Drink Advice...

Yes, I am seeking wisdom from the people in this forum...

What are your favorite drinks? My friend and I are turning twenty-one in a few weeks, and we don't know what to order!

I thought for sure, there would be some good advice here, and hopefully - you wouldn't think me too silly for asking...

I would appreciate any insight on this topic.

I'm not much for mixed drinks Allie, but a Fosters lager hits the spot every time

------------------

Ooooh, I'm the expert on this, Allie . Mixed drinks, eh? I drink Vodka, OJ and Cranberry juice mixed together a lot, or just Vodka and Cranberry. Ummmm ... I also like Amaretto Sours, love the Malibu Rum and Coke, like jtal mentioned. Lemonade and Vodka is quite yummy too. There's a website on mixed drinks ... I'll see if I can find it for you .

------------------

Back in my drinking days, my favorite was Tequila Sunrises. I've tried many brands of beer and MGD was the best for me. FYI, at a Beatles get-together some years back, the nightspot had a special drink just for the ocassion. They called it a "Fifth Beatle" and was made with Amaretto and Cranberry juice.

My fave drink these days is Brandy and Coke. Vodka mixes with just about any fruit juice. Just a word of warning, Allie - whatever you decide to try, don't mix your alcohols. In other words, you can drink different types of vodka drinks, or rum drinks, etc. in an evening, but it's best not to have a vodka drink, then a rum drink, an so on. If you do, you're more likely to get drunk and have a nasty hangover.

Heehe, yes, I do know that rule, but I break it and pay the price almost everytime!

Here's one of the many mixed drink sites, Allie
www.mixed-drink.com

I'm not much of a beer person, but I don't mind the odd mixed drink. One of my favourites is the good ol 'Fire Engine' - vodka, lemon, lime & bitters with a splash of red cordial to give it its colour.

Thank you guys for your advice and reccomendations! I appreciate it. Maybe we'll even sound like we know what we're doing when we go out.

So was Dean Martin on his TV show in the 60's when everyone thought he was drinking whiskey.

A good drink I've heard of is called a Zombie. I've been told it looks like lumpy chocolate milk.

It's a strange drink because you get drunk from the feet up. You could have 6 of them and still feel as sober as a judge, but as soon as you stand up to go to the toilet...

*BOOM*

Whatever you do when you do go out and drink, Allie, do it responsibly, and neither you nor your friend should get behind the wheel under ANY circumstances...make sure somebody stays sober so they can drive.

Okay, sermon over...hope you have fun!

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Hey Allie!-- what about me?!!-- let me offer my drinks of passion myself:
1. If you do try the beer department, I'd
recommend a Guinness or Hieneken.
2. A bloody Mary is nice if it's usually
not to strong I think--(i.e. not too much pepper).
3. How about some chocolate milk with some
Bosco?... --JC

Amaretto Sour. No question.

I don't think you have to be a mommy to agree with that sentiment! I enjoy drinking and I enjoy driving. I just don't do them on the same day. Ever. It's just smart.

Ok, my lecture's over too!
