What's your favourite campfire tipple?

[gregorach]

Yeah, I use platypus bottles for my booze - much better than lugging glass around.

Depends on the weather with me.

If it's been a hot day then for me there's nothing like a couple of beers that are as cold as I can get them without a fridge nearby. I'm not too fussy about the brand but I prefer lager and one that has some kind of decent flavour, not one of those bland lemonade-tasting ones.

If it's a bit nippy then my preferred tipple is Jack Daniels. My Scottish ancestors would probably chuck me out of the camp but it's the only whiskey I like in that price range.

My hip flask

Sambucca, mmmmm

sloe gin, but I loose my voice for a few days. Stops me singing anyways.

 

[gorilla]

stella by the crate, and southern comfort by the bottle
couple of salvia pipes....lovely!

 

[Dynamite Dan]

case of stella, kept in a nearby flowing stream to keep cool.

or a bottle of southern comfort

EDIT: just seen your post gorilla, great minds think alike eh?

Like woodsmoke i liked to dance with the green faisy but unlike him my dance hasnt ended (once the fairy has you in her grasp its hard to say no) it has mearly turned from a rave into a more refined waltz, Absinthe in the traditional way or mixed with old fashioned lemonade!!!

Well folks, I'm with Rebel on this, Jack Daniels. No contest. Been to loads of Bike Rallies, and someone will ALWAYS pull a bottle of Jack out, when ya sitting around a fire, then someone ALLWAYS fires up a Harley at 4am, Probably me! Thanks folks,Andy

i've cut down a hell of a lot on my drinking, so now i enjoy a mug of hot chocolate, with a dash of brandy in it. Pure heaven

You seemed to choke down the firewine okay though Mr Da P

[Northern Giant UK]

hmmn, gotto be late on as the cold air drifts in, a nice hot mug of coffee or hot choc with a hearty tot of Rum. Warms you and helps you sleep.

[Matt Weir]

Jack Daniels for me.

 

[KAE1]

Its got to be Aspall Cyder

 

[jamie18thmo]

Port, Southern Comfort, Peach Shnaps, Sloe gin (preferably home made) but I would love some Moniac mead again. A good cup of hot chocolate is probably my favorite though.
Cheers,

Tea as any good birtish person would.
But alcohol wise it would be Cherry Brandy. We found atleast a 20 year old bottle of the stuff in his drinks cabinet after my grandad died.
Or sanbuca.

 

[JulianWormwood]

I must be getting old.

In my youth, I'd drink whatever was passed around, including the melon of death.

Then I'd happily drink decent ale and mead all night long.

Nowadays, I can't beat a few bottles of wine and/or mead.

Whiskey is good in small quantities, but only if it's good whiskey.

 

[Wayland]

Stags Breath for me...

 

[michiel]

Stella (I'm Belgian) and a nice whisky. I love 10 year old Edradour (un-chillfiltrated).

[Lostdreamer]

If weight isn't an issue, and it normally isn't (I like my landrover), then a case of beer supported by some port and/or mead for handing around.

If weight is an issue, then normally a full strength sweet liqueur like glayva.

 

[DP1]

Mead has been metioned a few times in this post, is there anywhere in the north west that supplies it? I have never tried it but would like to, do any of the major supermarkets have it?

 

[scottishwolf]

Morrisons does one for about 3 quid a bottle, it's not bad stuff actually. It's in the section with all the sherry, ginger wine etc
