Thank you for your valuable contribution to this thread.Got my dad a killer bottle of scotch. Single barrel, cask strength (53.5%), only 500 made, westcoast s*** right there.

Sander Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've honestly never heard of that. What's it taste like? The way I remember it was that the coke overpowered the taste of the wine, pretty much like any other basic coke + spirit cocktails. Had some in when I was in Spain some 2-3 years ago. I didn't enjoy it myself, but I wasn't a regular drinker at that time, so my experience can't say much for me now (might actually enjoy it now). The name of the drink in question, from Wikipedia, is Kalimotxo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalimotxo Also I'm basic as hell. I usually go for any rum + coke cocktail usually if I'm drinking out. At home, softer stuff like beer, long drink, etc. (pretty much non-spirits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm a university student and basically drink what I can get my hands on but just plain old Smirnoff is probably my drink of choice, ideally with lemonade. I'm also very fond of Archer's, which is a Peach Schnapps that I'm not sure exists outside the UK that goes well with literally any mixer and is even pretty decent to drink straight. I don't really have any sort of palate for beer but I avoid all mass-produced beers because they're disgusting, I do drink local beers now and again if I'm in a pub or somewhere but I'm not particularly good at distinguishing between local beers, I just know the difference between a good beer and a bad one. Never had Grey Goose but I'd love to sometime, there's definitely a difference between really crappy Vodkas and Smirnoff so I imagine there'd be an even bigger difference between that and Grey Goose. A local club also does these things called "blue pints" which is 3 shots of Russian Standard with some bright blue mixer which nobody actually knows (I suspect maybe Blue Mountain Dew? Or maybe just WKD) for £2.40 which is as about cheap as you'll get booze in any club in the UK, so that's definitely something I've become familiar with. Also Jagerbombs are disgusting.

Wahrheit Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't mean to rain on your parade, but Smirnoff is generally considered a "really crappy vodka." :( Do the Brita filter thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahrheit Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just because White Castle is worse than Arby's doesn't mean that Arby's isn't funking awful. Trust me, filter the vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Will do. Personally I drink craft beers primarily so sharing wont be too helpful since they come from local breweries. Also cocktails are the sheet, campari is a god, and you need bitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm not huge on spirits. I'm not the 'go out and get hammered' type. That does usually resign me to looking after whichever poor soul that I call my friend for the night at parties, but that's cool. This is the UK, of course, where 18 year-olds get the green light for drinking, but we still have a huge underage drinking culture. Our perpetual alcoholism is hilarious. Cider's cool though.

Vodka's fine just because it's pretty neutral. If I had to drink on a night out, vodka and lemonade is the way to go for me. I've not really delved deep into other spirits that much since I basically don't drink, but it probably gets stronger from whiskey on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodka is overhyped and better replaced by white rum, IMO - it's warmer with less of an afterburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
