At risk of sounding like a wine cave lib (couldn’t find the emojis), wine. It’s versatile AF, and small, independent, artisanal winemakers (many of them vinegrowers, too, a lot of the agricultural work behind wine is overlooked so much) are really cool people. It sucks that so much of the wine world has been taken over by the bourgeois and petit bourgeois, and their wannabe acolytes, and that it’s become (it kind of always has been) such a strong class marker, when it’s such a wonderful drink, and a great gateway drug to speaking about food in different ways. I very much hate people who feel superior just because they know a thing or two about wine, when it’s a thing to enjoy, like all food should be.
love a margarita, nothing frozen or fancy, just good silver tequila, lime, and syrup
Old fashioned. Don’t know quite what it is but it hits every angle just right
Went to a cocktail bar and ordered these because the bartender there recommended it. I was having a exceptionally bad day and this guy was just serving only me and giving me on after the other. After about 4 i felt better.
Barely any words exchanged but watching him make each one was very hypnotic and i forgot about all my problems. Since then its been my favourite drink.
Same. I’m a huge fan of classic spirit-forward cocktails. Old-fashioned, Manhattan, martini, negroni.

Anytime I’ve had anything with alcohol in it I’ve thought “this would probably taste good if it wasn’t for the alcohol”. I must just have baby taste buds.
that’s your body telling you that the poison you’re ingesting is bad
“learning to like alcohol” is mostly beating this reaction into submission
I’m going to stick with drinking my juice and asking for uppies to get the cereal on the top shelf.
This is largely true
nah, alcohol tastes bad and most drinking culture is all about brainwashing yourself to like the bad tasting thing.
A Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster
Good choice
Stout/porter.
Prairie makes a colab with Evil Twin(I think) called Bible Belt that is one of the best stouts I’ve ever had. It’s boozy AF and pricy but if you haven’t tried it, seek it out.
My friends and I call them “Death Claws”
1/2 black cherry white claw 1/2 ready made cherry margarita mix Optional: a shot of tequila
It’s cheap you can sip on it or just chug it and get real fucked up
kinda weird but it sounds rather good. saved for further research
I’ve been into soju lately, especially a peach or pineapple flavor, but more importantly eggnog season is back. I’ll be drinking that for the next few months
Love soju.
soju bombs are a fun way to chug a light beer
When I was still boozing I loved a good, simple whiskey sour
Double rum and diet coke stays winning
Living in mexico i learned that my favorite way to have rum/coke was to have half coke, half soda water, and double rum, and a bit of lime juice. SUCH A GOOD DRINK, and often i wouldn’t get hangovers because the water kept me hydrated.
mexican coke could sustain this but i think hfcs yankee coke would ruin it probably
I’ve had it in countries where coke is not as good as in Mexico and it still holds up, it actually waters it down enough to make the lime/lemon pop more.
noted, i shall try it
Cool! Let me know your thoughts!
