Malibu Rum is the Bomb? Oh no no no - that stuff gives me instant hang over. Course that's due to a frat party in college, but to this day I can't look at the stuff without getting a little nauseous. I'll take Makers any day

I feel that way about Southern Comfort, but that was skiing at Whistler, in my debauch days.
seems like in late high school early college it was seven seven (segrams seven and 7 up)
and of course one day in college i had a girl introduce me to a slow comfortable screw against the wall
(mixture of slow gin......southern comfort and a harvey wall banger.)

Good German or Mexican beer.
Good American craft beers.
Good British /Irish/Scottish ales or stouts.
Belgian Ales, especially tripples.
Yeah, count me as another fan of 100% agave tequila.
Good sour mash or bourbon whisky.
Single malt scotch....the peatier the better.
OK, that's enough.

Agreed on the lime thing. I like beer. I like wine, too. It depends on what I am eating. When I cook chicken marsala for my wife (made with habanero-infused olive oil) I like a nice bottle of chardonnay or pouilly-fuisse to wash it down with. Wings? Gotta have beer. Since I am watching my weight (gotta stay slim if I want to ski this winter) I normally drink diet beer
but I reward myself from time to time with a micro beer or a LaBatt's Blue. I actually had a pilsner in Aruba called Balashi, but, alas, they don't sell it off the island. It is incredible stuff.staffing said:kato said:

You had me with the Pouilly-fuisse, but you just lost me.
I have as yet NEVER had any scotch (or rye or whisky for that matter) that would qualify for anything more than my speed bar. lol.
Not a scotch girl me. uh uh.

Scary... what's scary is that it tastes better than Tequila Sauza.

LOL!!!!!
By the way, single malts are great....you just have to try the right one (like a 10-year old Tallisker), and sip it slowly, neat, and after dinner. It's a great experience. It's not something I do often (expensive stuff) but I enjoy it when I do. I'll stock up when in Nova Scotia next summer. It's much cheaper duty-free.
We mostly stick with the wine and beer...depending on what's on the dinner table.
Regarding Rum, I like Mount Gay (Barbados) rum. I lived on the stuff when I was in St. Thomas earlier this summer.

That is my rum of choice. I also like Flor de Cana Black Label. For light rum we buy Cruzan. I also love Myers Dark.
I'm against putting lime in beer too. Yuck. That started as a way to sell cheap beer to tourists for more pesos than it's worth.
Tina, sounds like you know your tequila for a Canuck. We go through a lot of that Cuervo Tradicional for mixing. Other Cuervo product I find undrinkable. I'd rather drink Sauza Gold....seriously.
And yeah, cosigned on the Anejo. The stuffs too expensive to adulterate. I'm partial to El Tesoro.
In mexico the chase tequila with a drink called...I think, could be wrong on the name...Sangrita. It's half orange juice and half tomato juice with some hot sauce. It's a rally nice way to drink tequila.
For mixing, we stay away from anything made by Jose Cuervo. The stuff is just vile, whether you mix it or not. Try the Sauza Hornitos or Cazadores Reposado for mixing. It's a small step up price-wise, but your margarita-drinkers will thank you for it.
El Tesoro is truly da bomb. We are also partial to Casa Noble and Don Julio. For a taste of something truly special, try a bottle of the Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia. Yeah, it'll put you out $80-100 for a bottle...but it's worth every single sip and then some.
Haven't tried the sangrita, mostly because no one here really likes tomato juice all that much. We'd probably try it if someone else served it up, tho, just for something a little different.

I know tequila better than anyone I know up here. The vast majority all reply "Tequila? yuck". Of course them's throwbacks to college and too much tequila sauza. And since we can't get good sauza I really don't know what it tastes like but I'm hesitant to try it.
Fwiw, if you can get your hands on a "mediocre" little tequila that goes by the name of Con Orgullo (with pride, I believe) it's delectable. Best tequila I've ever had the pleasure of sampling... And we're out.
As for Sangrita, I'm with LinNJoe, I don't like tomato juice, but use Mott's clamato juice instead, THAT makes a way better sangrita. And the Clam flavour complements the tequila very well.
