Friday Question, Beverage edition
ROUTE 1 staff ask you to please drink responsibly, particularly when considering the following:
1. FRIDAY QUESTION: "What is your favorite cocktail?"
2. Beer enthusiasts: You may answer with your favorite beer.
3. Non-drinkers: You may answer with your favorite non-alcoholic beverage.
4. Don't drink much of anything except water? You may answer "water."
BEKAH P. -- I am loving martinis right now. Pretty much any martini with a fruit or
chocolate flavor -- I am there!
MIKE M. -- I enjoy browsing Target's liquor aisle, then consulting my Idiot's Guide to Wine to see what a bad selection I've made. Does anyone know if it's possible to find a decent bottle of Bordeaux Cabernet in Dubuque for less than $25? Cheers!
JOHN S. -- Cap'n & Coke
SASKIA M. -- My all-time favorite: Harvey Wallbanger!!!
ELLEN B. -- Busch Light or Bud Light.
MIKE D. -- Back in the wild, rock band days of my youth, I was quite the drinker ... of Mountain Dew, that is. Then I met my future wife, and she changed my wicked ways. Now I drink water almost exclusively. It's healthier, and I haven't had a kidney stone since then.
KERI M. -- Favorite Drink: Blue Monday. 2 oz vodka, 1/4 oz triple sec, 1/4 oz blue Curacao, 3/4 oz. Sprite, 1/4 oz. lemon juice.
MARY N.-P. -- While I used to ingest decent amounts of Jose Cuervo Gold (for years
actually), I don't any more. Now I like a good quality dark rum and OJ or 7-up. So smoooooth!
AMY G. -- Mojitos -- the real deal with crushed mint. Had a great one at 111 Main in
Galena.
RICK T. -- Pepsi Cola!!!!!
BRIAN C. -- Current favorite beer: 312. It's brewed in Chicago, home of the 312 Area Code. Second favorite beer: Whatever I'm holding in my hand at the time.
STEVE M. -- Homemade margarita: 2 oz tequila, 3 oz pure lime juice, 2 oz triple sec. They are strong. Reduce tequila, or increase triple sec to taste. Shake in skaker with ice, and some melted ice to dilute the mixture is part of the drink.
LISA Y. -- The classic margarita, with chips and salsa, of course!
BRIAN M. -- I'm mostly a beer person (favoring Guinness (dark) and Sierra Nevada (lighter)), but I'm curious enough to try a Rusty Nail. I've never tried Drambuie, and I found out just yesterday it's from Scotland.
ERIK H. -- Ah yes! The Rusty Nail. Drambuie + Scotch = Rusty Nail. I prefer Chivas Regal as my Scotch (my pocketbook disagrees). Hail Scotland!

Neat article here from the TH:
"Bordeaux: Why should we drink it?"I wonder where the idea for this article came from? Heh!
