A peculiar soft grog alcohol free drink I like, is the Chinotto [pron. Kee-not-toh]
It’s a fruit relative to the orange, but it’s more bitter.
I’ll have myself one of these virgin mojito-like sanpellegrinos right now. It’s still hot enough for it!
I know it very well
I mean, the background
yeah, I figured I had to do that to prove I really was holding it right now
Do you believe we are in a trial?
Oh… wait…
In short. It´s a pint of dark beer, half a liter bottle of coke and 4 cl of cherry liquer put together in a big mug. Didn´t have that one in a long time.
Looks good!
Ok, I’m gonna rewrite here something about this delicious bavarian beer I drank some weeks ago. I guess it’s the Hacker-Pschorr Weissbier. I drank it like it was water…
I entered the pub and asked the bartender a beer not too much bitter. And she served me this delicious and refreshing beer. Not a quarter of hour and I was asking for the second round.
Hold it right there, you´re not in a german fraternity. I mean I´m sure you can do without the fencing scars.
Are you talking about the university fraternities of the early twentieth century?
Yes, and they go back to the early 19th century (Napoleonic times).
I’ve watched a nice documentary on Germany (from Fribourg to Hannover on trains, following a tourist guide of the 1913). It’s part of a series called Great Continental Railway Journeys. And they talked about those fraternities too.
I linked to this blog post on twitter a while ago, covers many grounds:
So, what’s your favourite…
…thirst quencher (the drink you turn to when thirsty)?
…cocktail (or mocktail if you don’t drink alcohol)?
…summer drink?
…winter drink?
Mine:
- Very weak orange squash (cordial)
- Pina colada or margarita
- Elderflower gin and tonic (has to be Fever Tree!) or a cold beer like Hoegaarden or Brahma if I’m in a lager mood
- Mulled cider
- a coke (but when I’m really thirsty: water)
- mojita
- home made lemonade
- hot coke. I mean chocolate.
Hi, I’m Sushi and I’m a non-alcoholic…
I’m a big fan!
That, and the prosecco extra dry.
Is that a virgin mojito? I’m guessing, as never heard of it with an ‘a’.
1 Has to be Pepsi.
2 I like carribean rum punch.
3 Might be the one I mentioned above if it turns out it´s as good as I remember it.
4 My favourite liquor in winter is any sort creme chocolaty stuff.
My favourite liquor in general, winter or summer might well be Amarula. It´s just super tasty.
The linguist in me says it´s a female.
I just looked that up and it looks quite nice. Is it quite sugary and honey-like?
It has hint of caramel. Like toffee. I once tried a cheap offshot but that was too sweet. The original is just right. Not too chocolaty (at first I thought it was a bit like Bailey´s but a direct comparison showed that´s not really true at all).
Yes, the girly type of mojito.
