Having some rum before I go get groceries and face the annoying public...
Ok, ok...one martini before I go . My rubber ducky says that it'll help 
A medium roast Kona coffee. Paired with home made cinnamon rolls.
Got a hankering for vodka which I hadn't drank in about a decade.So, picked up a Polish vodka for the first time, Sobieski. Online review claimed it to be the best quality/taste vodka among less expensive brands, (premium quality for much less money) and the top selling vodka in Poland. Distilled from rye. Don't know how popular it is in Poland but it's a wonderfully smooth, tasty vodka. Would buy again.
Warning: Consuming alcohol greatly enables PAD and enhances the experience. 
Plantation Barbados 5 year old rum, rocks, squeeze of lemon.
Just finished drinking a big bowl of vanilla almond milk left over from my Honey Nut Cheerios. My God, it was delicious.
The other day I was helping some friends with the cocktail menu for their annual Halloween party - they don't do mixed drinks usually.
This conversation was held over a glass of one such suggestion, the Hanky Panky.
Yes, it isn't a very Halloween-y name, given it's something the older members of this forum had chaperones to prevent.
But before it meant THAT, "hanky panky" was slang for "magic" which is definitely Halloween-y.
Basically a 2:1 of gin and red vermouth, plus a teaspoon or two of Fernet Branca.
Fernet tastes more or less the way Vick's smells, and if that doesn't sound magical and spooky, to you...

Polishing off the Black Bush. I'm sure some members already noticed by my posts. Not that I'm drunk, I'm feeling constitutional.
I do my best to consume a fair amount of H2O daily and avoid sugared drinks of all kinds.
But I enjoy a different class of beverages in the evening.
When it's warm I enjoy my own take on a margarita. When it's cooler, Scotch is preferred.
Right now I tend to keep on hand Aberfeldy & Laphroig, with others now and again for variety.
As for other unique drinks, I make some healthy / holistic /medicinal teas. I grow Tulsi(holy basil) in my garden and harvest and process it annually so I've lots on hand. It has a long history of healthy benefits.
I also harvested milk thistle flower pods this year that I make a tea out of regularly. It happens to be good for the liver...
Sort of balance things out.
