Default Drinking and Smoking (legal)

Posted on the SVT forums.. 2 good pastimes, what are your favorites brands?


I like Corona's with a lime, or Sam adams Boston lager or Summer ale.. I dont smoke but when I drink I occasionally will puff cigars usually cheapo black and milds or a nice cuban..

Don't smoke.

Beer of choice, either Corona or Hefeweizen (the best)
Hard alcohol, 7&7 or a white russian

Wow....a Carlsberg fan. I have been to the brewery.

I enjoy beer and have tried it all. I do consulting to ther brewery industry sometimes, so I have had a lot of exposure. Funny though, I enjoy Corona but really don't have a favorite beer. I love trying different things. I suppose my top favorites are Fambrois Lambic and good.....and I mean good Cider. I have had beer that was $100+ a case that was fun and I absolutely hate Bud.

My drink specialty are Mojitos. I make them all the time and it has pretty much become a "standard" in the house. I make the best Mojitos and even grow my own mint - lol. I serve them all summer to guests.

I don't smoke but will take a ocassional cigar.

Bud light, Marlboro mediums. Michelobe on the special weekends. heinekin when I go out to eat. Miller High life, or Busch when I'm on a tight budget. hardly ever drink hard liquor.. unless it's a frozen type drink. I'm a seasoned alcoholic so choice depends on the event or the weather. LOL...

Funny....I make them for my kids. But, with one of the main ingredients being rum and triple-sec, it is hard to believe that the non-alcoholic ones taste right.

BTW, if anyone wants to know how to make them, I can provide the recipe. They are awesome and will the hit at any party or dinner...friends and chics will love you.


OK...here goes....now this is a secret, so don't tell anyone (lol):

1 - Take about 10 - 12 leaves of FRESH mint. I grow my own, but any grocery store should have them. ONLY use fresh mint.

2 - Place the mint in a large glass. Them add the juice from 1/2 a lime. Place a few small chips of ice in the glass.

3 - Then, grind up the lime. I use a woden grinder to smash it. The juice and the mint need to mix.

4 - Then add about a half shot of triple-sec. The triple-sec is optional. They actually taste great both ways.

5 - Add good clear rum. The drink should not be overwhelmed with rum. I add about 1 - 2 shots per batch. I make about 4 drinks per batch.

6 - Now, you have the option of either adding Sprite, or club soda. I use Diet Sprite. If you use club soda, you will also need to add sugar. Sprite is easier and people always like them better. I add a whole can.

7 - I then fill a martini shaker will ice and pour the entire mixture into the shaker. Shake, until it is very cold. Pour into about four glass full of ice. I like to add a full mint leaf and a slice of lime as garnish. I generally don't get the entire mixture in the shaker all at once, so I just add more, shake again, and then keep filling the glasses.

The drink is extremely light and very re-freshing. People who have not had them, think they are amazing and they will be left wondering how you made them.

REALLY....I will have to pick that up. It must be a mixer, right? Minus the rum or have rum flavoring.
