Favorite Form of Alcohol

[GetBert]

Out of the hard alcohols I prefer vodka and rum. I haven't really found a beer that tastes great to me. Got a variety pack of Real Ale yesterday but it's just not yummy. Wines are okay in mixers, same with brandies (obviously I lack a refined palate). Tried Absinthe, can't stand licorice.

Absinthe isn't flavoured with liquorice. You might be thinking of pastis, which like absinthe is flavoured with anise, but also contains liquorice.

I've had absinthes which taste strongly of liquorice before. Could it be some of the other ingredients in it tast like liquorice?

Not really, no. I'd say that it's more probable that you never actually had any real Absinthe, seeing as how it isn't an actually defined and protected product in many countries.

Barcardi, 'specially with Pepsi cola.

Genuine Somerset cider from the orchard down the road. (I know the smiley is 'confused', but he looks pissed to me.) (That's British pissed, not American pissed.)

My favorite pint drinks are Exmoore gold ale, and this ale from the Malvern Hotel which tastes like sweetcorn.

Only if you are used to fighting drunk.

Thats something you have to get used to?


Crazy Europeans,

[NERVUN]

Wine (Red, blush, or dessert) tied with sake (Nihonshu).

Being in Japan I've really learned to love the wide range of sake and their tastes. Yummy!

[Hairless Kitten II]

Champagne of course.

[DrunkenDove]

I'm starting to really get into wine. I'm still in the eight to twelve euro range, but I'm starting to find some nice ones.

That said, If I'm feeling like getting arrested , I'm getting some gin.

[NotRust]

Beer and vodka.

[Capitalistliberals]

vodka
shmirnoff wine coolers

[Veblenia]

Liquid.



I'm a big fan of the whisky family -- Islay single malts top the list, but any scottish whisky, followed by bourbon, then Irish. Not Canadian whisky; that's pure piss.

Absinthe does have a liquorice flavour. It's the anise.

[The Blaatschapen]

My favourite kind of alcohol is the one that gets the job done.

[Lottenum]

Irish Wiskey and Vodka.. Also Grolsch (Dutch) Beer

[Central Oregonia]

In no particular order, my preferred forms of alcohol are beer, wine, port, (good) cider, rum, whiskey, 12+ yr scotch, and sometimes vodka.

Absinthe is pretty amazing too. I like it either the traditional way (water and sugar cube) or mixed with lemon-lime soda. The real-deal was recently made legal in the U.S., so that's what I'd recommend (look for the grand wormwood). And, yeah, the layperson would probably say it has a "black licorice" flavor, which probably comes from the anise, but there's also fennel in it which gives it a nice herbal tinge. Really, though, it tastes like absinthe and nothing else... Wikipedia has a good write-up on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe
