what do you drink when on holiday?

I apologise if this is in the wrong place, I nearly put it in the bars/acts thread but thought that it didn't really fit in there.

I'm a lager man but can't understand the obsession with san miguel!

I don't really like it!

I'd rather have one of the other, usually cheaper, spanish lagers!
Estrella pils or campo (whatever). Especially at 1 euro a pint

my partner drinks local tia maria and coke, we can't find a local equivalent to jd.

edit: it's not my spelling but, for some reason, it won't type double l's

Try San Miguel 1516 for a drier, crisper taste. Cruzcampo is good on draught as is Mahou.

Ice cold bottles of San Miguel for me , i find the Estrella and the Mahou (green) not gassy enough and the Mahou (red) too strong.

Re: what do you drink when on holiday?

I always find I can drink local beer fine in Spain for about 3 days, then I stuggle from then on..

Mythos in Rhodes last year was great :cheers

If only they brewed Smooth Bitter on license at the local brewary!

When I go in August I might end up on the imports (and out of pocket)

-Although I'll give the Sam Miguel 1516 a try - it'd be rude not to

I cant understand all the Brits who go abroad and pay over the top for Carling when there are nicer local beers at half the price.

When in Spain I drink the local lager I like Cruzcampo and Mahou.
When in Greece Mythos and Macadonicos white wine
In the Canaries the local CCC who use to do a bottled lager called Volcan which I cant find anymore.
In Portugal Sagres and Superbock and Joao Perez white wine

Re: what do you drink when on holiday?

I drink anything I can lay my hands on :rofl

I drink lager mostly and love San Miguel but will drink whatever lagers on offer really. Before I go out in the evening I like to have some white wine in the apartment(less than a euro a bottle at Mercadona) and I may have one or two vodkas with lemonade.

Re: what do you drink when on holiday?

Anything that is a reasonable priced I won`t pay 5-8 euros a drink.

Coffee and brandy in winter during the day or vina rosada if it`s lovely and sunny. La mumba`s now and again.

Summer time a cool larger now and again. Vina blanca if it`s chilled well, vina tinto if I can`t get it chilled or if I have to share a bottle with the oh.

A weak gin and tonic sometimes.

Or anything that any of you want to buy me if I bump into you in Benidorm :rofl

Re: what do you drink when on holiday?

Mmmm where do I start, well usually with a lager followed by wine with a meal then it depends what mood I am in but normally either JD and diet coke or Bacardi and diet coke or vodka and diet coke or G&T or if I'm all inclusive then I'm quite partial to a local brandy and baileys or Tia maria and baileys or perhaps a peach schnapps............ or whatever is on the A/I shelf :tup

Re: what do you drink when on holiday?

Cor, Sue - your'e not fussy are you? Neither am I!
I do like a 'treat' of a cocktail made in a fresh pineapple but just the one!
My Hubby loves red wine and his treat is a pint of Guiness.
When we go all inclusive, I love their Irish/French coffee, Bacardi and Coke, Martini and Lemonade -
I could go on better stop now or you will think I am a boozer!!!!!!!!!

Re: what do you drink when on holiday?

At lunch time I have either Sangria or Gin & Lemon
During the evenings I like lots of variations (but not all on the same night!!) a Brandy & Ginger,
a cold Lumumba, Cointreau & Orange Juice or a Anisette with water.
For a night cap I enjoy Baileys, Amaretto or Liquor 43.
My husband drinks any of the local draught lagers.
