Gin with red vermouth and lots of ice. Very nearly a cocktail I suppose.

by **Zosherooney** » August 18th, 2010, 10:09 pm

Do you know FCQ, I sometimes have a cocktail for pudding, if I need something sweet for a change. I have reverted to a Cinzano and Lemonade recently, loads of ice and a huge wedge of lemon. Almost have to go and put a flower in my hair ! ! !

by **frenchcheesequeen** » August 18th, 2010, 10:14 pm

There exists a photograph of me taken in San Francisco with flowers in my hair.

Back in the Summer of Love (yes, I remember it well) though I don't recall any of us drinking anything more sophisticated than either Coke or Cona coffee. Alcohol simply was not on the agenda - I suppose because we were of that post war generation whose parents bought a bottle of sherry every Christmas whether they were expecting visitors or not.

You will be pleased to know I have made up for it since.

by **Wordsworth** » August 19th, 2010, 1:09 pm

We had alcohol regularly when I was growing up.

Dad had a can of Mcewan's Export every Sunday lunch, Mum had lemonade and the 3 of us had whatever pop Mum had bought from the Corona man.

As I became older Dad would offer me a shandy, which was about half an inch of his beer filled up with lemo.
This continued until I left home...and quite possibly on visits home afterwards!

We drank tea at all other meals.

I've just been handed a small glass of Gloucestershire perry and told to come down if I want more - so I'm off!

by **tezza** » August 21st, 2010, 2:52 pm

A small glass of red wine leftover in the bottom of a bottle just found in the beer fridge. :cocktail:

by **Zosherooney** » August 21st, 2010, 6:23 pm

I asked for a "pudding Cocktail" after a very late carpet picnic and was handed a vodka, coke and tia maria, 2nd one tastes even better. :cocktail:

by **ianinfrance** » August 22nd, 2010, 8:47 pm

Instant cawfee! Just arrived.

by **Angela** » August 22nd, 2010, 9:03 pm

Had a very nice Shiraz with my roast forerib of beef earlier (claret would have been better but it was a nice wine) but now having a pre-bed brandy. Then i'm going to have lots of water, then bed :-)

by **Mamta** » August 23rd, 2010, 5:28 am

I am drinking hot, black tea, with mint leaves :mug:

, then off for a swim!

by **Zosherooney** » August 25th, 2010, 6:17 pm

A bottle of Crabbies Alcholic ginger beer and very nice it is too. yes, a tad on the sweet side but nice and "warm" (gingery) :cocktail:

by **Monnikka** » August 29th, 2010, 2:12 pm

Mug of Kallo very low salt stock cube with Tabasco to give it more flavour.

by **BelgianEndive** » August 30th, 2010, 7:56 am

Just had a couple of :mug:

of Twinings Gunpowder green tea. Yesterday, we had pink champagne, followed by red wine. We managed to take a 30min walk late afternoon in-between rain showers to clear the head!

A blonde Page 24. From the Brasserie St Germain in Aix-Noulette. One of my favourite beers. One that I shall try to emulate with my own cuve-matiere.

by **Mamta** » September 6th, 2010, 4:29 am

Green Cardamom and ginger Tea, very refreshing!

by **Mamta** » September 6th, 2010, 12:49 pm

I just had some cold coffee, made from left over filter coffee, skimmed milk and candrel sweetner. It was good :-)

I've just had a steaming hot mug of miso soup with wakame. Delicious and very warming on this rainy day.

by **ianinfrance** » September 7th, 2010, 5:06 pm

by **BelgianEndive** » September 10th, 2010, 4:29 pm

I had home made ice tea on the road to Paris. I think I'll have a glass of old port in a while.

by **Lush** » September 10th, 2010, 4:50 pm

Snappo......!

I had a comforting mug of miso with wakame at lunch too - is that a nod to Winter or what?
Although - TBH - if I'm in need of any comforting - I have it all year round!

Right now I have just poured myself a glass of Langhorne Creek - a shiraz - not as good as expected - but not bad - and anyway there is the rest of the case to get through - so although it's not yet 'yardarm' - I'm helping out

and besides - after my day - I deserve it...and some!

HI Elisa !
I have this infantile image of you on all fours slurping ice tea off the road..................
:oops:

Sooorrrry......................!

by **Foodycat** » September 10th, 2010, 5:08 pm

Peach iced tea. But surely it is now time to open a proper bottle?

by **Luca** » September 10th, 2010, 5:10 pm

It is indeed.... I shall be pouring myself a glass of a rather nice red in a moment or two.

by **BelgianEndive** » September 10th, 2010, 5:15 pm

by **Lush** » September 10th, 2010, 5:30 pm

Wahey Luca..........!!!

It's long overdue (as is mine) - are you in training yet? Got to get those leg muscles strenthened and those arm muscles elongated.....you know the drill - and with extra space too.....Jackpot!!

Good time to go too - is your stash right down?
I always have an angelic feeling if I've used up most of the reserves (groceries) the booze disappears much quicker. His Lushlyness has long been fed up of his weekly jaunts to Majestic and the wine club - not enough choice for him - the pressure is on........!!

Great that you're meeting up with Elisa too - how long are going for?

Deeply jealous.............................!

by **Lush** » September 10th, 2010, 5:42 pm

No - it's not your prose Elisa - more like my warped mind...!

I love Paris in the Autumn - if I remember right wasn't it around this time of year that you made your first visit to Monsieur......................?

by **Luca** » September 10th, 2010, 5:53 pm

Just a quick jaunt to catch up with the family and I'm taking time out from the outlaws to meet up with Elisa and her OH. I'm really looking forward to it as due to one thing and another we haven't been to France as often as we'd like recently.

My supplies are gone........... apart from one very large tin of cassoulet which is left over from our last big shop and wasn't exactly what we wanted to eat in the so called summer!
Now - better keep this thread on topic so leave me your ideas here......

Schweppes 1783 cucumber tonic. It very good, especially at half price in ASDA.

by **TeresaFoodie** » July 27th, 2019, 7:58 am

I must try that Amber. I will be in Asda today and am really into my fizzy tonic drinks at the moment.

Right now I have orange juice mixed with tonic on the go which seems to work well with my morning cereal with mixed berries. :chops:

by **TeresaFoodie** » July 29th, 2019, 6:34 pm

A festive sherry.

by **StokeySue** » December 23rd, 2019, 8:05 pm

Someone else has mentioned Topaz

I am drinking a sort of Negroni (not the full amount of gin)

by **scullion** » December 25th, 2019, 9:26 am

nothing - i've been offered a coffee but it hasn't materialised.
yesterday i was drinking homemade irish cream liqueur and gin tea - had to - there wasn't enough room in the bottles.
i will be drinking more of them later.

by **WWordsworth** » December 27th, 2019, 5:33 pm

Oh dear Scully.
Your coffee has a habit of taking it's time, doesn't it :lol:

Surely you haven't been waiting since July?

by **scullion** » January 9th, 2020, 8:39 pm

yeah, sometimes - but maybe i just don't mention it when it turns up before i've been asked!

gin tea - there's a big bottle in the fridge to get through.

by **WWordsworth** » January 12th, 2020, 7:33 pm

Bombay Sapphire gin with Fevertree.
(Which predictive just changed to Regretted. Do they know something I don't?)
