I like my drinks at anchor. I tend to worry too much underway but a nightcap does make for a great convivial if it's an easy sail. Underway I really go for Campari & soda. That drink seems to kill any motion sickness.

underway i drink coffee and water and whatever, anything else-- fruit drinks--no alcohol.

top up Cola
dash of Lime juice
dash of Lemon juice
5 Ice cubes
1 Lemon wedge
dash of Sugar syrup
Just keep topping up with the cola

If i make it around your way we will have too give it a go. I was already thinking the original Long Island recipe was a great soothing drink for the occasion

Don’t freak that I am politically correct. As above after seeing the destructive side of drugs and alcohol I am probably just a bit more “sensible” when it comes to this topic. Admittedly, I have even been hitting those cheap wines a bit too much myself of late.

My weapon of choice before dark has to be an ice cold beer. In summer I go a good clean crisp euro bottle and in winter stout. After dark a good bottle of Shiraz is the go – something slightly delicate where the complex flavours dance to the kero lanterns and seas. Gotta admit to I am a sucker for a good Scotch. Just the stuff I prefer is usually out of the budget. Last time I was up Airlie Beach I hit the rum bar and became partially addicted to that 18 whatever rum with the vanilla tones. Another one for special occasions.

A foodie blog I read posted an article about appreciating cheap wine and of course, they're using Two Buck Chuck as the example (I think they read my mind!)

<<<<< Here I can get a pretty decent wine in a 3litre box for 7.99euro or a modest 5litre wine in a 5litre box for the same... number 3 for friends number 5 for the rest....lol

Vanilla Vodka + Coke = Vanilla Coke
Vodka + Cherry Coke = Cherry Coke
I'm a cheap drunk...Capt Morgan + Pepsi and a splash of water, but never underway....LL in Cold Country CT

boatman--is what i thought ye meant-- pour the kahlua over the realllly goood real vanilla bean ice cream..yummmmmmmm...i will have to work on htat one for improvements/modifications........ has lotsa potential......like chocolate, ye know---or add it to coffee....
i do splurge on my ice cream--but only if it is on sale.....

[Bergovoy]

vodka and vanilla coke was my favorite for a long long time... I wasnt a fan of flavored alcohol other then the lemon/citrus flavors...

[atoll]

vodka and fresh orange juice.....gotta get ya vitamins somehow

[zeehag]

oooohhh noooo--- dark rum like myers, and fresh squeezed orange juice-- muddy waters....LOL.... awesome.. beats vodka soooo bad.. lol yummmmmm.. bu ti dont drink,so i wouldnt know.....

[hummingway]

If I'm not drinking beer, and that doesn't happen too often, it's a good 100% agave or calvados or ... well, you know how that goes.

A nice refresher: a couple of cubes, a healthy splash of lime juice, couple of ounces of good tequila and top with soda water.
