    A pilsner instead of the IPA I normally have, but I like to switch it up once in a while. After a long day of being in charge of keeping alive four kids (plus three visitors from the neighborhood), two cats, and a dog the size of a small horse, the flavor isn’t as important as the fact that I now get to have a beer with my feet up on the table.

    Manly spirits Australian dry gin, fever tree premium light tonic, sliced fresh cucumber. Perfect summertime refresher.

      Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

    I’m drinking a hard cider right now for example, and its thoroughly delicious, one of my favorites. I might have some rosé bubbly wine later too if hubs doesn’t want it, but I gotta wait for him to get home first.

      Was looking through people’s comments and was going to comment hard cider as well, and yours was the final comment! What sort are you drinking?

      Today I had Blake’s Triple Jam, it is pretty good. Cider’s the only alcoholic drink I’ve ever had where almost regardless of the particular cider I don’t need to “get used” to the taste. Most of the time I dislike regular beer and hard liquor is to be tolerated, mixed drinks don’t count, that’s cheating (but delicious)

        I’m doing schilling excelsior tonight, it’s pretty delicious. Plus, there’s a giraffe in a helmet on it, which is adorable. They’re 8.4% though so I gotta be careful with them

    Homemade milk tea. I have matcha toasted rice, golden chai, and rooibos tea bags to choose from. I soak some chia seeds in a half and half mix of almond and coconut milk so they can absorb it and get bigger. This is what I use in place of boba and regular milk. Then I steep a teabag in a cup of hot water, stir in stevia, pour it into the milk onto a large glass jar, then dump a bunch of ice in it. Viola, lactose-free, sugar-free, high fiber milk tea.

    I’ll be off to buy a few drinks in a moment, for the family:

    • me - a “double malt” Pilsner. Plenty people dislike it because it’s rather bitter, but I love it for that very reason.
    • sister - a local Pilsner that has barely any hint of bitterness, she’d rather drink lighter beers.
    • BIL, mum - a sweet stout. It’s locally sold as “Malzbier” but it has higher alcoholic content than Eastern European Malzbiere.
    • nephew - coin toss between apple juice or soda.

    That’ll side some entrevero that I should be getting ready to prepare right now, instead of loafing around in Lemmy.

      Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

        Brazil. The Malzbiere in question are around 4% ABV, by no means “strong” but not children drink either. (For reference the local Pilsner are roughly the same in alcohol content.) But they’re fairly popular among people who like sweeter beers, specially now in winter.

    A pilsner. Locally popular brand called Mortiz. Why? It’s what’s on tap. It’s decent, one of the better industrial pilsners. The night is young and I expect to be drinking more beer tonight.
