I'm partial to dry whites.
Although I do like a decent port after a good meal. But I'm probably being pretentious now.

I do love a good port.

Scotch is mostly water anyways, a few drops aren't gonna hurt.

I don't drink much scotch any more. But when I want a bit of irish whiskey, I want the stones instead of ice. Watered down whiskey tastes nasty.

I'm not much of a whiskey fan in general (though I enjoy them on occasion). Right now I'm having a love affair with gin. THAT is the true nectar of the gods and probably the only thing the brits did right other than beer and boxer primers.
When I am down in the states, on a hot summer night, there is nothing more refreshing to me then a gin and tonic with a twist of lime!

My personal favorite night cap is gin and cranberry with lime. Hendricks Gin especially.

You're barking. Champagne is second only to coffee as the nectar of the gods.
Many moons ago, when I had just left university I went backpacking around Europe and spent a couple of weeks picking grapes aka faire les vendange. On our way back to Blighty we stopped off at Epernay to see if we could get some more work picking grapes for champagne. Unfortunately all the jobs had been taken, can't say I was that bothered though.

Before Xmas I was out with my youngest son pub crawling around Lancaster university during Fresher's Week. Anyway we decided to go into town and in one of the bars they were serving drinks with liquid nitrogen in it. A few days later it was in the national news that some poor young woman had to be rushed to hospital to have her stomach removed.

Actually a splash of water or an ice cube or two will help open up the flavors of a good whisky or scotch.

Sighhh...another neat fanatic. A splash of water or a little ice will volatilize some of the aromatics contained in a whisky or scotch and actually enhances the flavor and aroma at the time of drinking. Don't believe me? Try the Pepsi challenge. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend ice made from rural well water that's harder than Dixies head. That would certainly disflavor the drink.

Very refreshing indeed. Gin is a drink where ice is mandatory to volitilize the botanicals and bring out its full flavors. I also think mint julips and mojitos are very refreshing summer time drinks. I also find unfiltered kellerbiers, like Sam Adams Alpine Spring or CBC's Summer Teeth to be very refreshing and quite tasty too. (there actually quite nutritious too. Lots of vitamins in traditional kellerbiers.). Though I doubt a serious hop head would like it.

What flavours? It's fucking gin!
I do like the Alpine Spring, though.

A gin & tonic is as close to a perfect 'hot weather' drink as I need. When I worked in FL they were a staple in my beverage diet.
