What spirits have you either tried or had more than once?

In my case,I was 18 when I tried advokaart.I can't remember what it tastes like.

I have had bourbon & Coke,which is really nice mixed together.I found drinking bourbon straight to be too strong.

I'm not really a spirits drinker though.I enjoy my beer,especially the draught beer,lager,& a pub ale.

I mixed Cretan Tsikoudia + Cypriot Zivania and pure Greek Ouzo some years ago, since then I live in a dream world.. :)

I think it's more what haven't I tried!

My favourites are Hine Cognac and very good malt whiskey although I don't have them often as it makes me feel horrible the next morning.

8-10 short of tequila and 3 Long Islands (which include few white alcoholic drinks) are enough to bright my night! :D

I am a big fun of spirits instead of beer! Wine and bayleys with ice will do for more chill out moments.

Lena, you can hold 10 shots of tequila and 3 LI's?! :shock: Have you got a wooden leg or something? :lol: :lol:

If you want something truly evil, combine passion fruit juice and rum in equal quantities in a large glass. The passion fruit juice kills the taste of alcohol. I had to watch the drink being made to believe there was any rum in it.

In high school and college we used to mix fruit juice with Mad Dog 20/20 and Thunderbird and the results were "jungle juice." The girls loved it...after a few drinks inhibitions melted.

I can take a lot of alcohol Dinos. I am afraid that now in UK that I stopped drinking that much, I might not be able to take that much.

I might try your suggestion one time.

The white Horse on Limassol sea front once had some South Korean Adder whisky. A rough enough spirit to start with but it becomes Adder whisky by putting a live adder in it then sealing the bottle. As the adder dies it releases the content of its guts into the liquid.

It tastes like someone has farted in your mouth!

There is not enough space or time to list them all! But to start with some memorable ones- tequila, vodka, shlivovits, schnapps, tsipouro, tsikoudia, raki, zivania, aguardiente, ouzo, and that is just the clear ones. Then you have whiskey, whisky, brandy and cognac (not the same), rum, a whole bunch of liquers, all tasted more than once. Firm favorite remain ouzo and zivania taken with food. Getting drunk is not my thing, not fun to get into a haze where yo cant remember what you said or did and to whom you said it or did it!
