Winding down the day...

[AnnaMarie]

The proper way to unwind after a day of experimenting in soap making....hot cocoa and peppermint schnapps!

 

[Seawolfe]

Raises a mug of Egyptian licorice mint tea with a splash of rum

 

[CaraBou]

Cheers! (rhubarb infused vodka in lemonaid)

 

[AnnaMarie]

You know, I see a good thread coming out of this! Favorite unwind drinks :-D

 

[Dennis]

Chocolate milk.

I know, I know. But it works.

 

[Pepsi Girl]

Always a diet Pepsi!

 

[Derpina Bubbles]

AnnaMarie that looks seriously delicious. Some tasty sounding beverages there and I'm jelly. Pepsi Girl, I was like whoooaaa, totally blindsided with the diet Pepsi. Figured you for a coke fan.

I have water . It's tank water too. Not sure how the water filter is anymore. Think it's due. Might be water with a twist of bird poop. Trade some water for some hot cocoa and peppermint schnapps?

 

[AnnaMarie]

Mmmmm....tank water with a twist of bird poop. Gee, it's hard to turn that down :sick::sick: I think I'll stick with cocoa and schnapps, but I'd love to share with you Derpina :smile:

Water for me too, though I do have a bit of Arizona Green Tea left from earlier. I really hate the tap water here. But I always forget to buy bottled when at the store. At home my roommate and I share these giant 5 gallon bottles that get refilled with reverse osmosis water.

 

[AnnaMarie]

Tonight it is Good Earth tea for me (no spirits)

At our house it would be grass bugs in the water not only do they flavor the water they add a delightful crunchiness to it as well

PS coke:thumbdown:

Just think of the free protein! My dogs crunch on Christmas beetles in the back yard every summer. Sounds like their eating a packet of chips. Really creates a relaxing atmosphere.

*PS I'm a Pepsi drinker too (when I'm not drinking bird poop infused water).

 

[Dennis]

Much prefer Pepsi although I have to admit MCDonald's definitely has good cokes.
Hmm, maybe a poll, coke or pepsi?

Oh man, that actually took me a minute hahaha.

Eww, down on both coke and pepsi. I can't drink cola, never could its always made me sick. I used to love Dr Pepper. I rarely drink soda though, and these days if I do it seems to be AW root beer.

 

[FlybyStardancer]

Diet Dr Pepper is my poison of choice. It used to be Dr Pepper, but then I started drinking the diet when I was on a diet in high school with one can of regular as treat... But then I stopped drinking the the regular for financial reasons when I was in college, and after a few months of diet only, I couldn't stand the taste of HFCS in US sodas. Now I'll have sodas made with cane sugar on rare occasions, but I can always taste it if I'm handed a regular soda instead of diet.

I wish I could kick the diet soda habit, but I just don't have anything calorie-free to really replace it. (And yes, I've tried nearly everything. Not looking for suggestions. lol)

But as far as a yummy drink to unwind with... Hot chocolate, baby. lol I have my own mix that I use. And if I have some homemade marshmallows, even better!

 

[jules92207]

I am going to be a rebel here and say I am a Coke Zero drinker, but not to wind down. I would much rather have the hot cocoa with schnapps, mint extract or marshmallows...but my real weakness is coffee. Give me coffee morning, noon and night.

 

[AnnaMarie]

Coffee rocks Jules! Peet's brand is my favorite- but not to unwind

A minneola mojito! we must have around a thousand pounds of them...

That looks fabulous! I love mojitos! I don't suppose you'd share the recipe pretty please???

Pick 6 fresh mint leaves, put 1 tsp granulated sugar (I used coconut sugar) and crush the leaves and sugar together. This will release the spearmint oils. Cut a piece of minneola rind and twist to release the citrus essential oil. Add juice of 4 minneolas, 1 1/2 oz rum of choice, and some ice cubes. Enjoy!
