It's cocktail hour. What's your drink of choice?

[Ellie]

Whiskey or Amaretto Sour
Pina Colada
Purple Rain - unsurprisingly a fav of mine

 

[RJN]

Isn’t this because American margaritas are terrible?

Like all food and drink in America, it’s shitty from like Applebee’s or other places like that, but if you go to a nice bar/restaurant in a big city, it’ll be good quality

 

[RJN]

That’s how I feel about all drinks

Edit: this was supposed to be a response to @Lucille’s post about mojitos lasting 5 minutes

 

[Sheena]

Oh I’ll drink ANYTHING!

 

[Sheena]

I fancy a nice dirty martini now someone said it though

 

[RJN]

Oh I like pina coladas too, but that hardly feels like a cocktail since it’s almost a smoothie

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Lots of brine and THREE olives is how I make it

there's a place in Amsterdam that does a seriously legit piña colada. going on a saturday lunchtime for one or two to begin the weekend and then go SHOPPING is one of my fave little RITUALS

Well if I’m ever in Amsterdam, I’ll join you for all of that

 

[Kate]

YES to pina colada, so long as it's got enough coconut in

My current fave is one from https://www.wcbars.co.uk though - it's an Old Fashioned but with rum instead of bourbon (hate bourbon) and a hint of chocolate. LUSH

 

[Sheena]

I’ve got a BLACK CARD at a local cocktail emporium meaning I get half price cocktails. I abuse it QUITE regularly

 

[Sheena]

Love an Old Fashioned. And a Negroni.

 

[Kate]

I don't like margaritas either but that's because I hate tequila

Anything without tequila or bourbon in though, GET IN MY FACE

 

[Music]

I am partial to a LONG ISLAND ICE TEA

 

[Sheena]

Tequila is about the only thing I can’t drink. Instant vomit.

 

[Phoenix]

Espresso Martini

 

[jivafox]

Also love a Black Velvet

 

[Sheena]

In fact, I might just knock something up off the bar RIGHT NOW

 

[RJN]

When it comes to shots, I can only do tequila. Vodka makes me want to gag immediately and rum and gin aren’t much better.

That wine fridge looking AWFULLY EMPTY

 

[Alex]

Dirty martini is my cocktail of choice

I have to say I'm into my cocktails these days

Top 3 would be:

1. Dirty martini
2. Margarita
3. Whiskey sour

What can I say I am an old fashioned gal that way

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Ladies Im on the bloody mary

 

[big ron]

I do love a bloody mary for breakfast

 

[Sheena]

That wine fridge looking AWFULLY EMPTY

It’s actually ENTIRELY empty of wine. We ran out last weekend and I haven’t done the WEEKLY SHOP (WORKING MUM) yet as we’re away the weekend.

 

[Sheena]

I LIVE for a Bloody Mary at breakfast OR otherwise

 

[Sheena]

Has to be spicy, plenty of Worcester, lots of Tabasco, pepper and a twist of horseradish.

[Lucille]

I was extolling the virtues of INSTANT HOTEL to a work colleague last night!

 

[Eddie]

In honour of our recently departed Queen I’ve been indulging in a gin and Dubonnet.

PRECISELY how I made it

Good work! I keep trying to recruit converts but as yet nobody has bitten

Try it with rye, as I mentioned earlier.

Now a festival essential. Nothing like having an hour of fitful mdma napping before waking up, mixing an ice cold bloody mary and racking up a massive line of morning ket.

I think I'd quite like it, having read up on Doubonet.

 

[big ron]

Only a tenner at Waitrose, I'll get a bottle in.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Raspberry Daiquiri

 

[Lucille]

Some of you weren’t raised right.

White Russians are a festival essential in my group. Milk for breakfast feels perfectly normal.

 

[Sheena]

Too many cocktails for me and Mr Sheena…

 

[vespertine]

Mojito hands down - just goes down like a glove for me and before I know it I've turned into Katie Ledecky at the pool getting equal parts exercise and equal parts tan.
