--
usual old standby? Hard Cider... perhaps with some rasberry Labmic in it. ( int he winter Hard Core Crisp. In the summer I like a pear or granny smith)
--
special occasion treat? "Lady Day"... Absolut and Bailey's on the rocks
--
something new you've tried? - Flint's family recipe for Eggnog... which includes adding 7-up to lighten it up... a concept I use myself for other drink... just not generally creamy one... but ok..
--
beverage to share at a party? - Caipirinha although I put a slightly different spin... I like to add some sprite or 7-up to lighten it up a bit... see website below for recipe
