What are you drinking tonight?

[ccryder]

 

[IronWing]

Topo Chico mineral water

[BoomerD]

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.

I actually like it better than "The Real Thing."

 

[crashtech]

The new zeroes in general are an across the board improvement. Even though I prefer Coca Cola, old Diet Coke in particular has always tasted like ass to me

Are snowballs a thing in the US?

 

[lxskllr]

Define "snowball". A local specialty in summer are snowball stands. It's shaved ice in a cup with a sweet syrup and other toppings available. Elsewhere, there's shitty "snowballs" that are rock hard chunks of ice crystals infused with sweet syrup. Finally, there's the closeish cousin Italian ice, which almost has an ice cream texture. Fine ice with sweet syrup that tends to be more natural tasting than the other options.

Advocaat, lime juice and lemonade. (With a debate over whether sherry belongs. IT DOESN'T!)

Traditional 70s Christmas cocktail!

Never heard of it, but mixed drinks, especially sweet ones aren't really my thing. I've yet to try a classic dry martini, but that's on my bucket list. It's just that when there's a martini option, there's also a malt option, and I'm all about malt.

Yeah this is definitely a drink that I have because it's this time of the year. It's pretty sweet but the fizzy lemonade and lime juice stop it getting sickly.

I prefer a whisky to a martini and I like gin. A dry martini is pretty much just cold gin. I don't mind one of I'm in the mood but there's short spirit drinks that are better!

I bought a 4pack of these at the beginning of summer. I tried one, and this is the first soda I've had since. It's good.

Fucking gross.....I don't recommend it to anyone.

Enjoy the propofol before the steel eel!

Steel eel :^D

The latest Sierra mixed 24-pack is quite tasty!

 

[lxskllr]

It's a bitter bomb, and expensive, but I like sipping one as a treat. I just ordered a 60pack from amazon. I have a couple left from the 12pack I bought last year.

Ooh. I googled, that looks good! Bitter spirits with no sugar are right up my alley!

Hope all was ok and you had a more relaxing drink later!

Last night, had a couple stovepipes (19.2oz cans) of this: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24748/66527/ I think that 85 is low. Tis a good west coast IPA since they changed the recipe a few years ago.

And a 12oz of this: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/140/1904/

enjoyed them while watching Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum in Cape Fear on TCM. Good flick.

This is a mellower(and cheaper) version you can probably find over your way. My Danish friend sent me a bottle, and it's been a struggle finding it locally. It's quite good.

First time I had The Sherm was camping in Kings Canyon near End of the Road - was fantastic then, but as you noted, they cut back on the OG recipe.

Still a solid choice!

They have coca cola beer now! I didn't buy it because I'm low on money.
