Gosh thanks..but it's harder to scroll-n-find than my purple one was. Felt 'lippy' for some reason..lol.

A Zombie? Sounds yummy!

Pour Kahlua in a large glass
add milk or half and half until it is the color of chocolate milk. Drink.

Pour Amaretto in a large glass
add OJ until is a sickly brown color.
Drink.

Doesn't take much of either to make your knees wobble when you mix them this way.

Well....I can drink plenty of Kahlua...strange. I've heard other folks say it too....that they just can't get too much. Same for me with any milk/cream based drink it seems. My sister and I were once in a motel and rather than use the 6 oz cups provided for gargling in the bathroom, we used their ice buckets, which were cylindrical instead of square. Now THAT was a Kahlua and cream!! Woohoo!! LOL! Felt that one a bit! ;oP.

Amaretto is a favorite of mine....never had it with OJ...seems odd to combine almond with OJ but will surely give it a chance as they are two of my favorite liquids.

I call it a Sicilian Kiss - that may not be correct, but I don't care. :-)

Any alcoholic drink with milk - patooey!

In fact - just plain milk - patooey!

I'm such a brandy/whiskey chicken...always think I'm gonna lose control on 'em or something because my ex did. But last holidays I had SC in a hot cider and it was killer good. Yikes...so that's double liquor...or pure liquor. How much of each?

No milk-based and no milk???? LOVE em both. I drink me my milk daily....skim of course. AND I drink my Kahlua with skim milk too. A huge tumblerful. :oD

anything with orange juice, cranberry and vodka
and dont forget the mudslides...yummmm

Mmmmm mudslides are my favorite 'pamper me' drink. I always get those when I've been taken out to dinner for some occasion. I like a tall one on the rocks.

White Zin is my favorite wine...cheap is fine. Beringer's please. But I don't object to a fine expensive version.

Yum! Pass the lemon and salt please! I had my first shots with lemon and salt at a little bar a bunch of us wandered to along the shore down in Encinada Mexico. I prefer the gold. Watched fools gobbling down the worm in the Mescal that weekend...foooools! :o((

i mean unless all the beer was gone or something

I am truly shocked....your profile pic demands that you love wine....interesting!!

When I used to drink beer it was Miller Light (not Lite) in the tall bottle. I like to see what's at the bottom. And has to be icy cold....during summer on a hot hot day. I used to be a lumber jill and after a day of winching and dragging and tossing and cutting and loading...icy cold Miller Light at the Pink Elephant was the best reward.

ETA: Hey Blaza, dixie cups work REEEEEAL good for Tequila shots ;)

I'd like that much better if it wasn't blue...yech. I just don't get the blue/green drink thang. Looks like Score mouthwash. But the flavors sound great...sorta like a Pina Colada then...coconut and pineapple.

i completely agree, i think wine is yuck.... pass me the beers, ciders, or spirits whichever you have :D

I learned to drink wine sitting naked on the rocks in the hot springs passing jugs of Boone's or Tyrolia back in the 70's...almost like koolaid. Not the stuffy stuff that tastes like vinegar....which I now ALSO love, but had to LEARN to love...lol!

Quote

To learn to like wine...cheap wine in a cooler is best. Wine with 7UP or a fruit juice in other words.

Quote

Mimosas! Wonderful! I use mostly champagne and 'top' it with the OJ. Any flavor is good though...passion fruit, peach nectar etc.

INGREDIENTS:
Champagne (1 bottle)
Orange Juice (1 carton)
PREPARATION:
Fill half of a champagne flute with chilled champagne and top off with chilled orange juice, gently stir. For added flare, slice up a strawberry to decorate the rim of each flute. Enjoy! * Also delightful over ice

MmeOdileS wrote:just saw your status deelerock...you ok? hope it is not too bad where you are!

Well....yes and no. I was up in Paradise visiting sisters and we were evacuated for several days..lol. Homeless that is. Then came back home to Clear Lake area and there are fires all over the place. We barely got home as they ended up closing the roads just behind us. The air is so thick with smoke we can't see the lake which is just a few hundred ft away. We are on advisory to stay indoors...that's been since Sunday evening...sigh. Fed up with it. It's got me coughing and my eyes are a mess, but we're safe. My main concern has been my doggies...especially my little chihuahua Rosebud who was with me during the evacuation drama. She's only 5 pounds. Thanks for asking!

Sum_Southern_Sugar wrote:oh yeah!

well, Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and Night Train are obviously excluded from my icky poo list.

Cuz that isn't really wine, it's liquid candy with a kick!

wooohoooo

Lol...yup!

I went through a Freddy Fudpucker phase back in the 70's too. So named so that you say it wrong as you drink more of them.

Hi-ball glass filled with ice...shot of tequila, fill with OJ, and float some Galliano on top.

ladylikepsych wrote:I heard that California is having some fires....yikes!

We currently have hundreds of fires in Northern California. The most recent ones were caused by lightning. The closest one to me is the Walker fire....not real close really, but horrible smoke as I'm in a basin surrounded by hills on the lake.

The one I was evacuated from (The Humboldt fire) was on a mountain ridge, so the air quality was fine but the danger was way worse...it was like we were at the top of a chimney, and there was eventually no way out. Luckily we were on the other side of it...stranded...lol.
