deviant · Post by **deviant** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 10:29 am

hard to choose just one innit.

beer goes down awesomely sometimes, sometimes it's just not the right thing. GnT is a massive favourite, love a good scotch, rum, cocktails are good (occasionally

), wine with food ftw.

fuck me, I'm an alcoholic!

Yeah tough call...

If I could afford to drink (or be assed to make) good mojitos all the time - I probably would.

Good beer.

The Rum of Captain Morgan

Following the death of Captain Henry Morgan during an expedition to the Caribbean, Morgan's body was preserved in a cask of rum to allow transport back to England. Upon arrival, the cask was opened and found to be empty of rum. The pickled body was removed and upon inspection, it was discovered that the sailors had drilled a hole in the bottom of the cask and drank all the rum and in the process drinking Morgan's blood. This tale serves as a basis for Morgan's Blood being used to describe the rum.

During the 80's Captain Morgan's slogan was "Got a little Captain in You?"

i taught myself to love beer when i was growing up in SA and coopers was our staple food.
but for some reason lately it makes me tired > even a copule! wtf is up with that?

i dont drink brown spirits either
LOVE a good vodka, with soda and fresh lime, least sugar and crap of any drink imo.
LOVE a good g&T, especially in hot weather
LOVE a tasty interesting cocktail but lets face it, you can drink em all night.

bonus points for
chambourd anything
cranberry juice
extra lime
tall glasses

according to their website, hendricks and tonic should ONLY have cucumber, no lime...

I agree, as I didn't really like it the first time I had it (with lime)... now I love it more than life

Whats your favourite?
