I'll butt in here. Ol' Cappy Morg's is great, but that's spiced rum (my preference). If you want to push the boat out on the spiced, then look no further than Sailor Jerry's.

Im used to Capt Morgan, or a mate once had a load of "Myers" (I think) which was great.

Still, more of a scotch man myself...

I can take or leave Scotch, I prefer Irish Whiskey. Call me a poof, but Pimms with Gin and lemonade is great too, although not entirely related

Beer is my first and strongest love though

Depends on the beer.

I do have an odd desire for Framboise right now though...

Yeah. I just dont get peoples belief that you can improve on a decent drink by adding coke. If you don't like the taste, just drink coke (maybe with vodka if you want to get drunk). Its cheaper

Then just drink the coke. I swear I nearly killed a man once for mixing Johnny Walker (Black label no less) with coke. My gods man. I'll buy you some bells if you just PUT THE BOTTLE DOWN.

But why would I drink just Coke? TBH, it's one of the most mediocre pops out there. I wanted to drink just pop, I would drink Cream Soda, Root Beer, or Vanilla Coke. And since Vodka's flavorless, it gives it a bit of 'pop', but no extra taste. Hence Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum.
On the other hand, maybe I oughta try mixing it with Absolut Vanilla *strokes beard*

Most of those dont really exist here. Not a big pop fan myself either. If I want something that tastes good, I go for a decent ale or scotch. I don't think about 'mixing' either of them, I'd rather have the drink in the manner intended.

I'll assume you never drink any beer mixtures either, then
I would have never thought of mixing beer with any other beverage prior to going to Germany, but there I discovered 2 particularly tasty mixtures, both using Weißbier (wheat beer): Colaweizen and Bananenweizen. One of my German soccer-playing friends practically swears by a Colaweizen after practice (about 2/3 beer, 1/3 Coke), and another friend of mine has the nickname "Bananenpapst" (Banana Pope) because of his love of Bananenweizen, a mixture of wheat beer and banana juice/nectar (roughly 3 parts beer, 1 part banana juice).

That reminds me of Raddler's (Ratler? Radler?)...beer and 7up. Or, beer and lemon.
I had them in germany and they were SO good.

You see, the better way of doing that is brewing the beer with fruit, as in Framboise or Well's and Young's Banana Bread Beer. Not mixing it afterwards

Radler Typically that's beer and lemon. Not my favorite, seeing as citrus fruits aren't my favorite. I do like the Mixery Iced Lemon and Vodka, though.

I'm of the exact opposite opinion--if I want my beer to taste like anything other than beer, I'll mix it myself, thank you very much.

Oh, if you brew it with fruit it'll still taste like beer, just a fruity one. Hell, why would you *not* want it taste like beer?

Cuba Libre's (spiced rum, coke and lime) are fucking awesome, and they're intended to be drunk with coke


YES! Those are delicious!

I had some Sailor Jerry's last week. Only £2.25 for a double in Wetherspoons

EDIT: Yes I mixed it with coke

I was gonna make a joke about how that doesn't go with the traditional Afrikaans image of "purity", but figured it'd be disrespectful. Hey at least I know you're not of those hardcore racists. LOL
