Water, it's so good I'd die without it.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That's just what Big Doctor wants you to think

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Drinking my 4th liter of water today lol (yesterday I probably exceeded 6liters, if I include milk consumption)

A pilsner instead of the IPA I normally have, but I like to switch it up once in a while. After a long day of being in charge of keeping alive four kids (plus three visitors from the neighborhood), two cats, and a dog the size of a small horse, the flavor isn't as important as the fact that I now get to have a beer with my feet up on the table.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

Water.

Very.

[–] sga@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Water (cooled to preference)

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm drinking a hard cider right now for example, and its thoroughly delicious, one of my favorites. I might have some rosé bubbly wine later too if hubs doesn't want it, but I gotta wait for him to get home first.

[–] all-knight-party@kbin.run 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Was looking through people's comments and was going to comment hard cider as well, and yours was the final comment! What sort are you drinking?

Today I had Blake's Triple Jam, it is pretty good. Cider's the only alcoholic drink I've ever had where almost regardless of the particular cider I don't need to "get used" to the taste. Most of the time I dislike regular beer and hard liquor is to be tolerated, mixed drinks don't count, that's cheating (but delicious)

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I'm doing schilling excelsior tonight, it's pretty delicious. Plus, there's a giraffe in a helmet on it, which is adorable. They're 8.4% though so I gotta be careful with them

[–] Renorc@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Manly spirits Australian dry gin, fever tree premium light tonic, sliced fresh cucumber. Perfect summertime refresher.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I fuckin love a gin and tonic, sounds and looks delicious!

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Only thing that beats a G&T is a Pimm's and lemonade 🤤

[–] FrostyTrichs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yerba mate 10/10 will do again shortly

[–] frosch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

Summer Shandy. It's a good summer drink.

I just finished a srawberry & brownie milkshake. It was God DAMN!

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'll be off to buy a few drinks in a moment, for the family:

  • me - a "double malt" Pilsner. Plenty people dislike it because it's rather bitter, but I love it for that very reason.
  • sister - a local Pilsner that has barely any hint of bitterness, she'd rather drink lighter beers.
  • BIL, mum - a sweet stout. It's locally sold as "Malzbier" but it has higher alcoholic content than Eastern European Malzbiere.
  • nephew - coin toss between apple juice or soda.

That'll side some entrevero that I should be getting ready to prepare right now, instead of loafing around in Lemmy.

[–] frosch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Brazil. The Malzbiere in question are around 4% ABV, by no means "strong" but not children drink either. (For reference the local Pilsner are roughly the same in alcohol content.) But they're fairly popular among people who like sweeter beers, specially now in winter.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Homemade milk tea. I have matcha toasted rice, golden chai, and rooibos tea bags to choose from. I soak some chia seeds in a half and half mix of almond and coconut milk so they can absorb it and get bigger. This is what I use in place of boba and regular milk. Then I steep a teabag in a cup of hot water, stir in stevia, pour it into the milk onto a large glass jar, then dump a bunch of ice in it. Viola, lactose-free, sugar-free, high fiber milk tea.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Dr Pepper. I can never quite describe the way it tastes but I always drink it in little sips because the flavor is very savoury to me

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Pink lemonade. I'm not the biggest fan, but it's doing a good job cooling me down.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You should visit us at !cocktails@lemmy.world !

I'm having water (do a Dry July every year) and earlier had cafe con leche.

[–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Water, and its not. But im constipated

Nectarine iced green tea. Last time I made this my pug chugged half a glass while I stepped away for a moment.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Crystal Lite wild strawberry with caffeine.

A lot tastier than it really should be and keeps me alert better than coffee

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Lucozade pink lemonade. I might have a problem, and that problem is I don't have enough of it :-P

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

A pilsner. Locally popular brand called Mortiz. Why? It's what's on tap. It's decent, one of the better industrial pilsners. The night is young and I expect to be drinking more beer tonight.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Tea-flavoured soda I was given at a local food show. 0% sugar, 0% artificial additives. It's about 0% delicious.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

ground cacao beans brewed like tea or coffee.

I have a drink I've nicknamed the one-and-done.

  • 2oz bourbon (I currently use Elijah Craig small batch)
  • 1oz citrus vodka (using Smirnoff)
  • syrup to taste (I've tried a bunch of different combos; currently using about .75 oz triple sec syrup and 1.5 oz homemade honey/peach)
  • top with soda or tonic (or don't, I'm currently out)
  • garnish with lemon
  • sip slowly

It lives up to the name.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You had me with bourbon, I need to try that.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Maritime Night Watch at my favorite wing shop. It's pretty great

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Cracking into the Chivis regal. Been one hell of a week for me and I didn't even have to deal with CrowdStrike last week.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

Coffee, ground with vanilla bean, brewed over fresh gound cinnamon. Very.

[–] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Not currently drink ing but got transferred to Texas. And they have this drink called the bong hitter where they light the drink on fire and then blow it out and you inhale the smoke take the shot and exhale a cloud of smoke.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Just shared one of these with my girlfriend before walking her to the bus stop:

Fuckin lovely.

[–] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Iced espresso. Double shot in a glass of ice, top up with cold water to taste. A little sugar. My own roast. I think it's excellent.

[–] card797@champserver.net 2 points 3 months ago

Strawberry lemonade. Very tasty.

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

Mandatory black coffee (iced) then filtered water (chilled) all day.

Both are the best tasty liquid in the world.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Vodka Martini with Dolin dry Vermouth and garlic-stuffed olives.

Edit: also, first time trying a new roasted barley tea. 99 Ranch was out of the regular stuff. Decent price and zero caffeine. Great for daily, afternoon sipping without getting the jitters.

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I just plopped open a classic flp-top bottle of Flensburger Pilsner.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Raspberry Limoncello Polar Seltzer. It's even better as a mixer with gin, rum, or white wine, but it's only 4:30pm here and I still have shit to do before I start in on the hard stuff.
