Comfort Sour or, occasionally, Jack & Ginger. At home, I drink Lambrusco – you know, Riunite Lambrusco in the screw-top bottle? I am a wine-wienie, I admit it. ---

Ginnan Gin Martini Bloody Mary otherwise: any kinda beer I’m in the mood for. That can be MGD on one end and Salvator Doppelboch on the other. As I’ve said before, I’m a Full-Spectrum beerslut. ---

If I’m tired - a Jagerbomb or Vodkabomb If I’m hungry - beer and tomato juice with pepper on top. If I’m feeling poorly - Sprite with a lime If I’m yearning to break free - an occasional Chocolate Cake or a Washington Apple.
