Re: Drinks Survey!

Mixed Drinks: Mojitos and margaritas
Liquor: I don't have a particular favorite!

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Dr Pepper, but I've cut them out for a while to get back in shape. I miss them.
Beer: Michelob Ultra for just an every day beer.
Wine: Yes please.
Mixed Drinks: Lemon Drop Martinis... hands down
Liquor: Vodka. Good vodka.
Bio
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Coca Cola
Beer: Shiner ... or Stella Artois is my new fav. I'm still trying different beers though....just now getting into that.
Wine: Red Wine would be Wild Horse or La Crema Pinot Noir ... White wine is Conundrum
Mixed Drinks: Margaritas mostly, Sangria, Mambo Taxi
Liquor: Awesome tequila from Mexico we brought home. It's so good you can just sip it on the rocks. I don't remember what it is called, though.
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Probably iced tea--but I'm trying to cut out artificial sweetener so I don't drink it like I used to.
Beer: I have never had a beer. I don't think I would like it. Plus...well, I feel bad saying this, but I don't think it's very ladylike. No offense. I've just never had the desire to try one.
Wine: Maggie's Reserve Zinfandel from Rosenblum Cellars.
Mixed Drinks: A drink called a Lava Flow. Yummiest.Drink.Ever. It's like a dessert that you drink.
Liquor: No idea. Half the time I don't even know what is in anything drink--I always either have Ben or my sister pick something for me. I do like Grey Goose Vodka though.
I know what I don't like: Mambo Taxis. They are the devil.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Beer: I have yet to find a beer that I like
Wine: Moscato or this red wine we had in Hot Springs
Mixed Drinks: Banana Daiquiri, Margarita on the Rocks, Grasshopper or a Malibu mudslide.
Liquor: Rum.
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Diet Coke and iced tea. Not together.
Beer: Shiner, I'm from Texas.
Wine: Right now, I've found that Malbec's from Argentina don't give me headaches so I'll go with that.
Mixed Drinks: Tom Collins (gin based) and margaritas on the rocks. My brother used to be a bartender and he says that, since the frozen ones come out of a machine, the rocks are better because they can be made a little better.
Liquor: Hmmmm, well, I don't drink straight liquor very much so I'll say brandy.
Only if it's from Sansei.
Bio
Non Alcoholic: Diet DP
Beer: none!
Wine: Sweet whites (pretty much anything from Su Vino in Grapevine)
Mixed Drinks: Rum and diet or Miami Vice (discovered them on the cruise)
Liquor: Rum and vodka
This makes me laugh because I only like A&W unless it's a homemade root beer like from Twisted Root or the Dairy-ette.
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Diet Dr. Pepper. Like, way too much.
Beer: I don't like beer, though I wish I did. I do like cider, though, and will drink Woodchuck or Ace whenever it's available.
Wine: I like rieslings, and I'll drink a lot of the whites, but I don't care for much red wine.
Mixed Drinks: Mojitos, margaritas, daiquiris, pina coladas, etc, etc
Liquor: I looooove rum. I'm almost out of the spiced rum I bought on Kauai, and it makes me very sad
I have never met a Lava Flow I didn't like. We even got the recipe so we can make them at home.

Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Dr. Pepper, delicious!
Beer: None, don't like!
Wine: I prefer a sweet, fruity, white wine
Mixed Drinks: Frozen Strawberry Margarita for sure!
Liquor: Probably Tequila
What are you favorites:
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water):
Coke or Sweet Tea
Beer:
I'm pretty sure beer is what horse pee would taste like. I wish I liked it because it's WAY cheaper, but I can't get past the horrible taste to get to the "acquired taste" point.
Wine:
only Moscato. I think most wine tastes like beer too.
Mixed Drinks:
Pickle martini from Simply Fondue, mojitos, and margaritas
Liquor:
rum with coke...I don't like to drink straight liquor.
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): I love Limeade.
Beer: I would rather drink beer than anything else! My usual go to's are Shiner Blond and Coors Light.
Wine: 2006 Columbia Cellarmaster's Riesling
Mixed Drinks: TL(D)C-> Tequila, Lime, Diet Coke, Mont Swirls, sangria
Liquor: I don't drink liquor that often. College kinda killed off most of my "favorites!" I will say tequila since my fave mixed drink uses tequila.

I guess I'm not being completely fair in my dislike. I've only ever had it out of the liter or 2 liter bottles and it's always flat even after I just open it up. Maybe it is just the bottles I have gotten.
Beer drinkers/lovers unite. Maybe it is just a name thing!!!!!
Yea Sarah/Saras are all pretty awesome! :-D

That's funny because I am the exact same way on both the horse pee and it being cheaper so I just don't get anything. With mixed drinks, they vary place to place but with beer, it's the same everywhere you go!
Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water):Virgils rootbeer or loose leaf tea from Teavana
Beer:Blue moon (with orange)
Wine: Moscato or Riesling
Mixed Drinks:I love me a good margarita on the rocks with salt
Liquor: Doesnt really matter
For those of you who think beer is awful, I think you should branch out and try different kinds. I thought it was awful for years too.
You might be pleasantly surprised that there are some very nice, flavorful beers out there. (...and their names are NOT Coors, Miller, Bud, etc.etc..)
I agree! And if you want one that doesn't taste like beer you could always get a hummingbird water. It's two beers mixed together but one is a raspberry one so it doesn't taste like beer at all :-p

Also, I'm perplexed by the beer is unlady-like sentiment. Not offended, just perplexed.
It's just the way I was raised I guess. Like a real lady wouldn't ever drink beer. It probably has more to do with how my HS girlfriends acted after they drank it.

I haven't completely given up. I'll take a sip of whatever I can when it's around. World Market has a create your own pack that I will be doing one of these days.
No, but I can make frozen margaritas... and sangria.... and then put them together?
Why have I never tried this?!
Kroger on University has that too! I did it last weekend and bought three ciders and a couple others. I actually drank a Leinenkugel Summer Shandy, which is mixed with lemonade. I drank the whole thing! But, I'd already had two ciders so it probably tasted better than if I had it first.
Ben loves a beer called Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. He likes it with sliced oranges.
