Suppose You're On A Desert Island....Just For Fun

Some heavy threads here lately, which are important discussion, but sometimes we need some fun.

This question was posed on a podcast I was listening to this morning (Food News).

“You’re on a desert island. There is fresh water available to drink. Each of your fingers (5) on one hand can dispense a beverage for you at any time. What 5 beverages do you choose?”

Just about anything you can drink in a glass counts that is in liquid form and not “chunky” (so not vegetable soup". Alcohol counts. Hot or cold counts. I’ll make up more rules as we go along, lol. :blush:

What 5 beverages do you choose?

I’m actually not much of a beverage person. 95% + of what I drink is faucet water or brewed coffee w/ add ins.

But, my 5:
Hot coffee
Cold matcha
Tomato juice (need something savory!!)
Arnold Palmer (cold ice tea + lemonade)
Fresh squeezed pineapple/mango juice

Spindrift blood orange sparkling water
Hot Early Grey tea
Chardonnay
Pinot Noir
Single Malt Scotch

Water is a freebie - unless you require Perrier or something! :slight_smile:

Oops missed that…I’m going back to edit…

Mostly water here too, but:
Ice tea
Chocolate milk
Lemonade
Orange Koolaid
2% milk

I sound like a kid…

Another savory option would be broth or maybe a greens smoothie

Bourbon
Gin*
Rum
Coffee (decaf w/half-n-half)
Malted milkshakes

If I’m on a desert island, cocktails would be the order of the day. There must be some paper umbrellas on this island somewhere…

*Nix this one if no ice or olives.

No strong feelings about a 5th drink. Maybe some flavor of tea.

That’s it.

Sauvignon blanc

I’ve never had Spindrift! Seems like a popular beverage!

Listen, I’m assuming my coffee is coming out of finger faucet just the way I like it - coffee/dairy/splash of maple syrup. I counted that as one. I mean, we’re dreaming anyway! :slight_smile:
