    Alcohol Advise

    Ok so first I never really was a alcohol fan however I recently got into Kopparberg Pear Cider (mainly because it doesn't taste like alcohol) but I am curious what other alcoholic drinks you recommend that doesn't taste too much like alcohol

    I've been digging these. They aren't very strong, but they are incredibly tasty.

    There are quite a few drinks that don't taste like alcohol. Ciders -- you can look into Lambics if you want a cider-like beer.

    There's also alcohol with lemonade and such...punches often lose the alcohol taste. Champagne, soda, and St. Germaine creates a nice sweet drink that doesn't taste strongly like booze.

    Lambics are nice for a casual drink. I like them when entertaining and just hanging out.

    These are pricey per bottle, but they are seriously one of the best alcoholic drinks I have ever had.

    They also have a very low alcohol content so are good for drinking without getting boozy.

    The Bulmers flavored Ciders are in the same vein, Black Cherry>Blood Orange>Blueberry>Strawberry. Cocktails are everywhere atm too.

    I remember trying Southern Comfort and Sprite when I had an upset stomach. It barely tasted alcoholic at all. If you are drinking with others though you might get a bit of flak for drinking a 'girls' drink.

    White russians are delicious and everyone should be enjoying them. Just Kahlua, vodka, and milk.



    Even the dude approves.

    As a person who has been drinking since I was 14 (now 35) there is no such thing as a 'girls drink'. There is only what you like, and what is hard enough to fit your tolerance.

    LOL! Or you can be gross like me, and just drink Vodka and Milk. No Kahlua.

    Other fruits can be used to make cider-like drinks. The most popular is made from fermented pear juice, known as perry. It is called poiré in France, and produced mostly in Lower Normandy there. A branded sweet perry known as Babycham, marketed principally as a women's drink and sold in miniature Champagne-style bottles, was once popular but has become unfashionable. Another related drink is cyser – cider fermented with honey.

    Although not widely made in modern times, various other pome fruits can produce palatable drinks. Apicius, in Book II of De re coquinaria, includes a recipe calling for quince cider.

    Southern Comfort is definetly good in terms of taste/degree. Alone with a couple of ice cubes, perfect!
    i couldnt believe it was bourbon the first time I drank it

    Cheap beer is the best beer that's my motto. Doesn't taste like alcohol it tastes like piss so if you're into that type of stuff

    I mostly stick to ciders. In the past I was very fond of straight Gin though, so I'm probably not the best person to make recommendations here.

    JK Skrumpy is my current favorite.

    My beer of choice

    Tastes amazing, I can drink this because I like it rather than other beers where I literally only drink to get drunk.

    Better off just drinking Sambuca. It'll get you drunker quicker.

    Unless you outside of the U.S. and can get a hold of some really good absinthe. But even at that, it doesn't exactly have the psychedelic effect that some claim it does.
