Stolichnaya Ohranj and ice. It's a bit eye-watering straight up, tbh. I might stick some OJ in it.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'll be outcast as a heretic and fool but I always feel stolly benefits from a tiny pinch of sugar *flees*

 

[Voley]

Really? It's a bit fucking on it's own I've gotta be honest.

 

[DotCommunist]

S'thing I got from absinthe drinking, chuck a pinch, a small one, in the double. Works for me and works as well with stolly or other vodkas. I've been called a wrongun for doing it though.

 

[Voley]

I'm gonna give it a go.

You managed to fit that all in a.... hang on....

 

[DotCommunist]

[Voley]

Ah. Takes the edge off it a bit, you're right.

Actually, that's a lot better, thanks Dotty. I might just be placeboing my tits off but I don't need a sharp intake of breath after each sip now.

Strongbow.
It would have been some other cider but that was the classiest thing they had in the offy.
And technically its in a can too.

 

[Voley]

That's classy as far as I'm concerned.

Nicked from the incredibly druggy rituals used in the consumption of absinthe. Really does take the edge off of the voddy as well IMHO

Absinthe is a drink that can be enjoyed in a surprising number of ways. Most absintheurs drink absinthe the traditional way: louched with water poured over a cube of white sugar. Some drink absinthe that was poured over sugar that is subsequently set alight (though absinthe purists decry this practice), and a few even like drinking absinthe neat (brave souls!)

I'm thirsty for the green stuff that leaves large embarrassing gaps in ones memory now.

Me and my brother were wandering round the Greenfields at Glastonbury one year. Early afternoon, hot, both a little pissed but still mainly hungover/coming down from the night before. Both a bit listless. An Absinthe Fairy appeared offering shots at a quid a pop. Hey presto! Wide awake, good to go again, immediately wanted to score some decent stimulants. Tequila hits me the same way. It's good shit.

Juiced carrot, apple and pear.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Home-made ginger & Jamaican sorrel.

 

[Citizen66]

Indian spiced tea.

 

[Y_I_Otter]

Lemon grass tea. As nightcaps go, it can't hold a candle to cognac.

 

[gentlegreen]

I tend to go for Herb and Heather "Night Time" - but I'm always too tired to make it. (helps me sleep through)

juiced apples and blueberries

I will look out for this. I'm in bed with a mug of chamomile tea which I have been drinking only since Tuesday due to needing help to sleep and a ongoing headache.

 

[sojourner]

A nice cold kronenbourg

 

[Badgers]

Sixth cider of the day in the Hanover Arms (two at home before) so a solid Saturday.

 

[Y_I_Otter]

Inka "cereal beverage'. It's not disgusting, but it's not coffee.
