Although fond of a decent scotch, I have been known to try other spirits on occasion ) I must recomend a dark rum by the unfortunate name of "Mount Gay" Quite the nicest rum I've ever tasted, good with coke or neat.
I've only seen it in tesco, but then I don't shop many other places, saddo that I am!

Sorry connoisseurs but Iam quite partial to a nip of Glenmorangie, or Auchan (SP?) QEii house whisky apparently. Tho I haven't had either for a while cos there in the caravans drinks Cabernet in the woods!

I'm not keen on neat spirits and dont drink scotch at all so I've normally got a nice drop of port in my hip flask, preferably 1 10 year old tawny.

I have the best memories of camping in northern spain with my wife when we were invited to join about 20 locals who were 'preparing' a large bowl of very alcoholic drink. It involved setting light to the liquid for about 30 minutes while everyone sat around the resulting fire and added ingredients like strong coffee and lemons. When it was ready it was some of the nicest drink i've had. We found out that it was the distilled juice from pressing stalks of local vines after the grape harvest.

Even with the language barrier it was one of the best nights of our holiday and we rearly laughed as much.

So the combination of a fire, company and good drink is hard to beat.
