Tinto de Verano - Summer Wine. Served in a long glass, half and half red wine and Gasera (sort of lemonade), lots of ice and a slice of lemon. Comes with a straw.

I love my coffee and invested in a Nespresso machine.You know,like George Clooney advertises.
He didn't influence me - honest!
I have coffees from all over the world now.
I have one every day.
I also like a drop of brandy(Courvoisier is my favourite) every now and then.
I'm not much of an alcohol drinker.I used to love red wine,but it doesn't love me (too acidic),so that's off the menu.
I do put a bit in cooking sometimes and I'm OK with that.

I drink all kinds of alcoholic drinks [hic!!] But favourites are whisky (Bells) with dry ginger, and white wine - has to be dry wine. Also recently discovered Amaretto Liquer, which is good when you just want a Little Something. Surprisingly, the cheapest (EDIT: AND the best one) is Aldi's own version, hooray! Used to drink a lot of Gin & Tonics, but nowadays they can give me indigestion.  Can't beat a nice ice cool glassful of Robinson's Lemon Barley on a hot day.  |

I enjoy gin and tonic but it's got to be sunny! Otherwise my main tipple is red wine. I too like brandy, especially in coffee with cream before bed

Now my local Co-op has closed, I'm really missing their Colombian Free Trade coffee. It was gorgeous!

My tipple of choice is red wine. Anything from Australia usually does me fine (sorry!) I also imbibe in a crisp cold lager (Becks) on a hot day (haven't had much of that lately) or a fruity Rosé (haven't had much of that lately either!)  At work I drink Robinson's orange squash (no sugar added) and before I go to work I have two cups of Kenco de-caffeinated coffee (with candarel) |

Usually red wine. (Not up to the 13 bottles a day to gain the real health benefits yet  ) Vodka with (low cal) ginger beer, and if I'm flush, Jura single malt with still Buxton water. |

I only really like beer, preferably chilled, bottled lagers, the premium kind. I am also partial to Bailey's,at Christmas-time, any time someone cares to buy me some. Not too fussed about wine, prefer rose or white.
Otherwise it's coffee in the day, plain old Nescafé suits me fine.

If I really need spoiling, I'll have Kir Royale .... Champagne with Crème de Cassis. Don't usually run to Champagne, but a decent Cava is as good.

I like a Baileys too. It's nice to be able to admit it without facing social disgrace - it was seen as very naff a few years back. Also like the Tesco Salted Caramel version. My other Christmas tipple is King's ginger mmmmmmm.

I mainly go for wine too, red or white!
On the spirits front I quite like a Southern Comfort with coke or a vodka and tonic with ice and loads of lemon, but only really go for that type of drink in a pub rather than at home. A nice lunchtime drink is that strawberry and lime cider by that foreign firm whose name I forget but that is horrendously pricey in a pub.
For coffee I either get Percol Guatemalan or their Nicaraguan.

For an aperitif I like a Bloody Mary, with all the extras (and crisps). It has to be very spicy.
I used to like a speciality coffee, with Tia Maria, but you never seem to see them nowadays.

Anymore to come?
