1. Budweiser.
Sorry, I'm a very boring little man.

If you had a really cool new CD to play, I might stick around for a finger or too of a decent Scotch. Or maybe a joint...

39. EXCELLENT Choice!
I also like the Madeira finish. Once, i splurged and got the GM 30 year! Very pricey, but it did last me more than a year. Man, was that smooth scotch.

6. I like store-bought eggnog with rum,
Since I'm out of rum, I've been putting some Amaretto in it. That tastes good too! I like Borden's eggnog.

Also, DeKuyper Butter Shots (butterscotch liqueur) in hot chocolate is delicious!

7. Oh my---I didn't know there was such a thing as
butterscotch liqueur. Sounds delish in hot chocolate!

I'm kind of lost in what the liquor store has to offer--even though I'm 39 years old, so I'm certainly OLD enough to enjoy a drink.

I do put a dash of "Southern Comfort" (which is a whiskey) in the store-bought eggnog. It's yummy.

13. Yeah, I don't get out to the liquor store much either
Usually I wander around for a few minutes, and then an employee will help me find what I need!

The butterscotch liqueur in the hot chocolate is out of this world; you should try it!

12. O'Doul's Amber. But if it were11 years ago,
I'd buy a kick ass bottle of white wine. Some rum. Some Coke. Limes. And a lot of beer.

24. This is not quite how I make mine, but it's close enough
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 12:59 AM by Boswells_Johnson
http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink210.html

Scale ingredients to servings

1 1/2 oz Vodka
Fill with Clamato Juice
3 dashes Tabasco Sauce
3 dashes Worcestershire Sauce

Method
Line the rim of a glass with salt and pepper. Over ice, add vodka, fill with clamato juice, then add the remaining ingredients. Garnish with a celery stick. Add more tabasco sauce if desired.


**I like to put celery salt on the rim of the glass, not salt and pepper.

27. I like mine heavy on the Worcestershire Sauce
I use a lime to rim the glass with, and then put the lime in the drink also. My favourite garnish is a spicy, pickled green bean.

Ceasars are one of the most popular mixed drinks in Canada.

41. Isn't this the same thing as a Bloody Mary?
If it's not, so help me if I know the difference!

Maybe they're just called Bloody Marys in American...

21. Champagne
absolutely Champagne. Korbel is good and well-priced, but I do get Mumms or Krystal from time-to-time. I'm not that much of a Champagne snob, but it has to be Champagne for the holidays.
