1) A Bloody Mary with freshly shredded horseradish & Kettle One or Stoli pepper vodka. Tough to beat with a Sunday brunch.

2) A pint of Guinness anytime...but especially on a cold day.

3) A chilled stoli vodka & tonic with a splash of 7-Up after a round of golf

4) An ice cold PBR (16 oz. can) w/ a bowl of buffalo or Thai wings at the kickoff of any NFL event

Next time you make a Bloddy Mary try using Gin instead of Vodka. Use 50/50 V8 and Clamato. Worchester sauce. Rim the glass with the celery salt. Must be coarse cracked pepper. A little anchovie paste. Horse raddish. Squeeze in half of a small Mexican thin skinned lime and drop it in. Pleanty of Hot Sauce non vinegar based. 1/4 pickle spear, whole celery stalk with foliage,3 big olives, crushed red pepper flakes. Serve in a very tall glass. Dinner is served. I am making one now...Russ

Sauvignon blanc or chardonnay OR grey goose vodka and tonic.

Chopin...straight from the freezer.

My favorite right now is the Offical Drink of Brazil the Caipirinha. Make sure you rim the glass with raw sugar and squirt a little simple syrup in the glass also. If you have an Ice Crusher use it also.

I prepare it like the video says except I do it in a coctail shaker with finer crushed ice 3 ounces Cacacha and shake vigorously. Then pour into the rimmed glass...Russ

Much better than a Mojito

My wife doesnt like gin either but after I made her one of these she only has a Gin Mary now.Give it a try once you might change your mind. And Gin is a way better buzz than Vodka...Russ

I realized quite awhile ago that the world is a better place if I don't drink Gin. I have no problem with other spirits, wine or beer, but Gin brings out the devil in me & I don't mean that in a good sense.

Woodchuck hard cider. Amber. We keep some at home, on hand.

If I'm out at a bar or whatever and there's no cider option, I usually order a Chambord sour. Like a whiskey sour but with Chambord. Niiiice.

Never liked beer, though.

Wines, I like the sweet German whites. A nice Riesling is my fave.

Homemade wine room temp
Beer 42°
In that order.

Red wine. From California, please. 1st choice: Flying Vines, central coast 2005 "Blueberry Pie" Syrah.
2nd choice: Any, Turley Vineyards, Zinfandel.
