Mr. Beanz Posted December 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2013 We rarely drink but when we do, I need something to make it fun. C'mon people, NY's Eve, give me some ideas! Need some ideas of something good to share that might be fun! Margaritas, meh, lady's drink but she likes them and I only drink them so she doesn't drink alone. Somebody has to do it! She tasted a whiskey called Fireball. She really liked it so we drank a bottle. Fun but a bit strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted December 31, 2013 Long Island Ice Tea. We've tried those, OK but a bit too much of an alcohol taste for her. I must say, powerful and fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted December 31, 2013 Oh oh, good idea! I have heard others speak of the Jagermeister stuff. Got to try that. i think somebody gave Gina a taste of that at a party. She said it was good but it totally slipped my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted December 31, 2013 I've heard of mojito too, not sure what it is, care to explain or I'll have to do a search later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted December 31, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 31, 2013 The best ones are the basics, not the fancy basterdized ones. Muddle some fresh mint in a glass, ad fresh lime juice, simple syrup, ice and top it up with light rum. Put another glass over it and shake. Enjoy with your toes in the sand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted December 31, 2013 Share #9 Posted December 31, 2013 I've heard of mojito too, not sure what it is, care to explain or I'll have to do a search later. Here you go - with that little marijuana garnish on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

az_cyclist Posted December 31, 2013 Share #11 Posted December 31, 2013 sorry Beanz, but no help here... when I drink hard liquor it is a margarita (on the rocks) , scotch, or crown royal and water. at Jimmy Buffet concerts it is malibu rum with pineapple juice. oh, every now and then I like coffee with Baileys Irish Cream.... or just the Baileys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Beanz Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted December 31, 2013 ... when I drink hard liquor it is a margarita (on the rocks) Gina likes the margis cause she likes to line to top with lots of salt. Ick, gives me goose bumps! Have tried rum and scotch. Couldn't enjoy it. Maybe I'm the girlie type of drinker ha ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was good but Gina got a little freaked cause she lost recollection of what happened after the first few shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted December 31, 2013 Share #15 Posted December 31, 2013 Whiskkey Sour or Old Fashioned are my go to. Just get the pre mixed sour mix, add, whiskey, garnish with a cherry for whiskey sour. Bitters, cubed sugar and whiskey for old fashioned. Dirty Vodka martinins are also nice. I like Monopolowa vodka for those. If you can find Schwepps Bitter Lemon, then gin and bitter lemon is a good drink as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted January 1, 2014 Share #19 Posted January 1, 2014 I love Fireball. I discovered it early this year. Then I learned a drink called "Angry Birds" which is an Angry Orchard Hard Cider with some Fireball mixed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Beanz Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted January 1, 2014 Have to try that. Fireball is like eating red hots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted January 1, 2014 Share #21 Posted January 1, 2014 Have to try that. Fireball is like eating red hots It's really good. The funny thing is that neither are strong (alcohol-wise, that is). Fireball is only 60 proof (versus 80 proof for most whiskeys), but when mixed together they seem to intensify. They hit me much harder than drinking one alcoholic drink of that strength normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ Posted January 1, 2014 Share #22 Posted January 1, 2014 I'm just a boring wine drinker, I should branch out a little more, but tonight I am drinking alone in peace and quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
