Blue label JW w LA ICE
How big is your glass?
Really expansive Scotch
It must be quite a big bottle!
It is, hence it's so expensive. 😉
Can it be seen from the moon
I hope you don't mean that brown fizzy drink?
Otherwise, I'm with you on the coke, but add some ice.McCallum 30 with RC cola is my drink of choice
Where do you get Royal Crown Cola in Oz?
Those premix drinks are nice, mainly because they can independently tweak the sweetness, flavour strengths and carbonation to get them just right. But they cost a ridiculous fortune. I believe they’re heavily taxed. They also have a bit of a bogan rep compared to spirit + mixer.
Ever tried petrol in a coke bottle brother?
Non alcoholic in no particular order
Coke vanilla
Pasito
Solo
Appletiser
Ribena (pre mixed)
Golden circle golden punch (only valid if delivered via popper format)Alcoholic
Zacapa 23 straight up
Long Island Ice tea (mainly because you can’t beat the value)
Negroni
White RussianAgree with Zacapa 23. Flor de Cana 18 is also a favourite, straight up…..no ice.
So nice to sip it on a winter night
I find the Z23 a bit too sweet but not bad at all
haha it is VERYYYYY sweet i will admit, but sometimes its nice to enjoy your drink as opposed to grimacing at every sip of a real peaty whisky for instance..
Ribena (pre mixed)
I feel this is very underappreciated.
(I used to buy the poppers. So good with a boring sandwhich at lunch)Yes very underrated. A lot of people I tell about it totally forgot ribena is still a thing
must confess i forgot about it until i saw your post :D
I use Ribena with the sodastream
Have you tried the Zacapa XO?
I really like the Zacapa 23, and was considering trying the XO, but hesitating over the 2x price tag
Unfortunately I’m not part of the rich guys of ozbargain club…
Isnt long island cocktails expensive?
Depends where you go. But normally Long Island is almost same price as any other cocktail but has on average 2 more shots for the money.
Depends on the bartender though. Sometimes they will try and do half shots of each alcohol variant instead of full shots.
Used to love Zacapa. Still don't mind it but Diplomatico is a better rum.
Negronis all the way.
I have always been curious about diplomatico. Still waiting for a sick deal to take a dive on it. Current prices I’d rather stick to what I know and just go with z23.
I jumped on this deal a few months back: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/643402
I think this sort of price will become more common. Worth every cent.
Non-alcoholic: Ice cold water
Alcoholic: SapporoWhy ice water? I much prefer room temp, and after being run through a charcoal filter tastes almost sweet, which is a side point.. What's the benefit of ice cold for you?
Lychee drinks are my favourite but they’re usually packed with sugar.
What about lychee martini, so good.
I'll have to give this a try!
Goon
Budget friendly and nothing but nostalgia.Usually chased with Grange.
Ive been a lawyer for twenty years and Im drinking goon right now. Nothing wrong with it as far as Im concerned.
Mad respect
Been an engineer for 4 years and of the same mindsetYes you can afford better but nothing replaces goon
how to i get what this goon?
@capslock janitor: Go to the liquor store and ask for their finest drop
Then when they show you walk straight past it and grab a 5L cask of fruity lexia
Non alcoholic:
Also Coke vanilla :-)
Yuzu soda
Lemon lime & bitters
Calpis
Coconut water

Sake
Starward Nova Single malt neat
Espresso martini
Mojito (on a warm day)
Stone & Wood Pacific Ale
Japanese lager beersYuzu soda - damn u got fancy taste!
I totally forgot Soju! Soju x Sprite is so goooodddd.
Beer + Soju = somaek = fun times
Also forgot:
Makgeollii tried yakult x soju before..it must be trying to emulate makgeolli?
I've got a bottle of the Nova - it burns neat what's the deal? Do aussie whiskeys suffer from low maturation?
I would say some definitely do, as they haven't had the time to mature in barrel. The Nova is easy drinking (and their distillery is like 10 minutes away from me in Port Melbourne), though i wouldn't compare it some something with age, maybe it lacks a bit of complexity. I enjoy it regardless.
When I was in Tassie, had some lovely whisky from Lark, Sullivan's cove but those are very expensive. Hellyers road is more within my price range and do some good stuff.
We have the same taste.
Carrot juice
Pastis
I haven’t! Sounds so good, gonna attempt it this weekend.
I tried it at restaurant Hubert and thought it was pretty awesome, nice little novelty.
Totally destroyed my insides though (lactose intolerance).

IMO the best Sarsaparilla was Tarax Sars. Sad they don’t make it anymore.
i agree, but bundeberg one is the closest i found to that tarax taste. another close one is the schweppes one.
Vanilla coke, Pepsi Max and sunkist zero sugar
Water.
Green tea.
Water does just fine :)
Vb
Veri Best
bundaberg sarsaparilla. i would love to try some other countries versions of it, i think bundaberg makes it properly rather than just using a flavouring like most other australian manufacturers, but i'm not entirely sure.
