Earlier this year I had a Captain & Coke at a friend's house, and it tasted like a cream soda. Hard to knock the rum.

A nice Cabernet Sauvignon

@Seedy is correct in his seasonal approach.

Spring/summer for me would be wine, gin, rum, tequila, beer.

Fall/winter would be wine, scotch, bourbon, beer.

I’m usually a beer guy, but can’t argue with Layla…I’m a fan of the Captain. In fact, a little Captain, Dr. Pepper, and a twist of lime is a favorite. Also been known to make some mean Rum Runners with it as well.

Never knew the name, but have partaken! A little Tallahassee Liquor Store Trivia for you…there was a Fred’s Liquors on, I think, Ocala maybe, that would mix you a container of a specific cocktail at the drive-thru to take with you to your party destination. Did this a couple of times, got them to mix a bottle of Kamikazes, never stopped to think whether or not it was legal. It was cheaper and easier than buying all the makings and taking them with you. Ahhh, the 80’s!

Mike's Beer Barn sounds familiar. Was that Tally and TN Street or was that Gainesville on Archer?

Mike’s was indeed Tennessee St in Tally. You’re probably thinking of Pablo’s Tunnel on Archer in Gainesville. First trip through Pablo’s was in the back of a pickup! Wasn’t the last time, either.

Bourbon, red wine, beer, vodka, champagne, rum, gin.

I'm not too fussy about favorites because I like them all in their own way and mix it up depending on the season (rum or sparkling more during the summer months when it's hotter; bourbon or red wine when its cooler out, etc.).

If I’m not mistaken- Fred’s was on Tennessee St, sort of tucked behind/near the Whataburger that was on the corner of Tennessee and Ocala. They had the “Fred’s Back Door Lounge” and one of the well known drinks were the Flight Fuels.

Maybe 2 or 3 Fred’s as I’m recalling and now that I’m thinking, the one I’m trying to remember was maybe off of Tharpe. Hit the one by Whataburger on occasion and recall the “Flight Fuels!” Remember the “Back Door” and maybe Fred’s “Dry Dock.”
