nah, we all associate our drinks with locations and sensations so don't feel like an outcast. I'm with you on the gin and tonics though I want the best gin I can afford now of days whereas when I was young any gin would do. vodka soda is another good warm weather drink.

Let me recommend a Makers Mark or Woodford Reserve neat with a beer on the side as the perfect winter drink.

I'd be interested to hear Charin's thoughts on this...Charin what was your favorite winter drink back when you were allowed alcohol and what warm feelings does it bring to mind?
