What are you drinking?

[mn dave]

Mostly Diet Coke, coffee, bottled water and iced tea.

Sometimes a beer or a martini.

All in the same glass?

Heehee.

Oh, and Lipton tea. I think that's about it.

I drink a nice Riesling, inspire by the Aspargus burst at the listening thread!

Time to resurrect this thread.   

Earl Grey tea from Upton Tea Imports.

Coincidentally, just last night I went to a bar known for making interesting cocktails, and had one made with Earl Grey tea-infused gin.  And it was actually quite delicious--I would never have put those two flavors together, but there you go.  It was apparently a drink originally made for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, to fit in with their afternoon tea.

Recipy please, for that sounds like a treat, in the warm weather we have these days, well almost sub tropical!

A Scot supporting the Dutch, well we Northern people are so much alike with the Scots, that it is only natural right?

Yesterday I had one of these:

Yesterday I had one of these:

Well Starbucks make a lot of coffee's, which one is this?
When I was in Chicago a while ago, I went to them and ordered a Migraine coffee, a speciality, not for the fainthearted, and they kept a list with names of people who took it and survived, needless to say only the Dutch did. Boy was that a strong mix!

That, sir, is a mint mocha chip frappuccino.

And is it a cold drink? or piping hot?

[SonicMan46]

Well, just for the record, my usual non-wine drinks are:

Coffee & tea - water & diet sodas (love root beer & cherry colas) - and lately, these Minute Maid Lemon & Orange Light Fruit drinks (come in cans or plastic bottles) - only about 10 cals/drink & nice getting away from the carbonation -

And is it a cold drink? or piping hot?

Cold. It's decadent, I tellz ya!

This place (The Pegu Club) guards its recipes closely, but it just has three ingredients, if I recall: the tea-infused gin, lemon syrup (I think they make their own) and a raw egg white, all shaken up vigorously with ice.  For those who might cringe at the egg white, it just makes the drink really foamy--actually a very nice touch--and they are very careful about freshness.

I was thinking about resurrecting this thread too. I've been drinking dirty martinis lately and wondered if anyone else liked them. Mrs. Rock thinks I'm crazy. I did discover I vastly prefer dirty vodka martiinis though...shaken not stirred    No, actually, I've only tried stirring them so far. Since I put six olives in the mix, not just the olive brine, shaking the concoction would give you a really disgusting looking drink.
