Have to admit the kir with mineral water is a wee bit girly - maybe that's why it's called a 'pink femboy'.

An ice cold bottle of Corona with a slice of lime goes down well. Or an ice cold pint of carlsberg export.

If you're after spirits, then pimms and lemonade as a good summer drink, quite refreshing as well.

So.. am I playing into expectations if I mention that my favorite drinks are made with a blender and have skewered fruit as garnish?

Yep, definately a ladies drink. No red blooded male would be seen dead with skewered fruit.

I just don't like alchohol's taste.. so if the drink tastes like fruit punch I'm soooo there!! Acessories help too.. sparklers, umberellas, those plastic guys that hang off the glass, plastc swords to play-fight... I beleve it's called "girl-drink drunk".... *sigh* guilty...

I come by it honest tho.. one of my lesbians took me out on my 21st birthday and prmptly ordered the "sissiest all-alchohol drink". She came back with a tasty festival in a glass. It tasted so yummy I drank it faster than her girl-friend could get me another. In a very short time I was busy making out with whomever didn't move very fast.

I have learned to temper my actions, but not my love of a refreashing adult beverage that tastes like candy.

And what a drink it is.. colors, fruit, and an umbrella... yum yum.

I don't mind sissified drinks, truth be told, some of those mixed drinks taste fabulous. But in my experience, bars and restaurants often sell very diluted versions, and I'm too cheap to pay $5-7 for what amounts to a shot or two of liqour. I could be drinking at home MUCH cheaper and in MUCH larger volume...

I suppose that I gave up drinking for taste a few years ago. I like beer, and I really prefer imported beer (or craft brewery beer), as it has so much more taste than any of the mass-marketed domestic garbage. But on a per drink basis, I found beer to be an expensive luxury. Particularly when someone such as myself drinks for effect...

And I guess that is my problem...I hear about people that drink these top shelf liquors that are diluted in the very sort of "candy drinks" that you refer to Bionca. If I drink any sort of top shelf (or mid-shelf) liquor, I want it to be for taste. Once a liquor is diluted into fruit juice, soda, seltzer, etc. it looses some of it's character...you might as well be drinking bottom shelf in my opinion. And if you're drinking bottom shelf, you're drinking for effect. I never got people that mix high end liquors into a taste-diluting concoction. I myself want the most bang for my buck...

Personally I like a nice, ice cold Maker's Mark whiskey sour.
If I'm in a non-alcoholic mood a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade.

Honestly, I have no idea what a drink costs... I have never actually bought one in my life. I only drink when I'm out, and I'd never get tipsy alone. So, drinking is a date thing exclusively and pretty much a treat, so I'm going for yummy. If the one buying the drink gets top shelf stuff... I doubt I'd actually know the differance.

.. ok.. so this conversation makes me seem like a twinky little girl *sigh*
