Haven't had rum much, if ever. Used to like Vodka Gimlet.

"Fizzies" (kind of like flavored Alka-Seltzer), Pillsbury fruit drinks (Choo Choo Cherry, Lefty Lemon-Lime, Rootin' Tootin' Rasberry, Jolly Olly Orange), Kool-Aid (from the Bugs Bunny packets), Jungle Juice (a type of fruit punch sold in pint cartons), Hawaiian Punch, Tang (grape and orange), Shasta and A&W root beer. And on very special occasions, I could get 100% juice. These days, just about any 100% fruit juice will do.

Fresh-sqeezed lemon that is. It's greatest asset: no calories!

At other times of the day: sparkling water with just enough fruit juice or wine to give it a bit of flavor

Ya put an oven mitt on top of the fridge so yer hand don't get cold.....

THEN ya just reach into the freezer with the mitt and grab that bottle and drink it straight.

Fuck the middleman. Dial direct.

That's about the only time I drink boxed wine, but when you mix it 50/50 with ginger ale in a pitcher and put it in the garage fridge, it's a quick top-off while you're working in the garden.

And don't be fooled by those who think Vodka & Tonic is the same.

It's the fragrant flavor of a good Gin that makes all the difference combined with the quinine tonic.

For those who don't know, it's cranberry juice with vodka. So refreshing, plus I'm from New England. I like mine way more pink than red.

A nice, cold Monster. Yeah yeah, they're awful for you, I've heard it all before. I enjoy clambering into my sweltering, black, Southern California car and driving down to 711 and buying one of those bad boys.
