Hahahahahaaaaaa, never heard it called that before.
It shall be known as Horseshoe Coffee from this moment on!!
Every time I make it, I'll laugh just thinking of the name.
Comedy Gold mate.
When my sister drinks my morning coffee, she shouts "CLEAR!!" like they do on Casualty etc., says it kick starts her heart...
Thinking back to drinking out doors I was nearly always at bike rallies. So typically anything available was consumed with equal passion. Now in my dottage I'd settle for a glass of fine red wine, well bodied and full flavoured. Especially after a campfire roast dinner. Hmmm v e n i s o n, aarrgh.
An' anything else that gets passed around.....an' around...an' around.....don't we all?...or is it just a welsh thing...lol
for me it has to be Coffee,
razor sharp knives, sharp axes and alcohol........a bad combination burrrrrrrrr (hairs standing up on the back of my neck)

For me Black tea in the morning Strong coffee with honey and milk, and plenty of it. If it's cold I carry a hip flask of single malt, to be taken as required.
Got to be a good whisky everytime.
Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Dalwhinnie and Glenmorangie are a few firm favourites. Not too picky though, as long as long as the label has the words "single" and "malt" - i'm happy.

You really cant beat a good cup of tea once you have set up camp. Getting a brew on is the first thing we do. In the later hours I tend to start on the single malt though.
Home made, sloe gin in hip flask, and multiple bottles of Koppaberg cider=great nighs sleep for me.
Tea for morning and noon, but at night, a bottle of our homemade raspberry mead is quite a treat.

Camp isn't properly set up until the first brew of tea is made 
That having been said, omce the sun is over the yard-arm and the evening chill begins to decend, it simply has to be good Jamaican rum, and no shortage of it !

If you had stuck around (and been trashed by the weather like the rest of us
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"....
you and sapper are for 1 mental or 2 really love the outdoors? i defently think its 1 and 2

TTFN. the blackberry vodka sounds sweet hopefully get to taste it one day.
