These are pretty random! Aren't Ron, Harry and the twins far too insecure in their masculinity to drink such girly drinks?

I think Harry would drink gin and tonic or vodka tonic, 'cause they seem manly enough, but after growing up deprived they wouldn't make him gag.

Ron would drink pints of Northern stout of some sort, 'cause it's cheap and good and that's what he can afford.

The twins would drink several of the latest in drinks, preferably brands started by young wizarding celebrities, since they're all about nuveau these days.

Hermione, methinks, would be daintier. She's probably a bit scared of the way alcohol makes her feel. Plus she's muggle born. She might drink the Schmirnoff Ice or maybe French Matinis, light on the liquor ktnxbye! sort of thing.

Lucius would want something more obscure, more rare, and much less muggle. Perhaps dew from faerie bells or the coalesced mist from the cloak of the Northern King.

Mundungus would drink something much cheaper and stinkier...maybe Jaegermeister.

Thems be my thoughts!

Hahaha, we weren't really being serious about this. This was kind of a melding of two ideas: the drinks, while being the ones we thought the characters would drink, also refer to what the characters would be if they WERE alcoholic drinks. To us, Ron is a little too scared of everything and would want something softer and sweeter. Fire thinks Hermione is really closet alcoholic waiting to come out of her shell, and Lucius struck us as a Scotch lover, hiding it in fear but secrtely drinking it every day. And the twins... Party freaks, but not apt to drink themselves into a state where they couldn't play pranks on everyone in sight. Actually, I see them spiking the punch. ^_~

As for Mundungus, all I could think for his drink was "fruity". and I hate Marnier.

Haha, it's so great to see everyone's opinions on this. *chuckles*

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

Fruity! Hahaha!

[fireelemental79.livejournal.com]

You have thought about this, I would are say, perhaps too much. Too too much. Not that that is a problem, per say. I'm really just making an observation here.

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Perhaps. But then, isn't that why we're all here. On a more serious note, I have had characters drink in my fics and I try to come up with things worthy of a Malfoy (magic or Muggle) for Draco and Lucius. I don't really think I've ever written non-Malfoys drinking save, perhaps, for Harry drinking with a Malfoy.

[fireelemental79.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess you have good reason to think real hard about what they'd drink. And what's wrong with Scotch? :-D

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

There is not a single thing, to my knowledge, that is wrong with Scotch. It is, after all, the water of life. But aside from Lucius' lack of Muggle knowledge, Glen Morangie, as tasty as it may be, might be a touch too broadly selling for Lucius. Maybe Bowemore or one of the lesser know Islay's, Glen Goyne, if he has family ties to the Queen, Auchincloss for those who like the purity of the old ways...Of course, there are whiskey's far rarer, and I suspect the most rare, by cask strength, age, lack of wide spread knowledgem out right rarity, etc. would be the most appealing to a man as sophisticated, wealthy and haughty as Lucius.

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

My God, Tip, how much Scotch do you DRINK?? ^_~

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

Ah...yes, it must've seemed that way. I don't actually drink that much Scotch. I go through one-person fads. Whiskeys by the barrel full, desert wines, fortified wines, all cocktails - white liquors only, and then all over again...that sort of thing. Me da' is really the whiskey drinker. He must have dozens or more. Keeps 'im young, yeah?

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Well, if that comment makes you look like a Scoth-a-holic, then this list makes Fire and me look like... well.

Anyway.

*snicker* Yeah, I actually don't like alcohol all that much. If the drink can cover the taste, then I'm all for it: mudslides, baileys, schnapps, etc.

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

Woah...careful there, Girl! You'll hurt your stomach. Or your taste buds. Or something.

Here are some sweet drinks that hide their kick:
Lychee Martini
Fruit Flavoured Margaritas (this requires a decent Mexican place with a good bartender, and for flavour think passion fruit, prickly pear, that sort of thing)
French Martini (Chambord, Pineapple juice and vodka)
Cosmopolitan
Apple Martini (red or green)
Pomegranite Martini
etc.

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the suggestions! Fruity martinis... those sound great. I'm not fond of martinis as they are, so adding some sweetness would be lovely. ^_^

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your experimentations. If you don't like the taste of alcohol, I would stick with vodka for your mixer. But things like frangelico, amoretto and the like would work well added to tea, coffee, cocoa, etc. on chilly evenings.

[fireelemental79.livejournal.com]

Cool. Thanks for the tip. It's good to talk to people who know stuff about booze :-D.

*bows pretentiously with an overwrought twirl of hands and hat*

At your service, Madame!
