I like cider if I will camp near a body of water where I can easily cool it. Mead, rum or beer can be fun too.
If you don't mind a bit more weight, carrying a ginger beer, fresh ginger and vodka for a moscow mule in nature is pretty nice, but that's a dayhike thing.
I do quite like anise based alcohols, but those have to be ice cold, so they are an occasional treat when winter camping, like when you go ice fishing or something. If it snows outside a hot grog usually is nice.
For the most part I don't drink much though, never was a big fan of it. I will drink a few beers if I am with others, but if I am alone, I tend to just stick to water, foraged teas and coffee.
Ouzo is great. I also quite like some absinthe, but I don't usually take that PrepHole with me. Do you take it with you just in winter? I don't usually drink it unless I have some water to at least somewhat cool it or it's winter and I can put it into the snow personally.
Yep, I don't really drink much anymore either, I'm mostly happy to be in nature, I don't really get the urge to be drunk on top of it usually. Don't like room temp drinks though, unless it's cider (and that's better cooled too). I much prefer it either cold, or hot (mulled wine is pretty based and pre-preparing a spice mix makes it easy to cook up over a campfire).

two of these, one with brandy the other with jungle juice mixture of whatever whiskeys I am almost out of. both aged with cigar or pipe smoke I blow in occasionally
Give it a try sometime, it's pretty nice, and from personal experience women tend to like it a lot, so your wife may enjoy it alot as well.
Then again I am german, soI am kind of culturally forced to like mulled wine.
In Finland the "traditional" way of drinking mulled wine is by drinking hot berry juice mixture that you then add spirits of your choice in there. People often like to have jaloviina (popular finnish cut brandy) or koskenkorva (finnish vodka). Real wine based mulled wine is for the finnoswedes and other "better than thou larpers".
>Real wine based mulled wine is for the finnoswedes and other "better than thou larpers".
It's the default in germany - every christmas market will have red wine based mulled wine.
We do have the juice based one too, but it's called kinderpunsch, non alcoholic, and usually reserved for kids or people who can't drink alcohol. That being said, I'd consider giving the finnish version a try. You already mentioned two spirits you can use to mix it, but mind giving me a name I can goolge in finnish for a authentic recipe?
I really like red wine based mulled wine, but I am always open to give everything a try.
Essentially picrel is what we consider as the mulled wine around here. It is a concentrate that you add hot water in to. Then you add the spirits of your choice in to the drink.
a flask of 95% everclear was mentioned here the other day which makes sense to me, since it'll get you hooched up and can start a fire if need be. I've brought small bottles of bourbon previously for weight purposes
Sounds like you are living the dream. If she can't have alcohol, kids sometimes drink mulled "wine" made from fruit tea with apple juice here. You can find german recipes under the name "Kinderpunsch" and translate those.
Then again those often still contain citrus and I have no idea what is and isn't okay during pregnancy. >What cider do you take PrepHole?
I take some from a local brewery - back when I still lived in a smaller village they made some during a festival each year, where the kids helped with pressing the apples and they got some apple juice, while the rest was made into cider.
I find most ciders I get in supermarkets to be decent though, it seems to have far less of a deviation of quality than something like wine or beer has.
Usually you should have two variants, a "sweet" one and a "sour" one. I am partial to the sour ones myself.

Sounds amazing anon, I'm really happy for you. Best wishes for the kid. >I myself am a massive sweet-gay kek.
No shame in that. It's just preference, I'm willing to bet sweet is more popular anyways.
I find little more satisfying than a glass of red wine by the fire with a rolled cigarette. If it's chilly then mulled wine is great, big bonus if you have the spices but I love just straight steamy red on a cold night anyway. I can have the tendency to be pretty boozy and suffer rough hangovers though so I try to limit myself if I have shit to do the next day.
Cheap Islay single malt whisky. I usually get some "Ben Bracken Islay" (Lidl) single malt since it is dirt cheap and available. Everything tastes better when you are PrepHole and the complexity of more expensive whisky is lost when not drinking it at home in the right glass. Drinking peated, smoky whisky when you are by a campfire is super cosy - and weighs less than beer.
always happy to see your gear, fellow shovel poster.
My favorite: Vodka with roasted sunflower seeds, Roasted Bread with garlic and fat bacon also combines well with it.
there are lots of russian stores all over eastern germany, as there is still a sizable russian minority here (as well as lots of boomers, that weep for a nation long gone). Im by no means a socialist and i never witnessed those times, but their alcohol and food tastes good. Their sweets and icecream are very sought after.
Not a Finn, but import valhalla to bring PrepHole in the colder months as it tastes of forest. Summer is cider time though which normally means Thistly Cross for me.

Excellent choice. This year ive been carrying around some of cider and wine made from my apple orchard, its pretty nice by the fire and not too strong to knock you out
>all this euro hooch itt
Actually I'm jelly, I really enjoy trying different regional alcohols. Seems like a lot of different flavors other than "cheap jack daniels impersonator #5173"
As for me, I do enjoy a good bourbon or gin by the campfire. Hard to beat the combination of smoke and bourbon, but the juniper in gin already reminds me of the outdoors. Surprised no one has mentioned it yet

Flask of single malt, add beers if I'm car camping
this, though might mix it up with bourbon, whiskey, or gin
I take kvass and let it ferment on the way. Tastes fine cold or hot

Asspocket flask with bourbon.

i found these foul the taste. or was it just my cheap flask?

Interesting. If I see it in some specialty shop I'll get some and give it a try, thanks anon.
Scotch or Irish whisky.

Well nobody calls it Éire whiskey either.
Flask of scotch or bourbon or a Nalgene bottle of red wine
Is moonshining an PrepHole approved activity?
hope so
Is that even legal in your... State? I'd hate to argue that case anywhere outside of the US, and even then; only in certain "Freedum States".
no it's illegal to even own the equipment unless you can prove you only use it for water
How do I achieve that body type natty?

Mezcal, because Im a Mexican Chad.
I'm surprised more folk don't take mezcal PrepHole. I like that or an Islay single malt.
Jager in a flask with a busch beer that is hopefully slightly cool when I crack it open.
I could imagine warm spiced mead or wine would be a nice treat for winter time

Just a couple of beers/night if I have room.
Once met a guy several hours in that had pushed a wheelbarrow with several 24 packs in it. Bloody legend.
Full 750ml bottle of either whiskey or Vodka.
always happy to see your gear, fellow shovel poster.
My favorite: Vodka with roasted sunflower seeds, Roasted Bread with garlic and fat bacon also combines well with it.
what's with slavs and sunflowers?
not a slav, but i like the.
just try them they are tasty and more healthy than potato chips.

>Odd, huh
they are more subtle than that. The hebrew par is the endless list of preservatives.
Bottle of this stuff and you can kill a bear in your alcohol induced madness.
