Later in the evening, I enjoy a JD, straight on Ice.
That's my usual at the end of the evening go to.
A American Honey is a nice drop around a camp fire,
Tonight Fysh and I tried American Honey, Sting, on ice.
Hmm
Yep,
Might be something to take next camp trip.
Oh, I've also got the Standard Squeeze, instead of glass bottles .
They are a winning.
Anyway, just throwing it out there to what you do.
Cheers
Safe Travels.

Usually have a bottle of Jamesons for sipping purposes, while Leafz has one of Dubliner, & also a 2l cask of port.
If we've gone away with others, then possibly beer.
:cheers:

We can get to the Lawrence Tavern now, Water has gone down enough.
So Friday dinner there, not that we do it every Friday arvo, maybe once a month.
They have on tap Coopers Low Carb, which I've tried at the Copmanhurst Pub, and the Park Hotel at Byron.
I enjoyed it.
Enjoy your weekend.

SWMBO has white wine usually and/or a variety of premixes and the odd Dubliner or three.
Soon off to Denham for 10 weeks of fishing, socialising and the above.

Can’t get too affected by alcohol till all the work is done. ;D
Then around the fire a scotch whiskey of some brand. Port is ok too. It’s cheaper but you drink it twice as fast :D
Cheers

Camping was the biggest challenge - what do you drink sitting around the fire/campsite? Not fussed on soft drink these days.
Only good zero beer is the Guinness 0.0 - most of the rest are pretty awful. There are a few others that are tolerable.
So during that time, the preferred evening tipple was Guinness 0.0 or a hop water called HOPR. A couple other interesting non alc drinks I don't mind are Elixir & Dayse.
Still mostly off it, but do have the occasional drink now & then.
Kraken straight on ice is the rum of choice.
Preferred beer is some sort of pale ale eg 50 lashes.
Wine of choice would be any Pino Noir

I just take my home brew beer, normally Coopers.

Also started using some 4ltr oxebar mini kegs which fit in 50ltr waeco and i have a mini co2 reg with sodastream bottle.

That bloody "Dubliner" is 1 of the most dangerous drinks I have ever had
I know what you mean!
A mate bought me a bottle for my 50th - it didn't last long! ;D
For any of you that haven't tried it, imagine drinking a Violet Crumble bar ;D

We take about 4/5 different mixes, can't taste any different, that we've noticed.

I bought some 2.5l bottles, not from this seller but the same bottle.https://kegland.com.au/products/kegland-amber-pet-bottles-2-5l-pack-of-9-with-screw-caps (https://kegland.com.au/products/kegland-amber-pet-bottles-2-5l-pack-of-9-with-screw-caps)
I use the 750ml coopers PET bottles for my keg overflow and the 4/8ltr oxebars from Kegland.
I also have a big stubby holder for a 19 ltr Cornelius keg.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250315/c22aecb44ca39fa822e332fbcd608242.jpg)
