The most important drink of the day

[Senator Jack]

Tough decision. i have to go with pre-prandial.

 

[Smithy]

I'm partial to all of them

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Lately I have been in favor of the Oh-god-I-managed-to-make-it-through-another-insane-day-working drink.....

Technically it's also pre-prandial, but only because I can't even -ponder- food making until I forget the day a bit.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Mojito!...under the deck umbrella.....

[Feraud]

The Nightcap.
After a day of work and all other nonsense, I want to drink for the drink itself.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Laudanum.

A pint of Guinness just before bed. It's Good For You.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Vin Mariani. (Also known as coca wine.) A big hit around here in the 1870s.

[Marc Chevalier]

Oh, and Pemberton's French Wine Coca. A nice coca wine, by the guy who went on to invent ...er... "the pause that refreshes."

[PrettySquareGal]

My option isn't on there. It's the swig of rice milk after eating an Oreo.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

The nightcaps lead the poll pack. Huh? What's the fun of being drunk while asleep? You won't have any hijinks to not remember.

I'm with Miss Neecerie, I need a cocktail before I engage in my wifely duties of cooking and *God forbid* cleaning. I don't always cook and clean, the hubby does contribute sometimes, and in that case I drink before dinner just to celebrate that I'm not doing the work!

I can't let a topic as important as this go by without sticking my oar in...

I have to say it's the pre-prandial cocktail, the evening's gateway and the first step to a night of entertainment, conviviality and (generally) more cocktails. The moments of greeting as friends arrive, the excitement of plans being hatched, those first cold touches on the tongue, the thrill as that first frisson of alcohol slides elegantly in the bloodstream... The night's first drink is redolent with promise, with possibility and with delight!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I'm with [etc.]

But ShortClara, are you indeed short?

It's been too long since this joint has been graced with the terms frisson and redolent. Where have those critters been hiding?

Water. You can never have enough of it

 

[Absinthe_1900]

Aperitif, if you have to ask which one...

 

[Spitfire]

Nothing beats the drink you have after work - before preparing dinner.
And the glass of redwine you have while you are preparing dinner...that leads you straight on to the nice bottle of Italian redwine with the dinner...

 

[Diamondback]

Anything with either caffeine or electrolytes--yes, those two chemicals are probably tearing me apart inside, but they're the only thing giving me a fighting chance of keeping up with the youngsters...
