Agree with the red wine.

Whisky isn't too bad warm either. Brandy is definitly better at room temp.

I agree with Joolz - Red wine is best served chilled.
Vodka and Coke (keep cans of coke as cool as you can by standing in cold water in the sink)!!!!!

lager ?


Ooops - I misread the original post, thought you had a fridge but just no ice. Clearly lager is NOT an option :(

If it was me Helen, I would ask for a glass of ice from the bar and take it back to the room. :hot

I can stand the lager in a sink full of cold water :tup I do like red wine, but I had thought of a bottle or 2 of spirits to last me the whole fortnight on the balcony. If I have red wine I'll need to buy around 8 bottles in duty free :rofl I don't want to arrive looking like this :tongue Caz I did think of that, but I really wanted it while I was dressing to go out for the evening or after arriving home at night - sounds like I've got a bit of a problem doesn't it :D hubby just said he could go to the bar& buy a glass of lemonade or coke and I could just add the spirit, but the soft drinks are normally as expensive as the spirit aren't they?

Hi Helen,why not get a neoprene bottle or can cooler,take it with you then get a bottle or can of cold mixer to go with your favourite tipple,these coolers can be found on ebay just type in what you'd prefer.They will probably keep your drink cold for an hour or two.T.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. There's a few there for me to think about. Might have a look at those coolers.

Helen,you could even just get a coolbag from Asda or one of the supermarkets,that would keep cans or bottles cool for a little while,you could even ask the hotel to freeze cool blocks for you.T.

When we were in Italy we just filled the sink with cold water and bought a bag of (if a shop is close to the hotel) and put all our drinks in there.
