I'm not what you might call "a drinker."
For the past two decades, I've have consumed about 5 or 6 ounces of alcohol a year (not counting about 2 beers, maybe three... and the odd Egg Nog.)
But when you have one of those days... Even not being a drinker... I need a drink.
Now I don't really drink, as I've said... I'm never looking to get drunk, and I don't really care for the hazy buzz after the first 15 minutes... When I think about a drink, I think more of the experience of actually drinking it... I wanted it to taste good. I don't want fire washing down my gullet, I don't relish the subtle variables of hops, nor am I OK with something that I can smell in my own sweat (or on my own breath 5 hours later.)
I suppose I should be embarrassed to admit I like sweet drinks like a classic strawberry daquiri (never whip cream please.) But I have also enjoyed brandies, wines like Blue Nun, Fassi Bataglia, and the like, rum and Coke, and even a kind-hearted sipping tequila has peaked my enjoyment. If I do go out "for a drink" most of that is off the table... what should I ask for?
Gimme suggestions people... gimme you're suggestions, for a non-connoisseur...
