What mixed drink or cocktail do liberals prefer?

[old mark]

My drinking is limited to tea and herbal iced tea without caffiene, so I am no authority.

I'm thinking RWers would drink cheap beer or bourbon and tap water....are we better than that?

1. I had my first mixed drink a few days ago

Cranberry juice with vodka.

[nomorenomore08]

2. I like whiskey sours, but that seems like kind of a Republican drink.

Which is to say, old-fashioned, unimaginative, etc.

[MadBadger]

5. Well I like a whisky sour or a good beer

Guess I'm votin for Palin!

[nomorenomore08]

22. Nah, I think a Palin voter would more likely choose Bud Light.

Or better yet Coors Light, the RW fundie of pisswater beers (see Pete Coors). ;)

[Richardo]

3. This liberal likes the gin and tonic

It's about the only mixed drink I can stomach anymore. No brown liquors for this kid.

...that said, I'm most likely found with a glass of wine or a Texas bock. :beer:

[Patiod]

14. Mmmm.....tanqueray and tonic

I can smell] the goodness sometimes as it goes by on a tray.

T&T - the Official Drink of Summer.

[gvstn]

24. I used to love tanqueray and tonics

Then I realized all my friends had gin and tonic stories about me. I had to take their word for it because I couldn't remember.

Alas, I had to strike gin off my list. Even one and I lose my memory and apparently my inhibitions too.

It truly was the official drink of summer back in the day! :)

4. I like a cold IPA or a gin & tonic

I wouldn't call Mrs. av8rdave a RWer, but I am FAR left of her. She is fairly knowledgable on wines, and enjoys a good one now and then.

You raise an interesting question though....are stupid/ignorant/racist/intolerant people more likely to drink crappy beer/liquor?

[DFW]

6. I don't do alcohol

But organic apricot nectar gets me higher than anything that is served at most happy hours anyway.

[Tobin S.]

7. Y'all can have that fancy stuff. Just gimme a beer.

I had a really good beer while I was up in Wisconsin called Sprecher I do believe. It was recommended by a fellow DUer who was from Wisconsin. I actually don't have the stomach for liquor. A couple of shots of whiskey makes me feel like I want to hurl.

10. When you go through Eastern PA, try Yuengling's - they make a GREAT dark beer, better than Guiness

IMO...

They are America's oldest working brewery - made ice cream during prohibition.

8. What's wrong with bourbon and tap water?

I actually like that drink, although I run the tap water through my seltzer bottle first and throw in a twist of lemon.

From my observations, alcohol consumption seems to be pretty much non-partisan, although cheap beers seem to sell better down south.

[Jokerman]

9. Pure grain alcohol and rain water.

[uncommon]

11. Vodka (preferably Stoli or Ketel One, occasionally Grey Goose) with soda and lime.

Rosie's lime juice is a nice touch if you like things a bit sweeter. Sometimes I add lemon and orange slices.

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. I drank to FAR excess on my motorcycle one day/night...

.
.
.
.
.
...and got VERY lucky and didn't harm anybody OR myself OR my bike.
.
.
.
.
.
But I could have and almost certainly should have.
.
.
.
.
.
So I stopped drinking on the bike.
.
.
.
.
.
Drank seltzer water with a tiny spritz of Rose's lime. TASTY...
and very refreshing.
.
.
.
.
.
When I drank a "cocktail", it was good Scotch with soda on the
side... both with ice in them.

12. I'll drink pretty much anything you put in front of me.

I prefer a good strong dark beer but if that's not around I like Jameson + ginger ale.

[cherokeeprogressive]

31. HA I was thinking the same thing. I prefer Beer, Tokes, and Tequila but if all you have is Scotch

we can drink it.

[old mark]

37. ...me, too - that's why I don't drink any more. nt

[Deep13]

15. Glenlivet 18

[crim son]

16. A Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice) n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. since my ulcer has flared, about the only thing that sounds palatable

is scotch and milk

[Flipper999]

18. Not sure if it counts, but my drink of choice is absinthe.

Glad they legalized it.

[Seneca]

19. .

20. To celebrate a standing Saturday night date with the mate.

It is most often Spanish coffee. This calls for a shot of 151, a shot of Kahlua, and a splash of triple sec (orange liqueur), fill out with coffee and throw on a spoonful of vanilla ice cream. But first, you are required to line the rim of the cup with sugar and light the alcohol for it to blend. We call them fire candy. Summer does come along though, and when it gets too hot, we switch to Strawberry Margaritas, or if there's pizza or hot tub time, we opt for Corona to wash it down or water the insides.

[SteppingRazor]

21. I prefer Scotch. But a liberal drink I suppose would depend on how liberal you are...

maybe something with curacao, for all the Democrats, something with grenadine for all the socialists? :)

[Fleshdancer]

23. Mexican martini

I love the stuff

[MrSlayer]

25. I like Captain Morgan mixed with more Captain Morgan.

Yo Ho Motherfuckers!

[MissMillie]

26. I like a good margarita

but that's just me

(of course, this is when I'm not drinking beer or tequila straight up)

[doc03]

27. Beer or wine I have never had a mixed drink I liked n/t

[rrneck]

28. Tequila. But we usually settle for warm milk. nt

[Arctic Dave]

29. Roofie-colada.

Giggity giggitty, oh yeah!

[fishwax]

30. I like cheap beer

I like nice microbrews too, but there are some cheap beers that are quite good. :beer:

[petronius]

32. Real liberals like what I like - everythng else is crap! And I won't concede bourbon to the wingers

Actually, I suspect it's more regional than ideological in terms of what people prefer to drink, and I also suspect that regional divisions have broken down in recent years as drink trends have spread around the country. However, every region still seems to have a definitive beer or two, and the South is probably ahead in bourbon appreciation...

[akbacchus_BC]

33. old mark, how are you? This a lounge thread hon. Mix me a double

Ceaser, so I can go make a fool of myself in DU.

Thank you very much

[Enthusiast]

34. Bourbon and tap water. nt

[mnhtnbb]

35. My favorite is a brandy Manhattan-up, of course. Are you pouring?

[intheflow]

36. Panama Red.

:smoke:

[Brother Buzz]

38. I'm a winemaker but I discovered.....

It takes a lot of beer to make wine. Any cold cheap American lager is more receptive to the work party than the heavier craft ales and lagers during the hot harvest season. Cold is the operative word.

The gin is only broken out once the equipment is cleaned and squared away. The camp is evenly split between 'Gin and tonic' or 'Tinys' (a fifth of gin poured over crushed ice in a large glass pitcher). I like both equally well as long as ALL the work is completed.

The brown stuff only comes out late at night and it is consumed neat.

[tigereye]

39. all those flavored martinis?

I prefer craft beers and good wine myself. :shrug:
