It was suggested we start a list of beverages on-line so I coompiled such a list. If I missed you, I am sorry, just add yours to the top and carry on…
On Cold Days, Hot Chocolate and Brandy On Hot Days, Salty Dog ( Grapefruit juice and Gin, touch of salt on the rim) Mornings, Screwdriver (OJ and Vodka) Or........ Bloody Mary (Tomato juice and Vodka) Noon, Chilled Pinot Gris or Viognier ( all Oregon made whites of course ) Dinner, Pinot Noir (slightly cooled) Sadly too often, Reds are served Too warm, Whites Too cold ! Evening, Martini ( Gin only, there's no such thing as a Vodka martini ) Night Cognac ( warmed or ambient ) Ralph Ahseln "Oblio" 1984 C-27 Lying, Portland OR we like Yuengling beer as cold as possible and some ever so slightly chilled nice red wine (Merlot) and occasionally Gin & Tonic. While sailing long days we like Club Soda and Lime cocktail (no alcohol) very refreshing and helps keep your wits about you and helps prevent stupid mistakes. Joe McCary Aeolus II. #4795, West River, MD www.aeoluswestriver.net At the end of the day, if it's hot out, nothing beats a gin & tonic. When it's cold, I enjoy Scotch and water, but have never been too picky. I almost tried Stove Fuel once, but then remembered mine burned propane! ;-) Herb Clark <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Chico Yacht Club s/v Imagine - Catalina 270 s/v Hotel Charlie - Catalina 25' d/s Coyote - Coronado 15' We keep a box of Chablis on board most times. 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. 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. Henry & Lynn Cohen Ceol na Mara (hull #1956) Rock Hall MD …in the last year, we've shifted to San Pelligrino and H2O David 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. Dick Encore Dana Point
