Poll a Holic

[howeird]

A very simple poll. Just curious. This applies only to the types of hard alcohol which are intended for drinking. No whining about wine, please.

Ha First!

I like Rum & Tequila in things, not to fond of them alone. If I drink vodka and gin, which is rare, they too are in mixed drinks.

One exception, St Georges makes a Buddha's Hand Vodka that is wonderful!

I also like some of the stuff the St George's comes up with that don't fit in your list like their White Qi.

Yes, I like how St George's is playing with that whole distilled thing.

I just enjoy good tasting alcohol. The nasty stuff in any of the above categories will only be sipped once then put down.

Delany's vanilla Irish cream. Cheap and Yum. Have to sip it though. If you try to get too much in your mouth the alcohol taste is too strong.

I get maybe one or two bottles a year and pretty rarely have any.

I like weird sweet liqueurs, particularly Creme de Violette and Saint Germain (which is made from elderflowers). Those are too sweet to drink straight but are lovely added to dry champagne.

I ticked every box on the "which do you drink?" question, because I have drunk all of those and would do again if offered. My answer would be a little narrower were the question "which do you drink on a regular basis?".

As for the taste of alcohol, sometimes it's pleasant, sometimes not so. Humans have an instinctive aversion to bitter tastes, for instance -- it's a good defence mechanism against poisonous berries, etc -- so you have to unlearn that to enjoy beer.
