What is you favorite drink in lounge?

[wingspan]

If alcohol isn't what I'm after (which is most of the time)...apple or orange juice. Or maybe a bit of both

Thank you for reminding me! Mixing juices is another lounge favourite for me - but only when there is grapefruit and orange juice available in the lounge (so this isn't for Australian domestic lounges, sadly) because I'm not a huge fan of apple juice. But give me 1/2 ruby red grapefruit 1/2 orange any day. Add a dash of vanilla and lime juice and I'm in heaven!

Have you tried Tattinger -tastes like donkey piss - marginally better than the yaks piss they serve on CX - Deutz

And here I was thinking you had taste. Veuve is average, at best!

 

[drewbles]

Ewing and I have scaringly similar tastes.

And me too apparently (Hendricks and Bollinger Rosé are my favourite two beverages anywhere).

 

[drewbles]

Vodka with a dash of champagne (French) yum....

Well you can't get Australian Champagne

Make that the three of us

[yohy?!]

Campari and soda is my new beverage of choice, cottoned on to it recently traveling in PE...very tasty and satisfying

Love Taittinger (not donkey piss, whoever said that!!)

I enjoy doing the Champagne challenge at Syd F lounge. Try all the champagnes and keep going around until boarding.

I like a nice hot chocolate myself and the best one yet is the one I got at the AA lounge in SFO.

The MEL and SYD F lounges are pretty good for their hot chocolates and I can always get one in CBR when flying.

Think of it as me doing my civic duty and leaving all of the alcohol for my fellow AFFers.

I don't know if I can be friends with people who drink moët.

"friends don't let friends drink moët!"

At least I think that's how it goes

Just because I wld drink Moet, doesn't mean I do all the time. The Champagne fridge probably has more Dom in it than Moet (maybe 1 bottle of NV).

Yes, I'm fine with Tattinger. Haven't drunk donkey's piss, so can't compare.

Perrier Jouet is too yeasty for my personal preference. But my fave would be Pol Roger. We were most spoiled by our visits to Pol Roger and Tattinger last year, and less spoiled by Mumm and only slightly spoiled by Veuve Clicquot. We walked out of Taittinger with 5 bottles of champagne; 4 NV and 1 vintage (4 adults). At Pol we had lovely samples, including some Sir Winston.

I also really enjyed some local champagne from Verzy, the village where we stayed.

When's the Inaugural Hendricks & Bollie Rosé Party for the four of us then

Hold the rocks! Two straight scotches please

Nahh, needs 2 small ice cubes (frozen spring water, of course) to chill the scotch to the optimum drinking temperature, which would be ambient temperature in Islay, which is way lower than any temp found in Brisbane . Then the melting spring water helps to break the surface tension of the whiskey, releasing the smokey, peaty aromas. Mmmmmm.

Oh yeah, and it always sounds better tinkling in the glass when swirled

Agree about Bris ambient temps...personally I like the cracking sound as the whiskey hits the ice

Dare I ask? On second thoughts best not to ask....

If it's morning, it'll be a barista coffee.
In the afternoon, it'll be a soda water and bitters.

The large ranges of alcohol available for consumption are sadly wasted on me.

Much the same for me really, I'm often sadly wasted on the large range of alcohol available for consumption.
