I'm relatively depraved on all fronts, but right now I'm curious about drinks. Achoholic/non-alchoholic, I don't care. Speak. Share things.

Alchoholic:
Cognac
Tom Collins
Rum (2 bacardis mixed) & Coke

Non:
Dominion Ginger Ale (*gasp* actual ginger flavor!)

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Alcoholic:

default - The Eternal Dry Martini with vodka (Absolut) and bleu cheese olives
customary - Cosmopolitan with Absolut Mandarin vodka and twist of lemon;
Maker's Mark (bourbon) & soda with twist of lemon
seasonal - Tanqueray & tonic (but only during the summer); Cuba Libré (summer only - twif, you should try this one!); Bombay Sapphire Gin Gimlet (which I prefer to make at home, most young bartenders don't know how to make it properly; summer); White Russian (autumn/winter; David at Big Chick's makes the most superb one - he shakes it an a cocktail shaker!); Hot Buttered Rum (winter); Hot Chocolate made with Ibarra chocolate, 1 part whole milk, 1 part coconut cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and 1 once of dark rum (winter)
supremely evil (which is rarely) - Boodles Gin Martini with olive, chilled to within an inch of its life

Non-alc:

Canada Dry Ginger Ale (fake, yes, but readily available)
Canada Dry 50/50 (splendid grapefruit citrus flavour)

[justG]

Alcoholic: Butterscoth Sundae
Non: Arizona Mandarin Green Tea

[GreenJeanz]

Alcoholic:
Asti Spumante wine.

Non-Alcoholic:
COFFEE. Love hot coffee and cold coffee equally. I take my regular hot coffee extra strong with lots of creme(powdered usually).
Vanilla coke
Iced tea(Garnish: Lemon slices or mint.) with sugar
Herbal teas(specifically orange cinnamon ceylon or mint)
Chai(With creme and milk)
Regular hot tea(Garnish: Lemon juice or cinnamon powder) with sugar. No creme or milk.
Sierra Mist
Livewire Mountain Dew
Dr Pepper

[Zygomaticus]

Don't drink alcohol...

So, I guess it's just whimpy old orange juice for me

Coke and Pepsi, I've recently taken a disliking to, so they go down on the list. But Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper, all up there.

Water, of course

[DustCropper]

I'm an iced tea kind of guy.

As for soft drinks, my favorite is Dr. Pepper.

I don't drink very much alcohol but my favorite is red wine. I'm not a very sophisticated person and I can't really tell the difference between the cheap stuff and the expensive kind. It's a good thing too because I don't have much money.

[twifkak]

Hrm... Come to think of it, I'm an idiot. All this is going to do is make me upset that I'm not yet 21.

Pluh.

Green tea. When it's good, yeah. I really need to take some time to get into the whole loose tea scene.

[hagstrumpa]

A properly made Bloody Mary is always welcome

[RemiO]

Alcoholic: Tanqueray & tonic

Non-alcoholic: Diet Rite.

[Phil25]

The strong stuff:
Whiskey {no brand}
Bailey's
Mike's Hard Lemonade

Non:
Sprite
Coke
Sprite/Barq's 80%-20% mix

[GreenJeanz]

Oh, I forgot to ask. Trep, how do you think the hot chocolate would be minus the rum? It sounds delicious but obviously rum is off my list, as I can't buy it myself and my mother never does.

[tabacco]

For anyone interested in a virgin mint julep:

1 cup Sugar
3 tsp Lime Juice Concentrate
3 cups Soda Water
6 tbsp Creme DeMenthe
6 oz. thawed Lemonade Concentrate

Dissolve sugar into soda water. Add lime juice and lemonade and bring to
boil. Remove from heat and add Creme DeMenthe. Chill.
To serve, combine 3 parts syrup to 5 parts water.

Yield: Approx. 2/3 gal.

[GreenJeanz]

Is there such a thing as Creme DeMenthe flavouring, without the actual alcohol? Jesus, I'm annoying.
I really have no dislike for alcohol, it's just not something I can drink actively, nor would I want to drink it a lot. And I can't buy just anything because my mom has to buy it and it's not like she'd let me drink it whenever I wanted to anyway, she only lets me have the asti ocassionally. These mixes sound sooo good, gah, that I must ask for the substitutes..

Or does boiling it remove the alcohol? I know that other forms of cooking such as baking, frying, etc cause alcohol to evaporate, but does boiling?

[tabacco]

Alcohol has a very low boiling point and a very low evaporation point. Try splashing some rubbing alcohol on a hot sidewalk and you'll see it vanish pretty darn quickly

Boiling definitely does the trick.

Even without that, creme de menthe is 30% alcohol by volume, and 6 Tablespoons is about 0.023 gallons. Diluted into 0.66 gallons, I think you're more likely to get drunk from a good tiramisu than this recipe

[James]

it used to be an irish coffee. then it was a coffee [gave up drink] now its a green tea [gave up coffee]

[Pappapisshu]

Alcoholic:
Beer, beer, beer. Nothing's better than beer. Everything from European Lagar and Witbeers, to British Ale.
Wine, red in particular. Although, I'm no connaisseur - I can't tell them apart, really - I enjoy it.
Other than that, White Russian always works.

Non:
Coffee
Green Tea
Coke/Vanilla Coke
Pepsi Twist

[Henke]

Alchoholic:
Carlsberg Hof
Salnecke Äppel-Glögg (Glögg is burnt and spiced brandy or mulled and spiced wine)

Non-alcoholic:
Earl grey
Iced tea peach
Pepsi Max

[Tamara]

Alcoholic:
most vodkas, but generally the ubiquitous vodka-orange
mescal, if I wanna wake up/get hyper (HATE the taste though)
Chateau Neuf de Pape, about the best red wine there is, for an occasion
White Zinfandel, my favourite Rosé wine
Also, I still have to try an (outrageous-sounding) drink a friend of mine recommended .. apparently it's great - vodka-lime-jack-coke. Don't ask me, haven't tried it yet

Non-Alcoholic:
Fanta Lemon, I adore it
Water, heh, which is what I drink most of
Tea, plain- milk but no sugar, ugh

btw how can you guys drink Vanilla Coke? It's .. weird

Also, muahahaha @ Twif - I find it soo funny that the drinking age there is 21 very unrealistic IMO. Here it's 16, which, let's face it, you're not going to find that many 16 year olds anywhere who've never had any alcohol

[Synonym]

White Russian 6cl Vodka, 3cl Kahlua and Milk (fatty milk).
Whisky (Laprhoaig 15 yrs., Glenfiddich, Aberlour). Straight up, with a glass of water on the side. No water (in any form) added to the whisky.
Jägermeister

champagne and sparkling wine
- of the latter especially Freixenet cava wines, which are afforable and tasty. my pre-party / party / afterparty drink of choice.
red and white wines

Bloody Mary
GT Bombay
Stolichnaya
- Screwdriver, Vodka Tonic, Bolly-Stolly... you name it

freshly-squeezed fruit juice
