Since there's already a "What's the last thing you ate or are currently eating?" thread, and I often post what I'm drinking in it, I figured I may as well start this thread. I'm craving iced tea. And lemonade too. But all I have is liquor , pop, and water. I'd like to know what the rest of you drink, too. For me it's just plan water until I'm sick of it and need a change.

I'm drinking Bourbon and Vernors zero sugar ginger ale. I already like bourbon and ginger ale, and I like Moscow Mules too. So when I saw this recipe for a KENTUCKY Mule, my interest was piqued. I need to buy some limes anyway so I can make Cuba Libres. And ginger beer instead of ginger ale. Maybe Q Mixers will be on sale. Their ginger beer is so strong it's almost impossible to drink straight, but it's a GREAT mixer.

More bourbon, with Orange Cream Coca-Cola zero sugar. It's even better than drinking Orange Cream Coke straight, which is good. I had a regular Coke zero sugar and bourbon too. I'm mixing whiskey with every soft drink I have, but not water because that's too plain. I can fit 4 or 5 12-packs of pop side by side on one one shelf of my fridge, depending on whether I jam them together or leave room for air to circulate. I have 4 on the bottom shelf now.

I think I tried a Cherry Pepsi once, but I'm not sure. I'm not a Pepsi drinker but have been thinking about trying Pilk, half Pepsi-half milk. I read online that it was really good. Apparently they made Pilk on an episode of Laverne & Shirley. Laverne tasted some they mixed up for a party and said it needs more Pepsi. Who knows? Maybe I'll like it and start drinking dirty sodas.

I've been drinking a lot of water and sweet tea. I found another bottle of margarita mixer and added some to one glass of tea. It seemed like it was even sweeter and not tangy like I expected. I'm out of tequila, and when I finish my last few swallows of water, I'm going to mix some margarita mixer with vodka and see how it is. If I like it I'll probably finish the mixer tonight.

Distilled water.  Yep...that's right.  Our youngest son bought us a tabletop water distiller.  I scoffed at first...not anymore.  No more chlorine or other harsh chemicals.  I thought filtering was the cat's meow...but I was wrong.

I'm drinking bottled water. Distilled water is better for you, but if it has some minerals added to it, it supposedly tastes much better.

Having a sip of ice cold sweet tea right now.
Wednesday is usually my sweet tea day because I make 5 to 7 gallons for Wednesday evening supper at church....and of course I have to continuously sample for quality and such...especially if grilling too.  ;D

I don't normally make it at home unless we have company for a meal. Sunday the sons were over frying fish so I made a batch so today I finished off what was left of the tea.

I finished the last of my gallon of Milo's sweet tea last night, and made a gallon of instant 4C Zero Sugar Green Iced Tea with Honey. This is left from a 3-pack my friend Scott sent me a year or so ago. I keep forgetting about it or it would have been long gone. A package just showed up one day when he bought it for me because he liked it. I had some while my coffee was brewing. Then I put a whole tub of Mexican Hot Chocolate flavor cotton candy in my pot of coffee and have been drinking it all day. I'm down to my last half a cup. Then I'll switch back to tea. I finished my margarita mix with vodka a couple days ago. Not great, but better than mixing it with rum, I think. I should have mixed t with whiskey, like a whiskey sour. I have a bottle of simple syrup I could have used if it was too sour. I always think of things days too late. :(

I cracked open a "half-gallon" of Bacardi Gold and mixed it with Orange Cream Coke Zero. It has a good molasses taste to it. And maybe it shouldn't.

Within the Caribbean, each island or production area has a unique style. For the most part, these styles can be grouped by the language traditionally spoken. Due to the overwhelming influence of Puerto Rican rum, most rum consumed in the United States is produced in the "Spanish-speaking" style.

    English-speaking areas are known for darker rums with a fuller taste that retains a greater amount of the underlying molasses flavor. Rums from the Bahamas, Antigua, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Belize, Bermuda, Saint Kitts, the Demerara region of Guyana, and Jamaica are typical of this style. A version called "Rude Rum" or "John Crow Batty" is served in some places and it is reportedly much stronger in alcohol content being listed as one of the 10 strongest drinks in the world, while it might also contain other intoxicants. The term, denoting homemade, strong rum, appears in New Zealand since at least the early 19th century. Jamaican rum was granted geographical indication protection in 2016.

    French-speaking areas are best known for their agricultural rums (rhum agricole). These rums, being produced exclusively from sugar cane juice, retain a greater amount of the original flavor of the sugar cane and are generally more expensive than molasses-based rums. Rums from Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Mauritius are typical of this style.

    Areas that had been formerly part of the Spanish Empire traditionally produce añejo rums with a fairly smooth taste. Rums from Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela are typical of this style. Rum from the U.S. Virgin Islands is also of this style. The Canary Islands produces a honey-based rum known as ron miel de Canarias which carries a protected geographical designation.


Bacardi is Cuban rum. The iconic BACARDÍ bat logo came about when Doña Amalia, the wife of our founder Don Facundo, spotted a colony of fruit bats in the rafters of the first BACARDÍ distillery in Santiago de Cuba. Symbolizing good health, family unity and good fortune, she knew the bat was the right choice to symbolize BACARDÍ.

The bat has remained synonymous with our rum ever since. Gracing every bottle and guiding the Bacardí family’s long-term involvement with bat research, education and conservation.

Our love for the bat and nature continues to this day. At Casa BACARDÍ in Puerto Rico, we’ve been working hard to ensure that local wildlife has somewhere to live and thrive. So, we put together a wildlife team of 11 volunteer employees who have helped us create and manage a series of pollinator gardens around the distillery.

Spanning 38,535 square feet, the pollinator gardens are part of a Wildlife at Work program that has been certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC), since 2013. It serves as a year-round food source to monarch butterflies, honey bees, native bees, and seven species of bats: the Antillean fruit bat, minor red bat, red fruit bat, and Mexican free-tailed bat! In turn, the butterflies, bees and bats play their own role in helping our native trees, flowers and plants grow. Everything coexists in harmony. You could say, just like a BACARDÍ rum cocktail. Where each ingredient is as important as the other in creating the perfect balance.


And that's not all. Lubee Bat Conservancy is a nonprofit organization in Gainesville, Florida. The organization was founded in 1989 by Luis F. Bacardi as a center for the research, conservation, and breeding of endangered animals; it later narrowed its focus solely to bats, particularly megabats.

Lubee Bat Conservancy is an Association of Zoos and Aquariums-certified institution.

Lubee Bat Conservancy has its roots in an organization founded in 1989, the Lubee Foundation, Inc. The Lubee Foundation was created by Luis F. Bacardi of the Bacardi spirits company.[3] The name "Lubee" was derived from the name of "Luis Bacardi".

I drank a lot of Bacardi in my early 20's before switching to bourbon.
