Whats your favorite alcohol??

[rubber pants]

If you could only drink TWO different alcholic beverages for the rest of your life; what would they be?

Brands encouraged.... im looking to "branch out" of the beer and wine world (but I'll take beer and wine suggestions too!!!).  

::gasp::

[laurack]

Beer
A really good mojito

[muppetinma]

I need more information before I'm willing to commit. When you say "two different alcoholic beverages," do you mean two different cocktails? Or two different liquors?

If I had to pick two different liquors, I'd probably go with Grey Goose vodka and Sailor Jerry rum. Always delicious, versatile, and always treat me right.

If I had to pick two different cocktails? Hmmm. . . . . that gets a little more difficult. Moscow Mule would probably be one. Then . . . . hmmm. I do love a solid margarita. None of that sour mix BS, but real lime and agave.

ETA - For the sake of full disclosure, I had a fantastic margarita with my lunch, so that might be tainting my opinion.

[lauranicole91]

Hard cider (Angry Orchard or Stella)
And vodka (I like all the flavors a that Smirnoff and Pinnacle have to offer)
Eta: To be more specific about what I do with my vodka, I'm a froo froo girl so I usually mix it with orange juice and red bull or orange juice and blueberry juice. Unless I'm having whipped cream vodka, in which case I drink it straight.

[TrudyCampbell]

Pinot noir from the willamette valley
Really good margarita on the rocks

 either or.   

Im a HUGE fan of a lime/agave margarita.  OMG SO GOOD

[pinkpeony6210]

I love mojitos and piña coladas. Cider is excellent, too!

[carawestt]

Mimosas
Margaritas

[JuliaGulia]

Margarita on the rocks with salt

White Russian with stoli raspberry vodka

[breezy8407]

I'm not much help. Beer and wine are pretty much all I drink.

As for a cocktail, currently I would say a Big Ginger. Irish whiskey, ginger ale, lemon and lime.

Beer: hmmm tough. I have a hard time choosing between these two, but two favorite IPA's are Surly Furious and Steel Toe Size 7. Both are local to MN, but Surly might have a larger distribution.

Wine: I am not very sophisticated. Most of the time I drink Bota Box If I'm feeling crazy I will get Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc.

[AndyCohen]

Mojitos hands down. I get so sad when I go to bars that don't have them year round.

[Deleted]

Gin is my current favorite hard liquor. Tom Collins and gin and tonics are both tasty.

I also love tequila, so margaritas.

[earlybird]

I like a good champagne. Sangria makes me happy, too. For a fruity tropical drink, nothing is better than a lava flow.

[Deleted]

Faves:
Dry Champagne
Napa (or some Sonoma) Cab

I like vodka, but I'm not picky about brand since I drink vodka tonics or with flavored Pellegrino. We usually get Kirkland (which I think is Grey Goose or sim?) or the 360 brand because my husband falls for their limited edition bottles.

For summer branching out, Campari is super fun! I just had Campari and soda with lots of lemon yesterday for Happy Hour

[mabillon]

I generally have no desire to branch out from beer and wine (are we including champagne with wine? I do).

However, I do enjoy a nice gin and tonic with lime when it's warm outside and capirinas will hit the spot for me too.

ETA - Bombay Sapphire for the gin, I can't neglect to mention that.

[thedahliharpa]

Champagne
Red Stripe

[The Foozzler]

A good Belgium white ale or anything unfiltered (rubber pants have you tried any of the beers from Two Roads? I love their No Limits unfiltered beer)

An extra dirty vodka martini with kettle one or svedka

[jsillyfun]

Gin and tonic
Amaretto sour

If it's cold out I love spiking hot chocolate with whipped cream flavored vodka.

Pinot noir or Sangiovese for wine.

[tennisgal]

I'm not a ton of help because I tend to stick to beer and wine myself. Like, I can't remember the last time I had a mixed drink

I tend to like the fruity beers: Abita Purple Haze (raspberry), Magic Hat #9 (apricot), Leinenkugels Summer Shandy (lemonade-y), Leinenkugels Cranberry Ginger (winter seasonal), Leinenkugels Orange Shandy (summer seasonal)
Wine: I usually stick to Reislings

Someone on here mentioned Pimms recently. I drank that back in my early 20s with Sunkist Lemonade and an orange slice.

[charlielove]

Seven Deadly Zins Old Vine Zin
Blue Moon Original

[kandrze1]

I mostly drink wine.
I like certain local beers sometimes.

If I'm out and I know the bar makes a good one,I love mojitos.
I like Manhattens and vodka drinks. There's a bar in my town that makes a vodka drink with st. germaine, blackberry purée and lemon juice that I'm in love with.

[honeybee503]

Margarita
Champagne

[Deleted]

I love gin and tonics but HATE Bombay. It needs to be tanqueray! I also like whiskey. It doesn't need a certain brand but just not a well.

[DesertMoon]

Moscato and champagne

[marina007]

A dry champagne or prosecco

Hendricks gin with tonic & cucumber

[alicia45]

Margaritas and Long Island Iced Tea.

If I can taste the alcohol, I don't like it. The more hidden, the better!

[onehitwonder]

Wine takes my top ten spots. Outside of wine 1) silver patron top shelf margarita on the rocks with salt; 2) Johnny walker black and water.

[jamaga2583]

Barefoot Pink Moscato
Homemade Cherry infused moonshine.

You should try the shiner bock seasonals with your beer taste! The prickly pear and ruby red bird are my FAVS. Have you tried the magic hat summer brew? Elderberry, think. I like a tiny bit of fruit in my summer beers though shandy is usually too sweet for me.
