Pairing cigars and a beverage... with a twist.

[shopkins82]

Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, and Gingerale are my favorites. As far as Root Beer goes, I usually like something with a bit of bite in general, but I'm actually finding a creamier Root Beer with more vanilla goes better when smoking.

On the alcoholic front, I had a very pleasing smoke with a strange drink just the other night. A friend of mine received a bottle of Three Olive Loopey (fruit-loop flavored Vodka) as a gift, so we started experimenting and came up with the "Dirty Tucan", "Fruity Russian", or some other made up name consisting of the Loopey vodka, creme de minth (the only non-coffee cream liquor we had), and half-and-half with a few fruit loops on top to garnish... it was like Saturday Morning cartoons with booze! Also, strangely, a nice compliment to the Factory Throwout No. 59 Sweets we were smoking that night.
