Making our own beer was a great idea
Siphoning a few pints into a bottle to mature with a scotch bonnet chilli...well, I liked it, but my flatmate is still sceptical. Still wouldn't call it a disaster, though. Must try harder.

O_O
I do enjoy a bit of chilli, but I wouldn't necessarily try and drink one.

I think it's one of those drinks
that you crack open after you've already had a few - as long as you've had something to numb your senses (mainly taste, smell and common).

I feel as though I have a challenge ahead of me - this one, we made with just a scotch bonnet, but I was given a bottle of ale made by some proper brewers which contains naga bih jolokia. "Black Death," they call it. I don't know whether I should be afraid.

Be VERY afraid.
Oh, and alcoholic drinks that work but shouldn't: gin and ginger beer, Long Island Iced Tea.

Why does the latter not taste alcoholic? It's mad!

I love long island iced tea
it's my favourite cocktail after the Screaming Blue Motherfucker

Gin slings are lovely.
I've not had cocktails in a while.

What's in it?
anything that gets me fucked is good.

vodka, gin, triple sec, blue curacao and ice

I'm on that shit
we have the blue curacao, for Green Creatures.

Vodka, orange juice, blue curacao, Smirnoff Ice for mixer.

that sounds nice
if you don't have triple sec btw, just use twice as much blue curacao
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 18 May 2010, 11:41, Reply)

Mojitos, Long Island Iced Tea
anything that doesn't taste alcoholic (and preferably has mint in it.)

Alcohol that shouldn't work but does: Brandy Alexanders, Baileys and vodka
Alcohol that should work but doesn't: whisky and soda. Disgusting

Gin and ginger beer?
You are joking, aren't you? Well, I shouldn't knock it 'til I've tried it.

Mind you, I do know someone who orders Tia Maria and Orange Juice when we go to the pub...apparently on the grounds that "it tastes like chocolate orange."

It's incredible. Seriously incredible.
Gin and coke...not so great.

gin and orange is nice
I'll give gin and ginger beer a go. I was disappointed by rum and ginger beer. something with a quality name such as Dark and Stormy should taste better.

I was quite fucked when I first had it
but on later samplings it's not too bad at all.

only had it once
drunken night of going through the dusty bottles in the college bar, drinking everything that obviously hadn't been touched in years. Ended up with about £1.50, asked if I could get 2 drinks for that and got given rum and gingerbeer

Gin and Red Bull is surprisingly good
