Your drink of choice

We get a lot of food threads on this forum (well we used to, I haven’t seen as many recently) so I thought I’d start a drinks thread.

What is your drink of choice?

I like a nice single malt whisky. My favourite is Glenfiddich 12 year old. However, my favourite thing to drink is Cognac. This is expensive, though, so I only drink it when I receive it as a gift, and I make it last as long as I can. It goes especially well with cheese (it is a grape based drink) which is not good for my diet but we all need a treat don’t we?

On the non-alcoholic side I really like coffee and enjoy trying different coffees in my cafetière. I also like fruit juice and like to try all the different flavours available from the supermarket.

What about you? What do you like to drink? It does not need to be alcoholic. It can be tea/coffee, fruit juice, or even water.

Please share your drinks ideas here :)

    Very posh, what kind of champagne do you like best?

    I don't drink enough to have a favourite but if it was alcoholic it'd be cider.

    Otherwise I'd probably go with a cold can of coke.

    That's funny, I'm drinking a can of cold coke right now :) and also have some cider in the freezer which will be nice and cold by 6pm :D

    Yes some of them are quite suggestive to say the least, others are not even suggestive just plain explicit hahaha!

    Did you like those drinks that were popular in coffee shops a few years back - made from coffee, milk, cream and ice all put in a blender?

    Many moons ago I made a range of those fancy iced coffee drinks for minimum wage. Very easy to make (the only thing fancy was the price!) and perfect for a day like today.

    I like to sip WKD. My favourite non alcoholic drinks include water and a raspberry smoothie as well. Occasionally I have a craving for weird drinks like watermelon juice and sparkly water.

    I like a cool Guinness in the summer but rarely so that I enjoy it more.

    Some very nice drinks suggested here :)

    @christian96 I never tried WKD. What is it like?

    @leeCal I like Guinness and in moderation it is supposed to be good for you :smiley:

    Sweet @66Mustang! You can find it at your local supermarket. Ask a member of staff or another shopper.

    I don't drink alcohol anymore but when I did I loved spiced rum. Just seen Koppaberg have brought out a cherry spiced rum which sounds amazing! Non-alcoholic I love fresh juice or just orange squash, not very exciting but I love it
