Re: CPW: When you do drink...

  • Riesling - that's my go to drink every time. I can drink beer in the summer when it's hot and the beer is ice cold. Some reason I just don't enjoy it in the winter.

    Nada. I actually hate the taste of alcohol. Even in the fruity drinks.. alcohol just ruins the flavor for me! I stick to water or iced tea most of the time :)

    ETA: I do enjoy cooking with wine though. Oddly, I like the flavor it gives.. just can't stand it uncooked and in a glass lol

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    I commend you for this.  I really wish I didn't like beer and wine. Even give it to me non-alcoholic and I would be fine.  Even though that isn't possible for wine.

  • If it's wine, it has to be moscato d'asti or one of like 2 rieslings.

    I do like lots of mixed drinks.

    Honestly, though, my go to is hard cider. I did SS for cider.

  • All the liquor! Seriously, I enjoy wine, beer, and mixed drinks (I did liquor promos too long not to get a taste for some great mixed drinks). What I go for depends entirely on the season/what's available/what I'm in the mood for that day.

    Pear? I have never heard of Pear ciders! That sounds amazing!

    It all depends on what I am doing. Hanging out during the day, parking lot parties, the beach, Im usually an Angry Orchard girl, but before that came out drank Twisted Tea.

    Out to dinner pino grigio only. Hanging out at home, wine or vodka and club mixed with whatever I have on hand, lemonade, tea, juice. Vodka Lemonade is my fave in the summer.

    Out at a bar or night party, wine or vodka cran.

    I have also been known to drink Honey Bourbon with one cube at family parties.

  • I chose rum but I specifically like spiced rum like Captain Morgan and coke.

    I also love Cabernet and moscato oh and Malibu rum!
