    Default Bourbon, brandy or blackberry wine?

    Coffee, hot chocolate or tea? You've only got so much room in your pack so when it comes to libations what's your druthers?

    Scotch, bourbon, aged rum... in that order.

    Tea or coffee, depending on the trip. Short trips I go with coffee. Long trips I go with tea.
    Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.

    Rum for me.....I'm a fan of Flor de Cana 12 yr old. Coffee in the morning is good, too

    Rhum Barbencourt, Meyer's dark if the former isn't available.

    I'd happily pay dearly for a bottle of Lemon Hart 151.

    That's what mail drops are for...to get around all the local lack of favorites.
    And also why I use so many mail drops....I ain't hitching out of a dry town just to fill my flask. Or explaining to some damn Yankee why I need Luziane tea to make my sweet tea.

    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.

    I like the moonshine. You get more bang for your buck and it can double as stove fuel.

    Patty's Irish whiskey, a good burbon and coffee. Moonshine is good if the person making it doesn't use a ton of extra sugar to pad his profits you lose the taste of the grain when they do that.

    Instant coffee in the morning. I even make it up cold during the hot months when I don't carry a stove. Gatorade in the warmer months I mix it up a little better that 1/2 strength. Usually Black Velvet for evenings It's cheap and goes down easy and comes in a plastic rectangular bottle that is light and fits in a pack easy. I some times transfer scotch or spiced rum in to an old BV bottle. I have noticed a lot of liquors coming in plastic bottles now including Jim Beam. If I know there will be enough to share it with I will also take the bladder out of boxed wine and carry that.
    Alcohol was involved!

    Maker's Mark. Hiking can be tough, so it's nice to have a small luxury after supper. Good bourbon makes for a good evening.
