So many interesting drinks I've never heard of! I'm currently drinking a delicious, ice cold...sparkling water. Doctor's orders that I can't drink yet until some of my labs are finished. I will eventually post my whole life saga on the TTCAL thread once everything is resolved. Ugh, I hate waiting! What I wish I was drinking: an enormous box of wine. Bota box is my favorite brand of boxed wine. Omg, I need to have this in my house!
I'm eating ice cream and feeling guilty about it. I'm coming down with a cold and avoiding the beer til I'm feeling better, but that is what I would be drinking...one of the few Bell's Two Hearted bottles that I smuggled back from Indiana last time I visited.
@Augusta108 Sorry about your migraine! Hope you feel better soon. Do you get migraines frequently? My mom has suffered from them her whole life! Thankfully I didn't inherit them. @SmashJam What kind of beer is that? Hopefully your cold goes away quickly! @SkilledSailor I'm planning to pick up some Ute juice soon. I read that it tastes good mixed with sparkling water. Have you tried that or do you drink it plain?
Water now but had a small whiskey and coke with dinner. Me thinks ima sleep well tonight

@offtoneverland, I get migraines a couple of times a month. This one is definitely triggered by the weather. It’s been super gray and rainy all day here!
Good ‘ole box wine here! After the day I had its needed. I gave in to the box recently because I can’t seem to finish a bottle before it goes bad anymore. This box has been going strong for a whole week though. And wine on tap is pretty awesome too!

@blackhottamales Is it a homemade Moscow mule? Please tell me you own one of those cool copper glasses to drink it properly! @meggyme Boxed wine is the way to go for sure. It's surprisingly delicious and it lasts a long time unlike a bottle!
@augusta108 Ugh sorry about the migraine. I hope the tea is working for you.
@AlohaKumu Working late? Will you be having a drink later or sticking to water?
I could never get behind the Moscow mules. I think it’s the ginger because they look so cool, I want to like them. Mad props @blackhottamales for making your own! I’m too lazy to make my own cocktails.
@SkilledSailor Luckily I don’t have to work late tonight and I’m already on the bus home But I do think a glass of Asti sounds delightful for this evening.

@blackhottamales Yes! We should totally meet for moscow mules. @offtoneverland MH and I have the copper mugs! I got them for him a couple years ago because he likes moscow mules.
I am currently about to drink my prescription cough syrup, chased by water, of course. I am also sipping a blue Gatorade my wonderful H picked up for me. Edit: verbage
@Mmyles87 and @nmbrcrnchr1 its easily my fave beer. No Bell's distribution here Beyond the Wall (Vermont) so I get it when I visit DC or the Midwest, lol.
@offtoneverland someone already answered this for me, its an IPA. Not super hoppy perfectly drinkable. A little heavy. Yum.
There was limited participation on my part last night because...I fell asleep cuddling a hippo pillow on the couch at like, 7:15.
+1 to bota box being amazing. We take one up to MIL house when we go for dinner most times. And @nmbrcrnchr1 I cannot think of pinot grigio without thinking of Ramona from RHoNY, haha.
@SmashJam Are you in VT? What about Headdy Topper or Fiddlehead?

I am in Vermont and I DO love Heady Topper AND Fiddlehead...just don't have any in the fridge right now! I was at the co-op yesterday to snag some but they didn't have any left over I guess from the previous Friday. The local Vermont beer in my fridge is Burlington Beer Company right now...I can't think of the name though and I'm too lazy to check!

@blackhottamales ooh I’m so jealous! We finally got the mouse out of our house. I’m trying to talk H into going out for drinks because we deserve it. Now I’m thinking margaritas...
@darkstar42 oh! Do you have any recommendations? My DH has been trying a few, but he hasn't found any that really rock his socks off. I'm too busy trying every single cider they have at this point as I prefer them over an ale, but maybe I need to branch out...
So what is this Moscow mule thing y'all are speaking of.. and why the copper cup?
@josie12367 Whereabouts in the UK are you? My recommendations are more for specific pubs specializing in ales then for specific ales. But I was in Edinburgh, so that might be a bit for for you to go for a drink if you're in England!
A Moscow mule is ginger beer, vodka, and lime in a copper mug. Supposedly it tastes different in copper, but really it just keeps your drink colder longer. Erm. I found a pic to post but it's seriously ENORMOUS. In a spoiler. Anyone know how to resize pics?
@darkstar42 Just outside of London....We're trying to make it up to Edinburgh for Xmas markets at some point though.
Ah! I've seen a Moscow mule before then...I always wondered about the copper mug though. I'm going to have to get one next time we're out. Though last time we were at a pub, I asked for a whiskey sour and they had no clue how to make it. Maybe I should just so a homemade version...lol
@josie12367 The Christmas market in Edinburgh is wonderful! It's such a beautiful city in general. If you can go up for the festival in August, that's a blast too.
@josie12367 That cider looks so good! I love cider but I don't love any of the ones that are available in my area. I would love to try out the ciders in the UK! @blackhottamales Enjoy your margaritas AFM: I'm allowed to drink now, huzzah! I got a box of dry rose wine tonight. Can't wait to relax with a glass later once it's chilled! I'm going to drink it while catching up on new episodes of The Fosters.
