drinks

reading about the birthdays and graduations got me thinking about partying, drinking etc. i am curious as to what everyone's favorite mixed drinks are? i am actually not working on new year's eve, and will be sitting at home listening to the police scanner and definitely drinking. yes, i know i am pathetic but it is entertaining, and much safer than being on the roads 😀 anyway, i am partial to long island iced teas, and am more than partial to veuve cliquot champagne - yum ! any other suggestions to try ?

Mine is Gin and Tonic with a twist of lime. YUM!!!! Hey Audie, I noticed in your profile that you are a pharmacist, what do you recommend for hangover relief? We all might need to know in the coming weeks. 😀

keep yourself hydrated - drink lots and lots of water, esp. before going to bed, that's the best advice i can give you. except don't drink too much, so do what i say, and not what i do ! seriously i know some people swear by the hangover relief things you can buy, if they work for you - go for it ! maybe that should be a tangent ???

I have to say, the water is the best advice. I have never been one to do the "hair of the dog that bit you", because more alcohol is the last thing I want after I have over indulged. I will do as you say and not what you do. Thank you.

Bloody mary's for me. Even virgin mary's are good.

Why ruin good liquor with mixers. Maybe two cubes of ice, but nothing else. The key is to buy good sipping liquor.😀

I'm a Crown girl. I like Beam on game day.
Last night for the b'day party we had a bottle of Ketel One between 3 girls wihch also did the trick.
Shots? Want to get me on the bar- Jaeger

Next day? Gatorade and water. Drink the headache away.

Bingo. McCallen 15 with a few cubes.

I prefer "Pink Drinks" myself - which would be a Cosmo or just vodka & cranberry. Of course, these are completely healthy because I make them with real cranberry juice - I get lots of vitamin C!!!

Well, if you like champagne, you might like this--a yummy, pretty, festive drink is a glass of prosecco with a little splash of Chambord! It's really nice on NYE and Valentine's Day, too.

Or a Kir Royale--champagne and creme de cassis. I could polish off a entire bottle of champagne drinking that concoction. (and have :oops: )

If I were old enough to drink I would probably agree with you.

mermaid, i think you and i sound a lot alike ! many times i have been forced to drink the whole bottle of champagne because the mr. doesn't like it. and once you open it, you can't waste the bottle, right ! ok, so maybe i wasn't forced. more like happy.....

Well, if we're ever at the beach at the same time, I certainly will! I'm out of the champagne but I have a nice few bottles of good French creme de cassis.

Since I am among friends, I will tell you that last New Year's Eve we did not even celebrate. Why? We had our friends over for dinner the night before and we had a sumptuous French menu (we are all Francophiles) and 3 bottles of champagne and creme de cassis, in addition to the dinner wine. We all got very happily tipsy and Merman assures me that I spent the night in the bathroom puking my guts out but I don't believe him because I don't remember. :idontno:
