You know my top tip already - Westons Vintage Cider 8.2% ABV
. Also have a look at Thatchers Vintage (also 8.2% ABV). Aspalls Premier Cru is also worth a look in. In the evening obviously...
If it's spirits then 16 y.o. Lagavulin, JD with Honey or Absolut Citron."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

The jd with honey sounds promising though. Not a vodka man.0 -

Quite partial too. I'm not overly fond of real bitter bitters
Favourites of mine are:
AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE, LOVE THIS STUFF
GET WHEEZY - WALNUT LUNG RACING TEAM™0 -
Real drinks:
Negroni as follows: 2 parts gin, 1 part Campari, 1 part Antica Formula, dash of orange bitters. Stirred over ice, then served with a single large ice cube and a twist of orange peel.
Martini as follows: 6 parts gin, 1 part Noilly Prat, stirred over ice, served in a v cold martini glass and garnished with a couple of olives
Hennesy XO if I can afford it. Hine Rare if it's on offer. Hennessy VSOP otherwise.
Wine:
Big fan of red wines from Languedoc and Roussillon, especially cuvees with mourvedre in the blend. Dry and sweet whites from Jurancon. German Rieslings, trocken or Kabinett.
Beer:
Varies, but I like them all if they taste of something, so not the mass produced lagers. Not a huge fan of the massively hopped US IPAs.
Cider:

I drink too much. Must have one of my months off.0 -

I'm quite liking BrewDog's Dead Pony Club pale ale at the moment. Well, not at this actual moment, but perhaps at some moments later tonight.Cube Reaction GTC Pro 29 for the lumpy stuff
Cannondale Synapse alloy with 'guards for the winter roads
Fuji Altamira 2.7 for the summer roads
Trek 830 Mountain Track frame turned into a gravel bike - for anywhere & everywhere0 -

Guinness - the proper Dublin stuff.
Vodka tonic. Or...
1 part lime, 2 parts Gin, 2 parts mineral water. Pour it over ice. OKA, Gin Rickey.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Currently on Bacardi and coke, mainly because it's the only alcohol in the house. Quite partial to Thatchers cider and most spirits with coke with a slice of lemon or lime.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

A very good Bloody Mary always gets a smile on my face. Must be spicey though.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Just went and bought some Crwrw Eyri, a large packet of Rwiglets and an adult size toothbrush (medium bristle) for bambino because I forgot to pack his tooth brush when he went for his sleep over at his mate.
Naturally the Eyri and the Twiglets are for me as I'm livin' da Vida lock between 9:30 and 10 tonight.
Must admit to having just googled my beer of choice for tonight and it gets pretty rubbish ratings, so a tad disappointed.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Good drink that Cwrw Eryri, they servr it at my local back 'home'.
Just saw on ad for Bud Light, now available in the UK. Absolute pish!0 -
Local pub - stowford cider
Next village pub - Peroni
Other village pub and old local - joules green monkey
Various wines, ports, rums, jd and partial to various shots0 -
Cwrw is very light - far too easy to drink and at 3.6% it's a session job. Perfect for a BBQ. Or all day Giro session.
Not a bad drop - same as Garry, reminds me of heady nights at Edwyns second hostelry in Caernarfon.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Anything with Monkey 47 in it, currently. Ideally 1724 (it's all numbers these days) tonic.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

I prefer Moretti to Peroni, only drink it when in Italy though. Much prefer real ale over here, lager only if it's hot. Don't drink lager very often as a result.0

This - Moretti smashes Peroni into the weeds. Moretti is Pantani, Peroni is dopey Millar and all his hipster friends drinking £9 espressos. Moretti fuller flavour and just better.
I just bought 3 bottles of Ringwood Old Thumper for tonight. Will pick up some more Twiglets later.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

No local serves moretti though
Later if I survive man flu is a pop up wine bar by http://ironandrose.com/0
