What do you think of Sauza

What do you think of Sauza tequila silver?

I haven't tried it. Is it

I haven't tried it. Is it cheaper than Patron?

I haven't tried Patron so I'm

I haven't tried Patron so I'm not sure. I do have Sauza silver at home in a speed pour with a cap (like all my other booze)

I was planning on stopping at

I was planning on stopping at the liquor store on my way home. I'm going to have to try some.

I'm not into cocktails. More

I'm not into cocktails. More Beer or straight liquor.

However DH and I have this thing where we will order a fancy cocktail to share when we go out to dinner. It's like a little thing between us.

I'm liking some of the single

I'm liking some of the single malt whiskeys these days. For beer I like anything from crafts to guiness to white wheat citrus beers.

I'm lame...I drink Bud Light.

I'm lame...I drink Bud Light. Coors Light if I buy my own beer. DH always buys Bud Light.

I do like an Apple or Pear Cider on occasion.

we're worse than lame, we're

we're worse than lame, we're broke - we drink natty ice or icehouse.... LOL!!!

i love bud lite lime or corona. if the mood strikes, even a guinness. but we haven't had any of those in a very, very long time.

you could make a virgin

you could make a virgin cocktail substituting club soda for the liquor.

also how can you possibly make it through StepMomhood WITHOUT liquor? But I digress. . .

glad to see you're on a path

glad to see you're on a path to healthiness. And I can see how someone could develop alcoholism from the sheer stress of being a stepmom.

Ugh, I was just thinking about what a boring hag I am this morning. I couldn't tell you the last time I drank and you know why? I HATE having a headache. I guess that's why I was thinking about it this morning because I had a headache and was annoyed and thought why in the world did I actually GIVE myself a headache back in the day by drinking????

I do like strawberry daiquiris and foo foo drinks like that, but one would be the limit. I HATE beer.. can't even stand the smell of it... could never get it past my nose!

a stoned stalin. ok, back

a stoned stalin.

ok, back from fantasy land. i can't afford cocktails, but in the past have had a great fondness for a vodka tonic w/ lime, vodka and any kind of fruit juice (but preferably super tart like lemonade or cranberry juice), or for sweet i like a white russian.

Like vodka or gin and tonic.

Like vodka or gin and tonic. Also a Pimm's cup

Liquor, straight liquor. Like

Liquor, straight liquor. Like my coffee, I want it strong, and I want it to work.

I enjoy brandy in the cooler months, dark rum in the summer.

Occasionally, I go on a bloody mary bender. And I like a crisp, dry cider on a hot day.

Martinis are my preferred

Martinis are my preferred poison. Desert dry (no vermouth) and dirty (olive juice) with bleu-cheese stuffed olives.

When I'm in the mood for something sweet, I make my own.

Aniki's Nectar

1 oz. strawberry rum
1 oz. St. Germain Elderflower liqueur

Shake with ice and strain into an oversized martini glass.
Fill with chilled prosecco.
Float a strawberry slice on top and an edible flower on the strawberry.
You can also rim the glass with finely chopped, edible flowers.

Which, sane cat?

I much prefer a good G&T

I much prefer a good G&T (made with craft gin) and vodka tonics (craft vodka please!).
With Lemon rather than lime.

Every once in a while I'll have a more complex cocktail, less sweet, but I have no favorites.

But normally it's a glass of wine.

I'm a wine snob. I drink wine

I'm a wine snob. I drink wine more than anything else.

Ditto. My gin and vodka

Ditto.
My gin and vodka bottles, 1/2 liter, can last in my cupboard over a year.
A bottle of wine? One to two days. (both DH and I drinking it not just me!)

And I've got a lovely white in the fridge now to open up tonight...yum!

DAYS?? OMG!! You're killing

DAYS?? OMG!! You're killing me, Smalls!! If you can't drink the bottle the day/night you open it.... aaaaaaaauuuuuggggghhhh!!!

Well, that's a weeknight.

Well, that's a weeknight. LOL.
I generally get home late and work early so literally don't have TIME to drink it.

However, weekends...that's another story.

sounds great!

I have morphed over the

I have morphed over the years. I used to ONLY drink Captain and Diet Coke, but now that is too sweet. I can't handle the sweet anymore. Sometimes even margarita's are too sweet if they aren't made by my favorite bartender at my favorite Mexican place.

Generally I drink Tito's and Tonic with lime. YUM! I have found little cans of sparkling water with vodka, with just a little bit of flavor. Right now I have grapefruit. They are pretty damn good.

Even with wine, too sweet is no good for me. I do enjoy a good Malbec though.

And... now I am thirsty.

I'm also thirsty and on my

I'm also thirsty and on my way home for a cold alco-bev!

Old Fashion.... because

Old Fashion.... because whiskey. And DH's homemade bitters.

I LOVE whiskey. Blanton's, Bulliet, Rowan's Creek.

If not whiskey, craft beer. So many local breweries in my city. For mass produced, Sierra Nevada is a few blocks away from our house.

Di Saronno is THE amaretto!!

Di Saronno is THE amaretto!! I won't drink any other. It's very tasty mixed with pineapple juice.

And now I really AM on my way home.

"Martinis are my preferred poison. Desert dry (no vermouth) and dirty (olive juice) with bleu-cheese stuffed olives."Aniki

But only when I get them for 25 cents at Commander's Palace in New Orleans. Other wise it is an IPA beer.

DH and I stocked up on booze at Costco before Christmas thinking that we might entertain. We didn't but when I checked out our booze (after the SS home invasion) we had 5 LITERS of empty booze bottles.

I hate those MFers.

Notasm, that still yanks my

Notasm, that still yanks my chain. I spend a lot of time and effort (and money!) choosing quality wines and liquors/liqueurs. Regardless, to be violated in that way by FAMILY!! Grrrrrrr.... Flying Five Fist Monkey Nut Punch x1000 for your arsehole SS.
