Just a fun little thread! What is your favourite tipple??

I'm heading overseas soon and staying with a Leo friend, so will grab him something tasty duty free... So any ideas? He's ruled out tequila (what a spoilsport!😉), but otherwise just said to surprise him!

So I thought I'd saunter in and ask the big cats- something regal & classy? exclusive? delicious...? What is your particular brand of poison?!

Sorry to disappoint everyone... Maybe I should start another thread??!

Thanks peeps- he does like beer, seems fond of wheat beers actually but as I'm going through duty free I thought I'd splash out and get him a bottle of something nice- top shelf even... Whisky, Bourbon, Vodka...?

Sadly E-T I haven't seen Rakija here in NZ... Is Ouzo, Jagermeister or Sambuca similar?
(And you curious kitty, he is what Seraph calls my flingy Leo- lets just say that perhaps a smidgen of my scorp merc may've influenced the title 😉 A little holiday romance is a good thing...)

Rakija is basically like Sljivovica, but I do like booze that tastes like grandpa's old cough medicine, as in J?_germeister.

That's nice, you deserve some Leo in your life.. 😉 Where are you going on holiday btw?

That might help some.

For me: Sauvignon Blanc

Well Miss J, you will need to drag your scorp down to NZ for a holiday! We have some truly sublime Sav's- especially in the Hawkes Bay. But we have stunning vineyards throughout the country.

Ta E-T, I'm skipping over to Melbourne in Australia just for a long weekend! Jager was on the list, so that is good! Would love to try your Rajika one day. He is a bit of a honey, I am so looking forward to it! I'll probably have a series of "Why is my Leo disappearing" threads in a couple of weeks... Just kidding- permission to slap me if I do!

Vodka is my poison. Out and about, Long Island. Home. Tea or cranberry with vodka. Or Harmoine Blush. No dark liquors and especially no tequila. Wine I like Pinot Girgio or known as Gris. No beer.

Ohh-- Brandy. Definitely.

But anything like bourbon, whisky, scotch-- all good, all appreciated.

They smell soo good. 😄

I refuse to drink Jager on principle-- it's fking cabbage liqueur (not liquor... liqueur).

Bleh *shudder*

Hope you have a wonderful time. 😉

Mmm! I'm a vodka girl too- the new Wild Tea Absolut is quite lovely- very aromatic! http://www.absolut.com/nz/products/absolutwildtea/description

I am picky on my vodka, Absolute is a brand I can not do. I like Pinnacle, Ciroc, Glass Skull, and Smirnoff .

My girlfriend is the same with Absolut! She can't stand it.
I am a fan of flavoured vodkas- just with soda water. Like their cherrykran too, but the dragonfruit or acaiberry not so much
I love 42 below- feijoa or their passionfruit, but also Skyy... want to try the pineapple and ginger ones!

I find it interesting that no tequila is across the board 🙂 it makes me mean. I agree with the white wine. Pino Grigio is my fav. I happen to like beer though. If you're looking for liquor, I'll agree with J?_ger. It's the only hard alcohol I'll drink...

Oh, oh... Going to pen NZ down on my holiday list now.
If I knock really hard on your door, will you have a drink with me? 🙂

Certainly will Miss J!!!
Door is always open... Infact this is a wee shot from my deck a week or two ago!

Sorry! Someone put a margarita in the way 😛
