GTKY: Drinky drinks

[BabyStandish]

I miss alcohol lately. 

What was your go-to drink prior to pregnancy? If you don't drink alcohol then what's your favorite non-alcoholic drink that you like to treat yourself with?

[BabyStandish]

My go-to drink is usually beer. I really enjoy IPA's..especially doubles, but also like stouts and porters a lot too. I like doing the pick-six at grocery stores and picking out new ones to try.

When we go out to eat I usually get frozen margaritas since it's usually at a tex-mex place. I love sangria swirl margaritas.

Fun!

I don't like beer at all. When out, I typically drink rum and coke or a fruity mixed drink with either rum or vodka. I also like sweet wines so that's what I typically drink at home.

Beer. A stout or a porter but usually a porter. This reminds me, Leinenkugel's winter should be out now... time to stock up for post baby! (It's a vanilla porter, one of my faves)

[chknma]

Good beer, wine

I'll do a mixed drink on vacation, but am not a big liquor fan overall

[Looney]

Pretty much water and only water. I do enjoy a kiwi lemonade from Applebees though.

I like beer - IPAs, saisons, and I was just starting to get into sour beers a bit. I also like wine - Malbec is usually my go-to but I'm not too picky. I don't drink cocktails often but I'll drink (or eat) anything with cilantro in it.

I don't really have a go-to drink but I love moscato. I also love margaritas. If I'm somewhere that is more of a "beer place", I get cider (I'm not a big beer fan).

Red wine is my favorite, and my go-to when out but I also love a good beer.

This time last year I tried a seasonal beer called Cudera that is a Cabernet Sauvignon Beer. It was delicious! Never had anything like it before. Locally made too. I'm thinking of tracking it down and buying a six pack to have on hand for after the baby is here.

White wine for me...moscato or Riesling in particular!

[lupincat]

PA has insane liquor laws so it's annoying to go to the liquor store so I don't really drink that often. BUT there's a Mexican restaraunt here that has amazing peach margaritas, I want one so bad these days. I also enjoy Blue Moon in the summer.

Dammit I want a drink now! Lol

[jmichlik]

I don't have one go-to drink, but I have a go-to drink color: blue. I'm not a big drinker but if I am at any sort of event with a bar I will ask if they have any blue drinks and I have gotten some good ones. I believe the blue in there is usually Hypnotiq, Pucker or Blue Curacao, but I just tend to love the flavors of blue things - this applies to candy and non-alcoholic drinks too actually

Red wine, all the way. The dryer the better. I used to drink more beer, but I love the hoppy stuff and they seem to trigger headaches for me. Barring migraines, though, IPAs all the way.

I'd have a mixed drink now and then, but they weren't my first choice, generally. jmichlik, I've also made those requests! Have you had a Grateful Dead?

[BabyStandish]

lupincat one good thing (among others) about a May baby is that we will get to enjoy margaritas during the hottest months of the summer like July and August.

I don't drink but I loveeee virgin pina coladas. I normally just drink water. I used to live on diet pepsi (not coke) but have tried to be healthier. I also like sparkling water with juice and lime.

[setsuna17]

I'm not a big alcohol drinker but I do love Bellinis.

Normally I drink a lot of diet coke... I still do

[tortor4]

Omg wine. Any wine. I miss wine so much.

[emmalynn]

I don't drink, but diet fountain soda and I are best friends

^^^^

I take a sip of H's now and then, but the heartburn is real. 

[lastkiss]

I'm not a huge drinker but Long Island Iced Teas are pretty awesome if they're made right. It can be hit or miss at restaurants.

Otherwise I'll usually go for a rum and coke or vodka cooler

[nikonine]

I love whiskey, particularly Whiskey Gingers, wine (not too dry, not too sweet) and beer of choice would be Alaskan White, or Blue Moon in the summer. I also like vodka.....I miss drinks 😔

I go back and forth depending on the time of year and my mood. When I'm in a wine mood, I drink sparkling wine (champagne, prosecco, whatever) and rose. We brew our own beer occasionally, so we try different styles and clones of some of our favorites. My all-time favorite beer is Bell's Two Hearted, followed closely by Lawson's Sip of Sunshine. Neither are sold here in NJ, but I can hop over the bridge to pick up Bell's and my brother spends a lot of time in Vermont, so I may request that he pick up a case of SoS on one of his final trips this winter.

river, Bells Two Hearted is so good!
