Drink Combos

I'm a big fan of Guinness and often drink it at home but I always wish it was creamier. So last night I had a brainwave. I went to the shop and bought a 6 pack and a carton of fresh cream. I put a big teaspoon of cream into my pint glass before adding the Guinness. It was gorgeous!! It tasted like the Guinness in Ireland (i don't live there....obviously).

It curdled a little and turned a weird maroon colour but it was really gorgeous.

Another of my favourite drinks is rum and ginger ale. One night recently I came home drunk and there was no booze in the gaf except for crabbies ginger ale beer and a bottle of rum so I thought...f*ck it...why not,,,,and mixed them together. I call it 'Crum'. I can't say it tasted great but i can say that I nearly puked on the tube the next day thinking about it.

So what about you? Any recommendations or suggestions?

Went out in Galway one night with a few friends.....twas a good night but one of the lads doesn't know when to stop.

When we woke up the next morning (from a lot of shouting and roaring) we found him down in the kitchen with a full pint glass of Vodka, Red Bull and about 3 beroccas....needless to say he didn't come down for a while - dunno how he didn't die of a heart attack

You guessed it, Smirnoff Ice and Heiniken.

Tastes great (like a shandy) and you'll have a great night on it, but you'll be sorry the next day....

that sounds interesting, I drank something called a hydro-shandy while on holiday in Ibiza a few years back and was lovely and also potent, this could possibly be the holy grail of shandys I have been looking for all these years

thanks!

Had an impromptu game of Kings at the end of a failed college shindig once, the "King's cup" contained Budweiser, some other macro-lager (Fosters, I think), Coke, bourbon from my own bottle and Exputex... it was honestly amazing!

Oh stop, I had dutch gold, white wine, vodka and cooking oil before. I feel ill when I think of it, but I drank it so I didn't look like a chicken

Guinness Rum. I saw this on Twitter coming up to Paddy's Day and had to try it. It tastes fantastic!

Spiced rum, Guinness and ginger beer.

Captain Morgans and Red Lemonade, tastes exactly the same as Frosties. Delish.

I must try that! sounds nice

1 part buckfast mixed with 2 parts extremely dry bitter homemade cider. Makes the buckfast bearable.

Smivvy's Cola Kubes vodka is delicious.

Cointreau and Red Bull is a nice one. (aka Skittle-Bomb)

I once drank what I called wineken. Red wine and heineken at the same time through two straws. I lasted about 10 mins after that and there's still a red puke stain outside my old appartment.

3/4s of a pint of Bulmers topped up with Blue Wkd is lovely.

Buckfast, white wine, bulmers & vodka in a pint glass... Surprisingly not the worst thing I've ever drank.

Oh yeah, and ran out of beer at a mates house last week so he got the poitin out. Only mixer available was this rancidly disgusting pineappleade drink called SMAK(looked like it was sourced from an Afghanistani poundshop). I wouldn't recommend it, Poitin and smak is a combo not to be messed with..

So you like sweeter drinks? Some of the Belgian stuff could be for you, though be warned it often packs a punch. There's a few breweries around the place in Ireland/UK that do Chocolate Stout, not my thing exactly but I know people who wouldn't be beer fans have tried it & liked it. Best bet is to find a good brew pub with a large variety of beers & ask the barman then spend an evening experimenting. If you're lucky the place will sell sample trays of beers so you can try a small amount of several at a time. The various Porterhouses in Dublin are usually good for this, as is the Franciscan Well in Cork.

I like sweeter things all right ciders vodkas and redbulls that kinda thing. I have had that chocolate stout before wasn't too pleased with it. Next time in Cork or Dublin I'll seek them out cheers. Often O briens off licenses do tasters as well ill have a look in there too

Vodka with Club Lemon is nice, takes the edge off it.

Vodka & Club Lemon is fair tasty, as is vodka & Fanta.

Jameson & Red lemonade, nice old boys drink

My favourite combo would a drink we call the headmelter . 1 measure of jack daniels , 1 measure of archers , 1 measure of vodka , 3 shots of cola cubes and top it off with some 7 up .

The worst thing I have ever tasted would be flaming aftershocks . You put some aftershock in a wine glass and light it on fire . Spin the wine glass for about 40 seconds . Pour the aftershock into a glass and put the wine glass upside down on blue roll with a straw sticking through it . Drink the aftershock and inhale the gas out of the wine glass .

I was in Germany twice couldn't find any nice beers except Mixeries which is beer mixed with a flavoring. Any recommendations?

Blue aftershock is ok but the red one is rotten. I remembered another good drink combo. Fill a shot glass three quarters with kahlua and then use baileys to top it up so the baileys sits on top of the kahlua. Its called a baby guinness, delicious.

I saw a chap spend the night drinking pints of Guinness & Lucozade in my local a few years ago. Totally wierd

South-West Coast Comfort Cooler would be better.

I prefer what we call it, rolls off the tongue easier: West Coast Comfort.

Anyway, my favourite at the moment would be Havana Club Rum, Ginger Ale and a quart of lime squeezed into the glass first (leave in the quart also). Any deviation from this and it's horrible, but done right it's heaven!

An expensive favourite of mine is Tia Maria, Baileys, Kahlua, Creme de Cacao, milk and a cream head. Could drink them for weeks on end without stopping! Screaming Multiple Orgasm minus the vodka.

Purple Headed Monster - 2 shots of red aftershock, 2 shots of blue aftershock

Aftershock is the WORST of all the shots, worse than tequila, sambuca, any of them! It should be banned, luckily you don't really see it much anymore. Have some horrible memories of mornings after drinking it- it's what evil tastes like.

I like a Malibu and West Coast Cooler Rose, think it's sometimes called a Malibu Barbie, delish although it blows the head off you!

Blue Caracao and Orange Juice is yum too although it goes a weird greeny kind of colour.

I drank more than enough last weekend and yet now I want to go out again after reading this thread despite it only being Tuesday...

Maybe you haven't found the right beer. Try stuff outside the mass-market swill & you might well find a brew that suits your taste buds. There's a huge variety of flavours out there if you look for it.
