[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

a mix between egirl bath water and egirl piss. bonus points for a splash of egirl spit.

🤤

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Water for sure #1

Cafe con leche favorite caffeine drink. Diet coke distant second, but I like it.

Cocktails, tie between margarita and paper plane I think.

Wine? A dry Sauvignon Blanc.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Mocha. The tropical belt's kissing cousins are absolutely delightful in a hot milk bath.

Although, I wouldn't turn down an eggnog mocha if offered.

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Canned Barqs root beer (the can part is important, it affects the flavor) for non-alcoholic, Woodchuck Amber for alcohol. Hopefully obviously I do drink plenty of water though, I just don't go out of my way to drink extra.

[–] msokiovt@lemmy.today 3 points 18 hours ago

I have two: water and green tea. That's it, nothing else.

Sometimes, though, I drink coffee, but it's unlikely I'll do that (one mug of coffee or green tea is enough for me).

[–] kubofhromoslav@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Water most of the time. Even when I was a kid I refused sodas quite early. I am sorry for many children that are socially force-fed soda by hijacking their ancient instincts using marketing and weak regulation and enabled by short term thinking parents, who are themselve socially programmed for that 😥 It is a vicious circle that is hard to escape on societal level...

And also oat milk.

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

Plain water +lime & salt, flavored electrolytes, beer.

Agreed. Hate when they ruin it by watering it down and adding sugar, though, cause it lowers the amount of potassium you get (and ruins the taste). Gotta check the label carefully when buying cause I've been fooled by shitty coconut water more than once.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

Tea. Specifically, what's known in other parts of the world as "English Breakfast (Black) Tea". Because I'm British and grew up with it.

Although I vary quite a bit from average. Mine's usually decaffeinated with sweetener and soy milk for health reasons.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 22 hours ago

Orange juice
I'm allergic to it, but it's an allergy I developed as an adult. As a kid I loved it, and I miss it so much.

Also Clearly Canadian blackberry flavour.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago

Water usually, but coffee is #2 and sometimes I'll drink tea, wine, V8, or beer. Mimosas and bloody Marys can really hit spot sometimes and smoothies get an honorable mention as well.

By order of preference:

  • water
  • lemonade, iced, sweetned, with a mint leaf
  • iced tea, home made
  • ginger ale, again, home made

(stay with me, people, I'm just that annoying)

  • ginger beer, non-alcoholic, again, home made
  • a store brand energy drink and that drink alone; other drinks taste like disappointment and industrial solvents
  • sparkling water, chilled, but only if Pedras Salgadas; it's slightly bitter and acidic
  • gin & tonic, in a chilled glass, for a late afternoon drink
  • moscaranja, a mixed drink with Moscatel wine and fresh orange juice, high ball glass, with ice
  • Pisang Ambon and orange juice, with ice, same presentation as above
  • sangria, and this implies red wine, not champagne, sparkling wine, rosé, etc. Just a nice strong red wine, poured over fresh fruit, a bit of orange juice, sugar and a bit of sparkling water. With ice.
  • chilled white wine. No ice. Watered wine tastes like dish water and sadness.
  • coke, over ice, with a slice of lemon
  • beer, if nothing else available and I'm walking home
[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 23 hours ago

I love infused ginger. It's new to me, I didn't even know about ginger for the longest time

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Brawndo. It mutilates my thirst and, as a bonus, it’s got what plants crave.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Chai latte. With or without espresso, depending.

[–] blackroses97@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago
[–] TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Caffeine - Coffee and Tea.

Alcohol - Bourbon and Tequila

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Distilled water. That tang. I'm told it's stripping my body of minerals but 1) I don't really believe it and 2) I really don't care, it's fucking delicious.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 3 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Not sure if this is real, but just to be clear, it is totally stripping your body of all ions, including the electrolytes that your nerves need to keep your lungs and heart functioning.

Small amounts will be fine, especially if you don't hold your pee, but it can absolutely kill you. Read up on water intoxication if you want to know more.

Coconut water

[–] HowlsSophie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Sparkling water. Liquid Death has a cola flavor that's satisfying in that area without the sugar or caffeine.

Also regular water.

Unsweetened ice tea. It's water with flavor and no calories aka guilt.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jamaica with vanilla cream.

I brew hibiscus flowers and chill it, then I add vanilla coffee creamer.

Smooth and tasty, but it's acidic, so yo gotta drink it promptly. It can get weird if you add cream and leave it in the fridge.🤢

Sometimes I add vodka.

Sparkling topo Chico is the best sparkling water hands down

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Water water water all day every day & nothing else appeals to me & nothing else will satisfy me.

Kefir is great for complaints from the stomach. And great in general.

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Old-fashioned or a Gimlet depending on company/mood

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Man I love a gimlet.
