Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Soft drink of choice???

Wow. Never heard of it.

I've been a Coca Cola fan all my life. I like an occasional Sprite or 7 UP. I went through a Diet Coke phase for about 25 years but had to have a twist of lime with it. But couldn't mix it with alcohol very well. It sucked. But Coke Zero with Black Jack, Weller, George Dickle white label goes great. Pepsi Sucks big ones especially the diet. Yankees drink Pepsi because they haven't been edumacated properly.

Now to clarify, I started off drinking Sour Mash and Coke back in the late 60s. But later graduated to drinking my whiskey with water. My son inlaw's grandpa out at Olivia TX had a well (Ain't no City Water in Olivia TX) that had the best whiskey water on the planet. I would fill a glass with ice and fill it half full of Jack Black then dribble a little of that water on top. If I wasn't out at Bob Vickery's listening to my Son inlaw and his buddies play Blue Grass I just bought some Evian water. But lately I've reverted back to drinking whiskey with Coke but it's now Coke Zero.

BTW, anybody here from around Denver Co.? My son in law is in a blue grass band from there called High Plains Tradition. He's the fiddler. No, he's not from there but was a cop there and met the band and they loved his fiddle playing. He's been with them about 16 years and flies to wherever they're playing. He's a great fiddle player.
OK thread hi jack over.
Oh wait, I forgot to say I do love a gin and tonic on a hot day. I drink mostly Sourmash or sometimes I like wheated bourbon. But I do like a shot of good scotch now and then. And it doesn't have to be single malt. I love Johnny Walker Black but the smoothest Whiskey I've ever had was Glen Fiddich 12 year old. It goes down like water.

I think I've seen it. I think it might go good with a couple shots of vodka. Did I forget to mention I like a shot or two of that now and then too.

Sometime in the late 70's they dropped the regular chocolate flavor then in the middle 80's dropped the Diet version.

I've been in mourning since.

I remember those. Nasty. 🤮

My favorite used to be Upper 10.

Another favorite from my idyllic youth. Only available in Kommiefornia for a short time.

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go FAYGO!!! Orange would be my flavor of choice.

RC Cola /Royal Crown Cola-----I haven't seen or heard of that stuff in years.
My grandpa used to work in a filling station here in town after he sold the ranch. The filling station was on the main highway before the interstate and He told me that every "darkie" that ever came in the station asked for Royal Crown Cola. In those days he would only see a couple of them "darkies" a month.

I have heard of that but I would have skipped it for a good ol bottle of Nehi Orange pop.

Sadly, Dublin Dr Pepper is no longer made. Dr Pepper sued them and won. Now they make a knockoff version there but it’s not the same. And Dr Pepper’s cane sugar version is not as good as the old Dublin,TX made stuff.

Yep. Switched on to Bundaberg when we lived outside Brisbane Oz and you could not find it in the States. Their root beer is killer too.

I will only drink a 7up when sick. Last one was about seven years ago. Water only for me.

I picked up a 2 liter bottle of Squirt today. Really outstanding.

Try it after doing some hot outdoor work. Tastes twice as good.

Same with Jarritos Grapefruit.

Verners gingeraile

I like all the ghetto sodas.
Strawberry, grape, orange.......all good.

Squirt is good stuff. Occasionally crave a cold coke. Good ginger ale is tasty.

I’m good for maybe one a week. Probably shouldn’t even drink it that often. Schit is turrable for ya.

How many sody pop drinkers got the beetus?

I seldom drink any pop. My weapon of choice is unsweetened ice tea or just water. If I do splurge on a pop, which is rare, it's usually diet Mtn. Dew.

I have been drinking flavored seltzer instead of soda.
