My Answers:
1: Do you drink alcohol? Yes, in moderation.
2: Did you participate in "Dry January?" No. No reason to.
3: A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred? Gin, extra dry, shaken.
4: Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? For most of my life the answer was no, there was never anyplace close by, or within walking distance. Here at the condo, we have a bar in the community center, a two minute walk across the back drive.
5: What is your favorite drink to order? I am most likely to ask for water, if I order a cocktail away from home, a gin martini, or a Manhattan.
Please share your answers in the comments.
Do you drink alcohol? Yes!
ReplyDeleteDid you participate in "Dry January?" Surely you jest?
A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred? Gin, shaken.
Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? Yes. Five I like.
What is your favorite drink to order? Gin and Tonic, almost always. But I also like mojitos, Pimms Cups, and a good dry red wine.
Does he drink? Is the Pope Catholic?
Delete1. I certainly do.
ReplyDelete2. No. Why would I?
3. Gin, stirred so not bruised by shaking. Getting the right amount of vermouth is a skill bar staff should have, and I don't have that skill.
4. No, but we used to have a local pub.
5. Cocktails here are quite expensive. In the daytime if at a pub for a family gathering, I usually have a gin and tonic in a small glass.
At the Wild Turkey Distillery the docent explained the Australian tax system, WT was developing low proof pre-mixed coctails because the tax was significantly lower than shipping in high proof. They were shipping in like 5,000 gallon stainless steel tanks.
Delete1: Do you drink alcohol? Not anymore.
ReplyDelete2: Did you participate in "Dry January?" Not by choice. By kidneys!
3: A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred? Gin... or vodka. No preference on shaken or stirred either.
4: Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? So many options.
5: What is your favorite drink to order? There were so many. At one point I loved White Russians. Long Island Iced Tea (after the first one). Gin & Tonic. Chocolate Martini.
We do hope your health restores to the point of no restrictions.
DeleteUnfortunately, that will never happen. But, things are going well.
Delete1. I do. But now it is very rarely.
ReplyDelete2. Nah. Though truth be told, I only had two beers in January.
3. IF I have a marini, which is super super rare: gin. Until recently I didn't have a shaker, so they'd have just been stirred.
4. I don't go out enough to do that, but IF I had one, it is within walking distance from home. That's important.
5. Anymore it is usually a margarita on the rocks, no salt. Silver tequila. No agave, but simple syrup is ok.
Walking distance is very important.
Delete1: Do you drink alcohol? No. I guzzle it like a water buffalo.
ReplyDelete2: Did you participate in "Dry January?" Ha-ha! Of course not.
3: A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred? Not for me thank you very much.
4: Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? Yes. In fact I have three locals - "The Banner Cross Hotel", "The Itchy Pig" and "The Hammer and Pincers".
5: What is your favorite drink to order? Non-alcoholic - a latte. Alcoholic - a pint of Tetley's bitter.
Traditional British Pubs have such wonderful names.
DeleteThere used to be a pub called "The Penguin" in Sheffield and there still is such a pub in Plymouth, Devon.
Delete1: Do you drink alcohol? Yes, I do.
ReplyDelete2: Did you participate in "Dry January?" I did this year because my friend asked me participate in Dry January with her. I don't drink much so it was easy for me. It gave me an opportunity to try a couple non-alcoholic wines (meh) and some NA cocktails (too fruity).
3: A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred? Neither, thank you. My favorite martini memory is of my dad making martinis for my mom and him after he got home from work. He used a glass baby bottle to measure out the gin and vermouth, poured the concoction into pretty martini glasses, added a couple ice cubes, stirred, and then 3 olives in each.
4: Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? There are a few.
5: What is your favorite drink to order? Typically wine but I like to look at the cocktail menu and see what the bartenders sugest. When I'm in NYC, I always order a Manhattan in Manhattan.
I rarely drink at lunch, but a Manhattan in Manhattan is an exception.
Delete1: Do you drink alcohol? Yes I do!
ReplyDelete2: Did you participate in "Dry January?" My birthday week is in January, so .... Nope.
3: A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred? Vodka, preferably Ketel One and shaken
4: Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? There are a couple of good bars in downtown Camden.
5: What is your favorite drink to order? It's called a Bob-a-rita because I'm Bob and I will say I created it: two part Anejo Tequila, one part Fresh Lime, and one part Grand Marnier, shaken and served straight up with a wedge of lime.
Someday I need to try good tequila.
Delete1. No, not since the mid 1990s.
ReplyDelete2. I don't drink alcohol ever.

ReplyDelete2. No need -- every January is dry for me, LOL!
3. I've never had a martini.
4. I don't go to any local pub or bar.
5. The last time I had a drink in a bar was 2018 in Maui. I ordered a Moscow Mule. At home, I may have an eggnog 'n rum on Xmas Eve. Life in the fast lane, I know! I do like a nice Black Russian too but can't remember the last time I indulged in one of those.
Black Russians are so good.

I have been to Hanny's a few times, it is fun.
Delete1: Do you drink alcohol?
ReplyDeleteWith great pleasure, and without apology, but also responsibly.
2: Did you participate in "Dry January?"
I don’t do trendy. Besides, the northeast is bleak in January - the only two things to do around here are Ski and have cocktails.
3: A martini, Gin or Vodka, Shaken or Stirred?
I can drink both, but a I have grown to prefer a good ice cold Gin martini (shaken, not stirred. Please!) over ice with a splash of dry vermouth and a bit of lemon on the rim - it’s heaven.
4: Is there a place you would consider your local pub or bar? Nope. Many moons ago, we were regulars at two of the semi-local gay bars - Rocks and Oh Bar - but now I much prefer dinner with cocktails and nightcaps at home with friends. In Ptown, we are particularly found of the Harbor Lounge.
