Well I have given up Soda.
Now what the heck do ? mix with my rum?
The experiment with tea didn't go well.

Juice?

Carbonated water?

oh, I know... Give up Rum!

OJ?
Or drink it straight from the bottle like a pirate (everyone does this at least once in there life, I think). YO-HO-HO!!

Juice, milk (43 with milk is good), tomato juice, San Pellegrino...

Give up rum? Parish the thought. Juice would work, maybe apple juice?

Try Gatorade, it goes pretty well, just avoid the Red kind cause it ends up tasting like Cough Syrup, stick with Blue...

OJ?

Works with Jack Daniels too. You look all rock star doing it but the next day when you can't move because of the headache you remember why moderation was invented.

Yeah but pirates are cool. Yargh!!!!

Or move to more adult drinks. I always used to scoff when people said things like, "Real men drink whiskey."
I'm starting to realize that they were right.

Just be sure that you pick the right brand.
Drinking straight from a bottle of Brugal can make you look bad ass and slightly classy (for a guy drinking out of a bottle)
Drinking straight from a bottle of Malibu ... not so much.

More rum?

Cola + lemon juice...

Oh wait, that's Cuba Libre ;)


You could also try coffee, if it's not white rum.

I gave up soda which means no cola.


rum and coffee sounds good in the morning, but sounds like it will get in the way of me passing out at night. And the Cuban who spoke to my class about being a political prisoner already recommended it.

:P if your going to give up a drink to become healthy give up alcohal first.

Make your own ginger beer

would it mix well with rum though?

Mmmmm... cubatas. So good!

My favourite drink...too bad it's just "rum + cola" too often :(

edit:
What about lemons + rum?

OJ?

I have done it a number of times, so far with no regrets. Captain Morgan makes some delicious shit.

Solution: Do it the next day having not slept the night before. Fun times.

Arrrrr

My favourite drink...too bad it's just "rum + cola" too often :(

But if you can, always add that dash of lemon. I like it so much, although I don't drink often.

Ginger beer and rum go really well together

But if you can, always add that dash of lemon.
Hmm, that's actually a good piece of advice.

Most of the time in a bar I just quaff what ever is given to me and complain about "how it wasn't made properly", next time I'll go and demand my lemon[lime] wedge/sprinkling of lemon juice :D

I like it so much, although I don't drink often.
Sadly, I rarely drink quality drinks....just beer :tongue:

If you're paying for the drink, demand the lemon or else, mate.:D

I have confined myself to just drink wine. Nanatsu, drunk, is a danger.

Will do, I promise! :)

Do you prefer red or white?

Good.

Red all the way.

:eek:

Yup, I am.

Aye, gotta have color, wine that is.

I do recommend Alvarinhos, from Portugal. That's the only white wine I like.

Might have a go with that...Depending on whether its available here at decent cost with state monopoly an' all that.

Personally, I've tasted exactly one good white wine ever...Too bad I missed the name of the drink, most of them are way too acidic to my taste. Coincidentally...same, infact, applies to champagnes (read: sparkling wines) as well.

I'm sure you can find it in the States, if that's where you reside.

I hate champagne.

No, no...Heaven's forbid! :)

I'm an European, a Finlander.

Same here, but there was this one champagne...

It's rather sad that if some alcoholic beverage tastes good I'm more prone to forget its name :D

No, no...Heaven's forbid! :)

Oh gods, my apologies.:fluffle:
I don't know why I thought you were an American.

Maybe Cliquot Widow? That's good champagne.

Might as well be speaking latin as far as champagne names go. :)

Lol! Got it. What do you think about cider?

Like the dry proper ones.

And some of those "Really, we should call this lemonade with vodka" ones, especially Kopparberg's (http://www.kopparbergs.se/) flavours.

Say, that looks interesting enough. I am a fan of cider.

Back during Fresher's week some of the societies were giving out free Kopparberg. Non-alcoholic, unfortunately. I added generous amounts of vodka and found it tasted quite pleasant.

You should have a go if you can find a can.

I personally like the Kopparberg's strawberry cider...as long as it's not light version (ie. sugar replaced with artificial sweeteners).

Another brand of lemonade (really, it tastes like it!) I like is this (http://www.clubpirates.fi/kanuuna/logot/rekorderlig_225_50cl_jgb_burk_S.png): Rekorderlig's strawberry-lemon cider.

Though, the uncrowned king is Kopparberg's original dry apple cider which - unfortunately - isn't available anymore (at least I'ven't seen it around).

Well, basically the actual product is pretty much fruit juice with vodka. :D

And it does taste good.

Those do look good. I wonder if when I get back to Spain I may find them. Thanks for the suggestions. And if you can, do try some Asturian cider. I'm sure you'll like it.

no sodas needed.

Righto! Fruity drinks + rum = win.

You can also put rum in ice cream.

Or move to more adult drinks. I always used to scoff when people said things like, "Real men drink whiskey."

Awesome! I laughed. When I was growing up B-52 (the drink not the plane) were all the rage but not so much anymore. Seriously it has to be the stupidest idea after 5 or so your like, forget the layers just give me the bottle.

With regard to whiskey I like many and they are all slightly different: Jameson, Johnny Walker any color pretty much, CC if you are up North. Jack has almost too much charcoal taste. At the end of the night you feel like you have been drinking tar or something.

Yea skip the mix and just ice that shiiiieeettt.

I found a frozen ziploc baggy of what I think is a tropical punch. thawing it out now. Should be good. Wow the people who lived here before me left so much good stuff. the question is how come i haven't noticed it until now.

Well the Fruit punch mixed will with the Rum. Problem is I am almost out of the fruit punch and I am too cheap to buy more.

Works with Jack Daniels too. You look all rock star doing it but the next day when you can't move because of the headache you remember why moderation was invented.

I tried Jamaican Rum a few times and puked the next day every fucking time.....(mind you, the pain and nausea lifted, but that just confirms further it was the fucking rum).

And if you can, do try some Asturian cider. I'm sure you'll like it.

Oh dear God, not that stuff.

On your own head be it. Me and a couple of friends went to Asturias a couple of years ago, and being from the South West, which is the cider producing area of England, we decided to try out Asturian cider and compare it to Somerset cider. We all hated it.

I don't know, Lipton Iced Tea mix seems to be a great combo w/vodka. Also try Lemonade mix for another potential success.

Dont have Vodka I have rot gut rum.

Hmm...that is a challenge. I'm by no means unfamiliar with that grade of...rum...but I'm hard pressed to find something really good. If you're willing to cheat, I would say Sprite or 7-up but otherwise the situation is dire.

Well I have given up Soda.

Why mix rum anyway? Drink it pure. Havana Club, 7 years.

Apple juice if you like it sweet, lemon juice if you like it sour.

This.

Indeed.

But since it's rot gut, mixers...
cranberry juice + a dash of pinapple gives you a bay breeze
mint, sugar, lime juice and carbonated water gives you a mojito
passion fruit juice gives you a hurricane
But for cheapness, water with some lemon or lime gives you grog, a good manly drink
