What are you drinking ? - May contain traces of milk

[maxalfie]

I've noticed that cider in different guises appears to be a popular choice among folk on here.
I am trying to learn to enjoy alcohol again after not really drinking apart from the very occasional can over the last 11-12 years.
Anyone got any particular recommendations that would be easy to drink & not too hard on the stomach?

All these bloody Raspberry n whatnot is aload of shite . Best off getting some generic stuff of your preferred % n add generic juice . Well that's what i do .
Unless it's a special occasion like.

And more expensive than special vintage even though it's half the alcohol content. But they have to make cider for lightweights too Brimz. Like MailMonkey.

i no longer buy red cider. I get proper cider. and make it red meself. With Strawberry Ribena, normal Ribena, or even sometimes a combo.

 

[brimz]

Your getting their just fuk off the ribena n get the really cheap Concentrate stuff it contains 5% fruit so it's pretty good stuff .

 

[Mailmonkey]

Na, only Ribena cuts it for me. The strawberry Ribena is the daddy of all dilutie juice.

 

[brimz]

Oh that's nasty mate . Even @ 1/2 price it can get to fuk .

The only Ribena that works is the one that is already diluted for you used to love that back in days of yonder . Can never get it to taste like that .

Had that strawberry Ribena recently. Was greatly disappointed. Tasted pretty nasty actually. But then I think it's fairly well established that any palate I had is totally shot away anyway.

Bought more cider and will re-recommend Vimto as a mixer. Is really surprisingly tasty. If you like Vimto anyway.

 

[Mailmonkey]

Vimto is watery shit

 

[Shambles]

Only if you add too much water to it, MM. Was talking about the cordial

 

[FlippingTop]

vimto and cider you say... that does sound like a winning combo.

 

[FlippingTop]

personally I just had the 1 bottle of beer tonight :O That must be the least I have drunk in 1 night for fucking Ages.

 

[Shambles]

vimto and cider you say... that does sound like a winning combo.

Tis finely fruity, FT.

 

[masaz]

Tequila and orange juice with a wee dash of lemonade.

Sophisticated lady, me.

 

[Mailmonkey]

the dilutie juice?

it's watery tasting even if you put too much dilutie juice in, just tastes chemically, or watery, and non descript "fruit" flavour.

Poor choice Shambles, I'm disappointed in you

 

[masaz]

Tequila and vodka and maybe a hint of orange juice now. No pretenses any more.

edit: apart from me pretending this is a legitimate drink obv

 

[Mailmonkey]

Just get it down ya snolly.

 

[masaz]

Aye, it's clear drinks all the way from here mate

 

[Mailmonkey]

You got any red wine? My missis does a mean Miss Quim Pink Gin when times are hard. Half gin, half red wine.
