And on board Aeolus II after a long day (anchored or at dock) we like Yuengling beer as cold as possible and some nice red wine (Merlot) and occasionally Gin & Tonic. While sailing long days we like Club Soda and Lime (no alcohol) cocktail very refreshing and helps keep your wits about you and helps prevent stupid mistakes.

Jolly Ginger Rogers - the plural of Jolly Ginger Roger. Sorry for any grammatical confusion. Dark & Stormy - I'm pretty sure that consists of a jigger of light rum mixed into about 6oz. of Ginger Beer. They're pretty good / and fairly potent, too - another drink best left for the end of the day.

Also, Ginger brandy and ginger ale (to mix Jolly Ginger Rogers - 1-1/2 oz. brandy, Ginger ale, and ice). Nice switch from Dark & Stormys. But- we don't drink at all until we're tied up at the end of the day or on the hook.

On Persephone, we used to routinely toast with Prosecco (as my sailing partner is Italian) and Stella Artois (as my mother is Belgian) but in the last year, we've shifted to San Pelligrino and H2O since I've decided alcoholic beverages were not wise for me or for my part ners (in excess). For some folks like me, shoving off without the booze is just a much better idea, regardless of Uncle Sam.

Mount Gay for the obligatory toast to Neptune at the beginning of each voyage, tequila for the sunrises during afternoon cocktail hour (and possibly with breakfast as well), Bud (all my beer-drinking sailor friends like it), water, coke (regular and diet). We've also been known to have vodka on cruises for the bloody marys and screwdrivers. Nothing very fancy.... Cheers!
