Well apparently the Washington DC area has more spies than any other city in the world but I don't notice many CBNers with DC connections.

I also love a Mimosa, Jack Daniels & Coke, Vodka & OJ... I'm sure there's many more. I'll think about what else......

Anyone ever had an extreme Mimosa? They are great!

Champagne, OJ, and Chambord liquer, YUM!

Oh Malibu is just wrong. Alcoholic Coconut? Whose clever idea was that? It is the foulist concoction known to man, even more so than a Pina Colada. The very idea behind it is just perverse and I don't believe for a second they drink it in the Caribbean.

I would have to say that my signature drink is "Jack Daniels. And hold the glass."

SKYY VODKA is a wondeful thing, bond should switch to it, and stop drinking the cheap stuff

I still can't decide if I like Pepsi or Coca-Cola better? They're both very similar.....

Anyone else that has had both have a favorite? (No alcoholic drinks for me yet. :) :))

As far as I'm concerned they both taste like fizzy malted battery acid, though I used to have a bad Dr Pepper habit that took a couple of years to kick.

As for me I'm a Pepsi Girl (Regular, Cherry, & Vanilla). I find Coke to be too sweet.
(as a mater of fact I'm drinking a Vanilla papsi right now)

Pepsi for me. I think that Pepsi is smoother than Coke, if that makes any sense, I think Coke has too much carbination, or something, that I just don't like about it.

Actually it's probably all in my head, they probably all tast the same.

If Roebuck thinks that regular pepsi tastes like fizzy battery acid, he won't want to try that Berry Blue Pepsi. Have you ever tried it Athena? Blechhh I think its almost as bad as that Code Red Mountain Dew. I wish Pepsi would bring back that Crystal Clear Cola they used to have back in 93 or so. I used to love that! Certainly better than Tab's clear cola.

Just a plain Pepsi for me. Coke tends to upset my stomach, and I hate diet sodas. And I also hate ice in my drinks - too watery and ice doesn't do too much to cool it down, really. You can get a drink that is just as cold, with twice as much liquid when you ditch the ice...:)

I don't think that I've ever tried a Dr. Pepper Red Fusion. I don't really drink all that much soda anymore, as I'm trying to be good and drink more water. I might give one a try next time I see one.

Blech diet sodas.

Oh I know... NO ICE! Whenever I go to fast food places I also order something like this: "and a Medium Pepsi with no ice please" ...and then they're like "No ice?" And I'm thinking to myself "HELL YA, NO ICE... are you insane, I'm not going to pay $3 for 3/4th a cup of ice and a dribble of soda!" :)

lol - EXACTLY! Plus, if I'm in a place like New Jersey or Maryland that has rather sub-par water (compared with where I live in Long Island - GREAT water there), the ice therefore tastes bad, which in turn ruins my drink.

Damn I'm picky...lol

Quite partial to a well made Magarita (from a mexican resturant or bar)
Guiness certianlly goes down terribly well, as does any type of Red wine from the Penfold's stable particular the Grange. But for anyone not in Oz you probably won't know what I'm talking about.

Bollanger, Krug for champagne.

Outside of Coca-Cola, I really like good mineral water or seltzer. None of the flavored stuff, just tall, cool and carbonated.

Yes, good vodka is a must. Poor James doesn't have any say in his martini's quality of Vodka anymore.

Smirnoff red?....Not even the 100 proof blue label? Tsk, tsk.....

Finlandia - Certainly a different flavor than most and quite distinctive, but not that good in a martini...Maybe with some tonic.....

Again, I stand by my choices listed in this thread. Skyy is certainly passable though.

Diet Caffiene Free Pepsi is the first choice, followed by Diet Pepsi, Diet Vanilla Pepsi, then the coke line. Got into the "diet" soda way back and now the regular sodas are just too sweet.

Problem is that the syrup used to make cola in fast food outlets and cinemas has a slightly thicker consistency than it normally would be to compensate for the drink becoming more dilute as the ice melts. (Yes Q, we know all this. Get to the point. :) )
A guy in the soft drinks business advised me that, even if you don't care for ice, if you ask for about an inch in the bottom of the cup it will melt quickly and you'll end up with something more like 'The Real Thing'.

In an attempt to lessen the caffeine in my life, you will most often see me drinking water or seltzer with a twist of lime. After that various juices will pass through my lips, or the occasional glass of unsweetened iced tea.

Oh I just remembered... if it's really hot out and I need some alcohol (I'll have this if I'm on the beach or on a cruse), it's really good...

Miami Vice
5oz Bacardi 151 proof rum
Frozen Pina colada mix
Frozen Daiquiri mix

First: Mix pina colada with 2.5 oz. of rum w/ ice (set aside).
Second: Mix daiquiri with 2.5 oz. of rum w/ ice.
Third: While frozen, add pina colda mix then daiquiri mix in glass (Making sure they do not get mixed together).
