After a hard day at the office: A dry Beef Eater Martini, up with an olive. Any other time or after the second martini, good beer. A nice stout or micro brewed lager. ---

But I could see trying it in Cherry 7up. Sheri ---

I will definitely have to try that the next time I go to the bar. And for all you vodka drinkers, I don’t know how you do it. I used to drink vodka, but we had a fight one night and it kicked my ass. We haven’t spoken since. And by the way, **ultrafilter** and **dreamer** , the Liquid Cocaine I had on my 21st birthday (for which I have my loving older sister to thank!) was Goldschlager, Jaegermeister, and Bacardi 151 in a shot glass. The taste takes some getting used to, but if you’re looking to loosen up, take a shot - you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking to get totally shnockered, keep 'em coming. Three or four should do ya. Oh yeah … tequila. 😃 -Dirty ---

Sapphire & tonic, no lime. Mmmm, mmmm good! I was a Tanqueray fan for years but once I tried Sapphire that was it. I also like hoppy ales - SLO Extra Pale and Lagunitas IPA are my current favorites. They just get better and better, which gets to be a bit of a problem after the fourth or fifth one! [sub]It _is_ five o’clock somewhere, isn’t it?[/sub] ---

I’ve had Smirnoff Ice (lemon flavoured vodka drink) too many times, now I’m sick of that girly drink. Corona’s a good relaxing beer but ya hafta have the lime wedge with it. Straight shots of vodka are OK and so are Peach Schnapps. Strawberry daquiris are a really nice summer drink. ~~~~ mmmm, alcoholic beverages ---

Beer: Black Butte Porter when I’m back West, Blue Moon Ale when I’m on the East Coast. Others: Apple Martini. Grey Goose and pineapple juice. Incontinent Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice with a splash of lemon juice). Margarita. I guess I’m just fruity like that. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Gadarene_ > Apple Martini Y’know, I’ve heard a lot of good things about apple martinis. Methinks I’m going to have to try one sometime. **Sam Hell** , what is a Red Death? I’m always open to trying new things, and this sounds quite interesting.
