So I haven't been keeping up with blogs recently but things have been pretty crazy (more on that in another blog) but this weeks homework from @rambo @missy and @lyxzen was your favorite beverages!
Coffee, wine, bourbon, and (in certain circumstances) vodka tonic with lime.
Caffeine is definitely an addiction of mine, in particular coffee. I love it pretty much always but there are definitely favorites. I am guilty of having a Starbucks gold card for several years and frequently get rewards. My favorite drinks from there are nonfat iced Carmel macchiatos with an extra shot of espresso. I also am a huge fan of the iced salted Carmel late or frappachino in the fall. That was definitely my vice when I worked at a mall a few years ago and had to walk past Starbucks every time I arrived/left the mall. I also have a keurig that I use daily usually with some sort of flavored creamer. My boyfriend and I also love using our pour-over on a weekly basis to make pitchers of iced coffe. I prefer my iced coffee black, no cream or sugar. That's what I typically get on super hot days or when I have to make a quick drive through coffee run before work.
I like all wine, I literally haven't had a kind I didn't like. But I definitely drink red way more. I love a good Cabernet or red blend. Those are definitely my favorites. I love Cupcake's Black Forest Decadent red, Big House Red Blend, and 3 Wishes (whole foods brand) Cabernet which is like $3.50 a bottle. Our Daily Cab is another amazing wine that's also organic! Besides reds I love a good mimosa on my day off, and a rose when I'm craving something sweet. When I first started drinking wine it was pretty much only Pinot Grigio which I still like occasionally but red is definitely where it's at for me.
My favorite bourbon hands down is Bulleit but I really enjoyed Angels Envy as well as Woodford. I haven't had any super high end bourbons before but I probably will next week while I'm on vacation with my family! That's how I got into bourbon. Every thanksgiving for the past several years my family brings a variety of bourbons and we do a "tasting." It's pretty much the only way to get my aunts, uncles, and parents to do shots lol. I love bourbon because of the memories but the taste is great too. I love it plain or with 7-up.
I like vodka tonics because they're cheap and refreshing, it's pretty much the only thing I get when I go to bars. But the local barcade has this drink called the Cyndi Lauper which is amazing and pink and tastes like juice and it has a pineapple wedge on it so that's what I always get there. I also sometimes get the Derryl Hannah which is blue (and tastes like blue) and has Swedish fish in it.
It's weird that most of my favorite drinks are alcohol but I swear I drink a shit ton of water too! I guess that would be a favorite too but I don't think it really counts?
