personly i like a can of scrumpy jack,old english/ or any sort of larger round the camp fire . spirits wise i would chose a spiced rum ,morgans or sailor jerry. hot drink would have to be a options orange hot chocy or hot milk.

[wattsy]

in the summer if its hot it'll be lager, g&t or cider, any cold weather and the cognac comes out along with penderyn whiskies and sloe gin

 

[g4ghb]

................. is the kettle on?

 

[Shewie]

Jura or JD around the fire at night

Coffee all day long

EDIT:

I'll also be taking a demerara rum I discovered in Scotland in October, OVD if anybody fancies sending me one down

If you had stuck around (and been trashed by the weather like the rest of us on the fri night you could have tried my Birch Sap Wine, mixed fruit, mixed alcyhole "Molotov" (one blast of a cocktail!) sloe gin or blackberry Vodka....
I am also partial to a good malt (laphroiag is mt favourite) straight or with rain water only!
Only American "whiskey" should be diluted with anything that might improve the flavour!
Rum - especially spicy is pretty good and is excellent for "motivating" hot choc.
Beer is too much volume in a cold hammock or bivvi - Lager (except good Belgian brews) is the devils own P, except when drunk ice cold (so you cannot taste it) under an African tree.
Cider is OK - especially if mulled...but to avoid chemicals it has to be Organic.....
All that said - the best booze is the stuff your pals pass you around the camp fire - sharing adds to the pleasure!
Avoid Omnicom, Saki, Croation home distilate and Hungarian "wiski"....

Come evening, it's whisky and water for me - usually an Islay, particularly Caol Ila.

 

[hog]

Tea sweetened with condesed milk

 

[jamin]

my dads sloe gin or sloe vodka goes down very well when its cold out. in shure a drop will be coing out with me while away with the scouts this weekend

 

[lavrentyuk]

Mulled wine with some added dark Rum.

Chili Vodka, especially a dash in the hot chocolate.

Because I hate getting out of my bag in the night to go for a pee.

Ale or home made cider in the summer though.

If no African tree is avialable that will - as they say - do nicely!

 

[robin wood]

I'm with Shewie, can't beat passing a bottle of JD round a campfire.

I'm 100% with Gregorach here; cask strength Caol Ila without any shadow of a doubt usually (but not always) with a touch of pure water.

Cheers,

Are you serious - America's equivalent of Bells. Now a nice decent Bourbon is a different matter.

JD - only spirit that give me indigestion, not even the" Cretian Family Raki" I acquired form a farm out there

If it's just me and the dog in daylight;

Tea NATO standard (Coo n 2 - milk n 2 sugars).

Variations (depending upon what I forgot to pack) are;

Julie/Julie Andrews - White none
Whoopi - Black none
Warsaw Pact - no milk, no sugar, no tea, cold water only.

If it's around the campfire of an evening, depending upon readies it's;

Macallan or Laphraoig,
Warmed Sake, but usually
Vodka and Cola.

In the morning black, sweet, tar like coffee!!!
