Water, it's so good I'd die without it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That's just what Big Doctor wants you to think

Drinking my 4th liter of water today lol (yesterday I probably exceeded 6liters, if I include milk consumption)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OP said taste, not hydration 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Water is delicious

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Water.

Very.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A pilsner instead of the IPA I normally have, but I like to switch it up once in a while. After a long day of being in charge of keeping alive four kids (plus three visitors from the neighborhood), two cats, and a dog the size of a small horse, the flavor isn't as important as the fact that I now get to have a beer with my feet up on the table.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Water (cooled to preference)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Manly spirits Australian dry gin, fever tree premium light tonic, sliced fresh cucumber. Perfect summertime refresher.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I fuckin love a gin and tonic, sounds and looks delicious!

I'm drinking a hard cider right now for example, and its thoroughly delicious, one of my favorites. I might have some rosé bubbly wine later too if hubs doesn't want it, but I gotta wait for him to get home first.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Was looking through people's comments and was going to comment hard cider as well, and yours was the final comment! What sort are you drinking?

Today I had Blake's Triple Jam, it is pretty good. Cider's the only alcoholic drink I've ever had where almost regardless of the particular cider I don't need to "get used" to the taste. Most of the time I dislike regular beer and hard liquor is to be tolerated, mixed drinks don't count, that's cheating (but delicious)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'm doing schilling excelsior tonight, it's pretty delicious. Plus, there's a giraffe in a helmet on it, which is adorable. They're 8.4% though so I gotta be careful with them

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yerba mate 10/10 will do again shortly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Good call, shit is delicious. Thanks for reminding me I need to get more yerba!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Summer Shandy. It's a good summer drink.

I'll be off to buy a few drinks in a moment, for the family:

  • me - a "double malt" Pilsner. Plenty people dislike it because it's rather bitter, but I love it for that very reason.
  • sister - a local Pilsner that has barely any hint of bitterness, she'd rather drink lighter beers.
  • BIL, mum - a sweet stout. It's locally sold as "Malzbier" but it has higher alcoholic content than Eastern European Malzbiere.
  • nephew - coin toss between apple juice or soda.

That'll side some entrevero that I should be getting ready to prepare right now, instead of loafing around in Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Brazil. The Malzbiere in question are around 4% ABV, by no means "strong" but not children drink either. (For reference the local Pilsner are roughly the same in alcohol content.) But they're fairly popular among people who like sweeter beers, specially now in winter.

I'm having water (do a Dry July every year) and earlier had cafe con leche.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I have a drink I've nicknamed the one-and-done.

  • 2oz bourbon (I currently use Elijah Craig small batch)
  • 1oz citrus vodka (using Smirnoff)
  • syrup to taste (I've tried a bunch of different combos; currently using about .75 oz triple sec syrup and 1.5 oz homemade honey/peach)
  • top with soda or tonic (or don't, I'm currently out)
  • garnish with lemon
  • sip slowly

It lives up to the name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

You had me with bourbon, I need to try that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Nectarine iced green tea. Last time I made this my pug chugged half a glass while I stepped away for a moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Water, and its not. But im constipated

Dr Pepper. I can never quite describe the way it tastes but I always drink it in little sips because the flavor is very savoury to me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Crystal Lite wild strawberry with caffeine.

A lot tastier than it really should be and keeps me alert better than coffee

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Lucozade pink lemonade. I might have a problem, and that problem is I don't have enough of it :-P

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

A pilsner. Locally popular brand called Mortiz. Why? It's what's on tap. It's decent, one of the better industrial pilsners. The night is young and I expect to be drinking more beer tonight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Not currently drink ing but got transferred to Texas. And they have this drink called the bong hitter where they light the drink on fire and then blow it out and you inhale the smoke take the shot and exhale a cloud of smoke.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Maritime Night Watch at my favorite wing shop. It's pretty great

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I go with broke bitch at my local bar. Old Crow and Black Label beer. Cheapest way to get drunk in the neighborhood

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Cracking into the Chivis regal. Been one hell of a week for me and I didn't even have to deal with CrowdStrike last week.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Coffee, ground with vanilla bean, brewed over fresh gound cinnamon. Very.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

ground cacao beans brewed like tea or coffee.

Just shared one of these with my girlfriend before walking her to the bus stop:

Fuckin lovely.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Strawberry lemonade. Very tasty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Iced espresso. Double shot in a glass of ice, top up with cold water to taste. A little sugar. My own roast. I think it's excellent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Guaraná Antártica. I don't buy it often. It just sounded good so I bought a 2 litre.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Mandatory black coffee (iced) then filtered water (chilled) all day.

Both are the best tasty liquid in the world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Vodka Martini with Dolin dry Vermouth and garlic-stuffed olives.

Edit: also, first time trying a new roasted barley tea. 99 Ranch was out of the regular stuff. Decent price and zero caffeine. Great for daily, afternoon sipping without getting the jitters.
