I live in a very sheltered world. So tell me, what is your favorite drink when you go out? What about when you stay in and are entertaining or just feel like having a drink?

I almost always go for a peach bellini when we go out (I rarely order them though, but if I do order an "adult drink" I go for these)...if they don't have bellini's then I'll get a margarita - strawberry or raspberry usually.

The other night DH brought home coolers for me and he grabbed Vodka Mudshakes...OMG they were SO good!! Usually I go for rum and coke, but I will drink coolers - my newest faves are the Smirnoff Twisted ones - Strawberry & Acai is really good, so is Watermelon.

And, while I'm add it...I'm going to add shooters to my list - my favorite shooter is China White. Mmmmmm...
 
I usually order margaritas at restaurants. If I'm at a club (rarely) or in some other place of the sort, I'll get an amaretto sour (YUM!).

For entertaining, we usually do wine or margs.

I don't drink beer (blech) but I love Mike's Hard Lemonade (reg, cranberry, or lime) and Smirnoff Ices.
 
Amaretto sours are tasty but I can only have 1. Too sweet for me.

I'm a Captain Coke girl. I don't drink beer except for rare occasions. Occasionally I'll get a Stoli Ras and Sprite or another fruity drink. Red Robin makes a delicious drink called Sand in My Shorts. It's got orange and pineapple and who knows what else in it, lol. I also love a good Malibu Bay Breeze.
 
malibu & pineapple or smirnoff ice. I basically like anything w/ malibu and juice in it though.

Shots - Lemon Drop
 
I hardly drink when I go out. I usually just look at the specialty drink list. I like the fruity stuff. In the summer at home I like watermelon daquiris. It's watermelon, rum and simple syrup. Got hooked on those at Jamaica. I salt my rim though on mine. Or the jack daniels coolers are good blended with ice.
 
If I'm drinking to get tipsy...beer.
If I'm drinking to taste alcohol...margarita on the rocks.
If I'm drinking as a dessert after dinner...mudslide.
If it's around lunchtime...bloody mary.
Shots...Buttery Nipples...yummmmmm!

I don't drink most of the time as I can enjoy myself without it so I'm usually the DD. But if I don't have to worry about us getting home safely, those are my drinks of choice.
 
If I am drinking with supper at a restuarant, I love pina coladas or Mango or Peach Margaritas. Yummy. If I am drinking out at the bars, then a Screwdriver or Bud Light. If I am drinking at home, wine or wine coolers. I used to get Skyy Blues a lot, but I haven't had one in years. They are super sweet.
 
I don't really drink much these days, maybe the odd glass of wine, or Baileys on the rocks.

But back in the day my drink was an amaretto sour.
 
In all reality, I only occasionally have a small glass of red wine and nothing more. I used to drink mostly beer and Bloody Marys like they were going out of style... and the occasional Colorado Bulldog.
 
I like my drinks with groceries :thumbup:

Brunch: Bloody Mary
Cocktails: Bombay Blue Sapphire Martini...very dry!
Mexican restaurant: Margarita on the rocks with extra limes.

But, at home it's Jack & Diet Coke (no groceries, I know LOL!)
 
I am mostly a beer drinker ( I am having a Blue Moon right now), unless it is a holiday then I will indulge in a glass or 4 of wine - (LOL) but it has to be a Riesling or a Rheinhessen Liebfraumilch. My favorite beer to date would have to be Guinness :thumbup:

I will have a shot every so often and it is usually an "O-Bomb"

I too love me a Mudslide or a Margarita but mostly in the summer. And a shot of Carmel Baileys in my coffee on a cold afternoon watching football is always a plus :)
 
amaretto sour is sweet n sour. i don't know how to describe it. they rock.

i drink a variety of stuff.

usually these things are my defaults: rum and diet, amaretto sour, coconut rum with a splash of cranberry, orange and pineapple, wheat beer with an orange slice or a marg on the rocks.

daaaang, oh how i also love a white russian.
 
Most of the time I drink beer. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll take em' all...

However, I also love, love, love a good plain Margarita on the rocks with lots of salt.

There is also a drink at Cafe Bernardo in Davis called a Wicky Wacky Woo that is oh so yummy but after 2 you are on the floor they are so strong. I managed to get the recipe out of a cute waiter one night and now my bff and I have them at home.

I also like wine occasionally but hate the hangovers it gives. I'm on a white kick right now but have tons of red that we need to drink.

DH drinks Whiskey (Jim Beam or Jack Daniels) with Pepsi or Bud Light.
 
I'm a MGD (Miller Genuine Draft) kinda gal - straight up in a bottle. no glass and no can. I can drink just about any guy under the table with beer (and have done it! LOL)
 
paralyzer is my drink of choice (or this past summer, a dosa-lyzer instead). Or Vodka Mudshakes (yummy!!!). And it's weird, cause I hate milk. lol
I do love some Mike's Hard Lemonade too, but I find I get wicked heartburn after drinking coolers.
Oh, and if I am at home, and just feel like a drink, I normally go for a Vodka w/ Diet Pepsi (although, some rotten child of mine got into my vodka and thought to replace what was taken with water ... totally ruined my good vodka!)
Shots ... Sex On The Beach - oh, so tasty!!

I usually get ice water or CocaCola! LOL Oh, that's not what you meant...sorry, I don't drink! :)

Deb and I will be the designated drivers. My drink of choice is diet Pepsi.

But when I did drink I liked vodka tonics, Cosmopolitans, sangria. I'm pretty clueless about alcohol.
 
I drink very little. Last year had maybe three alcoholic drinks and when I do drink its usually one possibly two but never more. For me though it is one of three drinks:

pina colada
ultimate junebug
captain and coke
 
I usually have a glass of wine when we go out to eat...assuming it isn't IHOP or Denny's. :)

It depends though. If we are at Chilis I have a strawberry mango margarita & if we are at the Japanese place I have sake. I might have an Irish coffee with my dessert some places depending what I ate & drank for dinner.

My very favorite drinks are hard cider & mead, both separately and mixed together in a 'beesting'. I prefer Woodchuck green apple cider but what I usually find in the stores around here is Hornsby regular. Mead is tricky to come by too and expensive usually. I never find cider or mead in restaurants

I don't drink at home often, only if we have company and I usually make Melon Margarita's.

When I go out it depends on where we go but it's either a Chocolate Martini or a Pomegranate Martini
 
My fave coctails are Cosmopolitan or Malibu Rum & Pineapple juice. For shots I love "Buttery Nipples". lol I like white or red wine as long as it's not too dry and the only beer I can drink is either Corona or Miller Light.
 
Oooo I love those Bellini's too, I usually only get them at Mac Grill.
at home, I have bottles of Kahlua and Godiva that I like to have with milk or add to some late nite cocoa.
when I want some special drinks at home, I get Mikes or Smirnoff.
at the bar I tend to stick with Malibu+Coke.
 
I really love beer like for real love it.
I like dark, rich usually imported.

I also love vodka-especially Grey Goose...gotta love those French.
Grey Goose, straight from the freezer in a shot glass
OR
A Lemon Drop shot...or Martini...I also love most blue drinks...
 
S*x on the Beach is my favorite drink, but pretty much any combination of vodka or rum + fruit juice is just fine. If I were to have some at home, it would just be a wine cooler.

I hate wine & beer and rarely drink, so I don't have much alcoholic drink knowledge. I hate actually tasting the alcohol, so almost all drinks are too strong for me and I end up drinking them verrrrrrrrrrry slowly.

I've only been to one place, which was a hotel bar in Chicago, where I had some kind of Bay Breeze something or other drink that was mixed SO well that I couldn't taste the alcohol at all. I had 3 of those, and boy, was I feelin' good! *lol*
 
Fave drink: white wine...very picky about it though

Bar drink: vodka and cranberry

Current drink: beer, preferrably a brown - so many good microbrews in the Pac NW! :thumbup:
