OP made me think of various drinking headcanons for the Sonic crew as adults, so here goes.

(The characters as I have depicted them in this post are of legal drinking age! I have made various headcanons of Sonic characters as adults before and the same logic applies here. I do not condone underage drinking. I also do not condone binge drinking. Please drink responsibly.)

Sonic- either wants a light beer to sip on or he appreciates the simplicity of a single shot that will get you fucked beyond recognition in no time. Someone bought him everclear as a joke. He's a "hold my beer" daredevil when tipsy. He becomes a total mom friend while drunk.

Tails- good ol' moscow mule. The more mint in it the better. Not usually much of a drinker, and he often volunteers to be the designated driver.

Amy- the fruitiest strawberry slushy with enough alcohol hidden in it to tranquilize a horse (joking, but you get the idea). I think she enjoys making everyone cutesy cocktails. Can be a bit of a drink pusher if you get her going, but also knows when to back off.

Knuckles- I think he would appreciate a good mead. He also goes for fruit wines. His alcohol tolerance is pretty low- do not mention the Sangria Incident. Rouge will never let him live that down.

Shadow- Rarely gets drunk, and doesn't get drunk easily, since his tolerance is through the roof. When he's just looking for something to enjoy, I think he enjoys tasting different hard alcohols. When he's looking for more of a buzz, he borrows some of Amy's slushy.

Rouge- red wine. duh. Also goes for a good ol' fashioned once in a while. She also appreciates the tasting aspect of various wines and also whiskies. She steals really expensive bottles of both and then holds covert tasting parties for whoever is interested.

Omega- jaeger bomb. No need for elaboration.

Silver- sober, for various reasons both health-related, power-related, and mental health-related. No one judges him for it. He does appreciate a good non-alcoholic cider! And Amy likes making him cute mocktails.

Blaze- I think she likes floral liquors like elderflower and creme de violette! She's down for an herbal gin and tonic any day. She was also a victim of the Sangria Incident.

Charmy- as the youngest member of the crew to turn of age, this son of a bitch likes red bull cocktails. He's also the only one who can choke down a long island ice tea. Makes it his mission to finish off wounded soldiers at any party he's at. When he gets a bit older and calms down a bit, I think he'd like fruited craft beers.

Espio- a purveyor of fine sakes. If he invites you to taste sake with him, that's the highest compliment. More casually, he likes korean rice beers!

Vector- He's the kind of guy who gets a little embarrassed when ordering margaritas and mai tais, but he loves them so much, so it's worth it. Also becomes the mom friend while drunk. Will also volunteer to be the designated driver when he's not drinking.

Vanilla- was sober when Cream was younger, but now that Cream has grown up she's getting back into wine tasting. Rouge is helping her with that.

Cream- doesn't drink too much but will make an exception for any cocktails her friends make her. Very fond of Amy's spin on a white russian and Blaze's take on an aviation.

Eggman- sober. Doesn't drink because he's suuuuuuper embarrassed by the thought of being mentally impaired in the slightest. Back in his college days he railed the jaeger bombs though.

Why did we all decide that Rouge drinks red wine? I mean I agree, but it's so ubiquitous I'm surprised we can all agree on something.

#yeah this is going on the main blog because I don't want to give people the wrong idea #but as an adult myself it's fun to think about this sort of stuff #sonic

8 Delicious Alcoholic Drinks To Try This Summer In Sydney

If you’re looking to make the most of the summer, then indulging in some delicious alcohol delivery Sydney is a must. With its amazing pubs, bars and restaurants, Sydney's hospitality industry will not disappoint. From classic cocktails to craft beer and ciders, this city has something for every taste.

This summer, the options for delicious alcoholic drinks in Sydney are endless. From trendy craft beers to classic cocktails, there is something to please even the most discerning palate.

Here is a list of the best alcoholic drinks to try this summer in Sydney.

The Manhattan

This classic American whiskey-based cocktail has been around since the late 19th century and remains a popular option in bars and restaurants across Sydney. The drink is made with rye or bourbon whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters, garnished with a cherry or an orange peel, then stirred and served over ice. The Manhattan's alluring combination of sweet and strong flavors makes it a truly unique and delightful experience.

Aperol Spritz

Aperol Spritz has become a beloved Italian classic in recent years. This bright orange-hued beverage features Aperol liqueur which is made from rhubarb, gentian root, cinchona bark, marmalade oranges and other herbs, combined with Prosecco sparkling wine, soda water and served over ice with an orange slice on top as garnish. Aperol Spritz may be less potent than some other cocktails but its bright flavor is sure to please anyone looking for a refreshing treat this summer season.

Old Fashioned

An Old Fashioned is another classic drink that dates back to the 1880s when it was said to have originated at Louisville’s Pendennis Club in Kentucky. This whiskey-based drink consists of sugar cubes and Angostura bitters mixed together in a glass before adding rye or bourbon whiskey along with one large cube of ice. It's topped off by garnishing with an orange peel before serving up this delightfully balanced libation that packs quite the punch!

Negroni

First crafted in 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni at Caffè Casoni in Florence Italy, this gin-based cocktail has gained immense popularity worldwide over the last several decades due to its rich flavor profile that combines sweet vermouth and Campari liqueur with gin as its base spirit - all stirred together then topped off with an orange twist for garnish before being served neat or on the rocks for extra chillness on those hot summer days!

Sangria

Nothing says summertime like Sangria! This traditional fruit punch consists of red or white wine combined with citrus juices such as lemonade or limeade along with fresh fruits like apples or oranges before being poured into pitchers over plenty of ice cubes for chilling purposes – perfect for sipping on while enjoying some sun outback during these upcoming balmy days!

Mojito

A mojito is a Cuban highball cocktail often associated with Havana’s nightlife culture – it contains white rum (or silver rum), simple syrup (or sugar), lime juice, mint leaves muddled together (by crushing them slightly) before being topped off with soda water then served over crushed ice for added refreshment! Truly one of nature’s finest creations!

Michelada

Probably one of Mexico’s most famous concoctions – Micheladas are beer-based drinks usually prepared by combining light lagers such as Corona Extra or Modelo Especial along other ingredients like lime juice, Worcestershire sauce (or Maggi) plus some chili powder sprinkled over the top for extra spice - it’s then served cold inside chilled glasses rimmed by salt – ideal for those looking for more intense flavors this season!

Fruit Beer

Craft beer has taken Sydney by storm recently thanks to many innovative brewers setting up shop in our city – so why not indulge yourself into trying out some fruity brews? You can find kegs overflowing with tropical tastes such as pineapple IPA's (India Pale Ale), passionfruit saisons (Farmhouse ales) plus apricot wheat beers among many others available on tap this summertime at your favorite pubs or breweries around town!

To ensure you get all these delicious drinks just right when making them yourself at home don't forget about quality ingredients & proper techniques required for each recipe - else you might end up ruining everything instead of having fun times ahead drinking great beverages made from scratch all throughout this beautiful Sydney summer season we've been blessed once again here Down Under.

Why do you think Tim Shepard drinks?

fuck it, i'm just gonna put the shepard sibling here aswell if u dont mind

tim: let me just say, this man has the highest alcohol tolerance u may have ever seen. vodka and hard liquor is his go to all though on occasion he might have some rum or gin.

he's a quiet drunk, the type to sit in the corner and fix everyone in a seven mile radius with a death glare. however, he's fiercely protective of his alley cat kids and if u dare even look at them the wrong way u may not see the next day

curly: mf will drink ANYTHING, which does not end up working in his favour most of the time, by that, the majority of his nights out end up with him throwing up in a dirty bathroom. likes cider and doing random shots tho.

reckless drunk, chaotic af and will flirt with anything that moves.

angela: she tries to limit her drinking but likes colourful shots, sangria and fancy cocktails. also, especially likes margaritas, clerico n tinto de verano. average tolerance.

definitely a flirty drunk, and also giggly. twobit and her r almost besties because of her just laughing at his really unfunny jokes for hours

DIY Soju Cocktails Recipes. — Im Mart has a variety of Korean ingredients that can be used to make soju cocktails.

1. Yoghurt Soju Blast - One of the most popular and common ways to drink soju is with Yakult. You can use Vitagen too,if you’re a fan of it. But really, you can use any form of cultured milk drink and mix it with soju to create a sweet concoction.I love this version because the sweetness of the Yakult conceals the taste of the alcohol, which is especially great if you’re not a fan of the boozy flavour.

Proportion: Half a glass of Yakult + two shots of soju

2. Somaek (Soju Bomb) - Of course, it would be sacrilegious to leave out the OG SOJU COCKTAIL from this list. The Classice Somaek (Soju and beer) has got to be the easier mix of soju cocktail you can make, simply because you can get beer anywhere. i would recommend getting Korean beer for the cocktail, and my favourite is Hite beer. But if you ca’t get Korean beer, you can use any light lagers like Budweiser or Anchor.

Propotion: Two Shots of Soju + half Glass of Beer

3. Cojinganmek - This one adds sa sweet finish to the classice Somaek. The Cojinganmek is a mixture of beer, soju and Coca-Cola. The combination of coke and beer may seem odd at first, but once you tried this soju cocktail, we were sold. For those of you who have a sweeth tooth, this is the perfect combination f boozy and sweet flavours to sip on.

Proportion: Half glass of beer + one shot of soju + one third of a glass of coke

4. Ujjujju Melony - This soju cocktail is the best fir a hot summer afternoon, by the pool and the perfect combination for you and your friends. A combination of a melon ice cream popsicle sitting in a cup of soju and Chilsung Cider mix is guaranteed to quench the heat. If you aren’t a fan of melon, you can always swithc the popsicle to a flavour og your liking. Either way you’ll have a icy sweet finish to this soju cocktail.

Proportion: Two shots of soju + halfglass of Chilsung cider + one melona ice cream.

5. Energizer - The recipe for a sugar high is just around the concern in your nearest convience store. These mixers are easily available at any convience store, and even some vending machine! But this soju cockatail mix can be a bit of an acquired taste. gatorade, Red bull and soju- sounds nasty but it might just be a drink you’ll grow to enjoy. It can get a little too sweet, so one glass is enough.

Proportion: Two shots of soju + one third of a glass of gatorade + one third of a glass of Redbull

6. Soju Latte -For all coffee lovers, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to create this sweet tasting coffee soju cocktail! We decided to use Nescafe’s orginal coffee beacuse it’s easily available at any convience store or vending machines. We adjusted the ratio to ensure that the coffee taste balances out the subtle bitterness of the soju, but it’s really up to you how strong you want the cocktail to be! You can even put black coffee if you don’t want a creamy finish to it.

Proportion: Two shots of soju + half glass of coffee

7. Soju Ale - Acid a little fancy touch ti soju with ginger ale and apple slices, which will not only taste great but look classy as well. The Soju Ale cocktail resembles a Gin and Tonic, but don’t be fooled as it’ll taste completely different. The crisp sweetness from the ginger ale and green apple slice brightens the soju in this combination. It could be an acquired taste though, so try it only if you’re up for an adventurous drink.

Proportion” Two shots of soju + half a glass of ginger ale + apple slices

8. Mango Soju - When I was in Korea, I had the opportunity to discover this interesting combination. Being a mango lover, i insisted on getting mango juice with soju. Intially, I thought the combination would be too weird but surprisingly, the sweetness of the mango juice complemented the sharpness of the soju. This would be quite an easy combination to guzzle down to quench that summer thirst.

Proportion: Two shots of soju + two-thrids of a glass of mango juice

9. Soju “Sangria” - Out of all the soju cockatails I tried, this has go to be my facvourite. If you love your cocktail sweet and tangy but strong like me, you should definitely try this. Freshly squeezed grapefruit and lemon juice shaken with soju will ive you the ultimate Soju “Sangaria”. You may think it’s ladies drinks because it’s so fruity, but the alchohol content is actually pretty strong. What’s best is that the soju actually cuts through the acidity of the fruit juices, so the sourness doesn’t linger long on your plate.

Proportion: Two shots of soju + half a glass of juice

IM Mart is a Korean grocery stores online delivery based in the Philippines. Who sells a wide variety of Korean food products to both Korean and Filipino customers. We are the first Korean grocery store to sell online.

Did I read in one of your posts that you're a bartender? If so, what's your favorite drink to make for others, and your favorite to drink yourself?

You did!!

And TBH, that DEPENDS a LOT. Okay, for context, I work in a VERY high volume, high paced bar. Like, 90 % of the time, I start at 4:30pm, I get a pee break around 7pm when my second comes in, and Saturday’s especially, there isn’t even time to think about taking a. Bathroom break or eating until WELL past 1am, sometimes you don’t stop moving until 2:30 am and everyone’s EXHAUSTED.

SO, in *that* sense. I’m gonna love you for ordering a bottle or can of beer, or a simple high ball (aka, a rum and coke, gin and tonic)things that require the minimum effort so that i can get your drink out at prime speed and move on to the next one, and keep people happy.

That being said. At our bar we have the “Pretty in Pink” as a signature cocktail, if (girls specifically) don’t know what they want, I recommend it, it’s peach schnapps, watermelon vodka, cranberry and pineapple juices. Delicious! Fruity without being TOO sweet.

My “Katt” cocktails that are BOMB and I make for friends are: red sangria: red wine, ounce of scotch, ounce of watermelon vodka, pineapple juice, ginger ale, orange juice, splash of cranberry juice. Toss in all the fruits, bonus points for strawberries and cinnamon stick. Toss it in the fridge (sans ice) for the shift and let it mingle, that shits gonna fuck you up at teh end of the night. I also make a damn good ceaser.

For myself: I’ll make a sangria if I can get it in a pony, and leave it in the fridge as mentioned. Otherwise, I like to just pour myself a cider, or grab a scotch (we get one free drink per shift, so i go for those). We don’t have mojitos at our bar (again, too time consuming to make) but I LOVE them, so I’ll usually get one of those if I’m out.

At home: it’s gonna be white claws right now tbh (grapefruit or lime, if I’m feeling like i want a bit more sweet, I’ll get the watermelon ones.) they’re just nice and light, lower calories per can, and it’s a good summer drink. I used to be big into red wine, but swapped to white cause darker alcohol triggers more anxiety/jitters the next day. Though I’m very off the wine right now….

So! You not really an alcohol drinker, or maybe you don’t like the stuff, but you’re out somewhere and trying to decide how to have some and not absolutely hate your drink either. Maybe you’d like to actually enjoy the taste of your drink! Even if you’re not looking to get drunk or even tipsy. Maybe you’re just social drinking once in a blue moon.

But being a newbie, or having only had terrible-tasting alcohol, you have NO idea what to get. Steph is here to help for newbies! Or people who don’t give a damn and just want to have a nice drink that actually tastes good for once, and not in a “oh this very bitter and tart wine is so sweet” way. I am myself now very sensitive to alcohol as a flavor, so the majority of these have Steph’s seal of “shouldn’t taste like trying to stomach down cold medicine and should actually be tasty to normal people who don’t drink alcohol”.

Please note to use this advice responsibly. This is not to help you get drunk, only to help you find a drink you probably won’t have to gag down and can thus enjoy the rest of your night if you’re choosing to partake in alcohol. Imbibing alcohol is a responsibility, and not one to take lightly.

“Girly drinks” are your friends. If you’re young or you don’t drink very much, your tastebuds are probably going to be oriented more toward sweet flavors and less toward bitter flavors. You’re looking for high sugar content baby. (And if you ARE looking to get drunk, this will get you drunk much faster than a whiskey, no matter what your hillbilly uncle says otherwise. that is the entire point of “girly drinks.”)

Most bars, pubs, restaurants and other places often have house drinks or cocktails in their drink menu that they make most often. You’re looking for drinks with ingredients like sweet fruits, like cherries, apricots, watermelon, mango, blue raspberry, lemonade, or novelty things like chocolate or butterscotch or cake or whatever. If anything, just ask the bartender or server if they’re not busy! The bartender will for sure know if it’s sweet, and can probably point you in the right direction if you tell them the flavors you usually like, or what you’re looking for. Yes, you’ll look like a newbie. That’s not the point. The point is to get a drink you’re not gonna gag on and that’s the price you pay.

Only somewhat related, but if you’ve never ordered drinks from a place with a bar, they’ll ask if you want to put it on a tab. That just means, “Do you want me to keep your order open so you can add more drinks later, or is this a one-time deal?” They’ll probably ask for a name then. If your friend’s paying, you give their name.

Typically, stay away from beer. Some rare people enjoy the taste of beer from the start, most do not. If you smell a glass and it smells putrid, steer clear of it. You ain’t gonna like it no matter what you put in it.

Most wines will also not be your friend. To those who do not regularly drink wine, it’s going to be impossibly bitter and feel like it’s drying your throat out despite being a liquid. (That’s the “dry” quality they talk about.)

On the contrary, however, wine spritzers, mixers, and punches? Those are your FRIENDS. These are legit going to taste like juice or soda or punch. They also tend to be lighter on alcoholic content (hence why commonly used for parties), and big on sugar. Spritzers are wine and soda, mixers are wine and some kind of liquor (usually a very sweet or fruity kind like a lemon or strawberry vodka), and wine punches can be as sweet or sour or fruity or tropical as you want. You’ll usually see them referred to as white or red sangrias.

Note: this is sort of why these can actually be MORE dangerous than like having straight-up liquor. These types of drinks with low alcohol and heavy sugar make it very, very easy to drink a lot of them, and have some extra surprise drunk times sneak up on you later because you drank more than you realized.

My rule for safe drinking? One drink per hour, follow with water. You will typically not get more than buzzed, and will stay sufficiently hydrated.

Spritzers, mixers, and punches are part of a larger group called cocktails. Cocktails being just “non-alcoholic drink + alcohol of some kind.” Rum and coke? Cocktail. Bellini? Cocktail.

Champagne cocktails are very often sweet, bubbly drinks. They are Steph’s fave for a reason. Mimosas are perhaps the most famous champagne cocktail. Those are made with orange juice and champagne. Can be surprisingly potent.

When getting cocktails with liquors/spirits, like vodka, rum, and so forth, you will want to stay away from particular ones that are known for very bitter tastes and hard kicks. A bunch also uh, in general taste like the inside of a barrel.

Typically, whiskey, gin, and tequilas are going to be very bitter and gross, and overpower whatever they’re put in. If you like really sour though, tequila goes well with margaritas, which are a lime drink that mostly covers the tequila taste.

Vodka and Rum are typically going to be stomached better, vodka usually being the easiest of all. Both tend to mix well with fruity girly drinks, the kind you’re looking for. Very potent, so imbibe carefully. In most drinks though, you’re still going to get that “cold medicine aftertaste” that clears your sinuses and sometimes it’s just too powerful for the drink. You can usually smell these pretty strongly before you actually drink, and that’ll give you a pretty good idea of the burn you’re gonna feel in a moment. Both are also good in sweet minty drinks, if you like those.

Surprisingly good drink for newbies: mead. It can be a little difficult to get a hold of, but it’s getting more popular. It’s made from honey, so it’s gonna be sweet usually by default. Peach mead? Hell yeah. Peach and honey taste.

Absinthe is actually very tasty, and no it will not make you hallucinate. It actually tastes a lot like licorice candy. Comes in fun colors, and with a sugar cube you dissolve into it on a special spoon. VERY hard to get in the US though, only a few bars sell it as a drink. Like I think it’s literally just a handful of bars across the entire fifty states that have absinthe and absinthe cocktails. If you’ve already tasted Jaegermeister, it tastes like that. I wouldn’t call it a newbie drink, but imo you’ll still enjoy your drink if George just feel like being special today.

Hard ciders have also been hailed as great for newbies, and usually very sweet. They’ve always been hit or miss with me; sometimes, yeah, they’re delicious, and other times they just taste like vaguely-fruity beer. Which is not great.

Beer, to me, tastes like old socks. So y’know, vaguely fruity old socks.

Stay away from most shots. This is usually pure liquor, and it is not pleasant. Especially if you have a small mouth like mine and sometimes can’t do shots in one go. Exceptions are novelty mixers, like those weird cake shots.

Cake-flavored vodka is not as good as you think it sounds.

So here’s some drinks that, as someone who’s tasted a bunch, I can tell you they’ll probably be easier to stomach. Some I actually enjoy as drinks.

Rumchata is horchata with rum in it, so a milky, cinnamon-y kind of drink. Good for newbies.

Kahlua & cream: coffee and cream drink

Mudslide: coffee and cream and irish liqueur; honestly best as a mudslide milkshake. holy shit. that’s heaven.

Bourbon milkshake: honestly if any place sells milkshakes and has a bar, you can ask to get a shot of bourbon added to your milkshake. VERY yummy flavor pair, especially vanilla milkshakes with bourbon.

White russian: kahlua and cream and add vodka

Red russian: vodka with cherry liquor

Dirty Shirley: grenadine (if this is listed as an ingredient that usually means a very sweet drink), soda, maraschino cherries, vodka

Bellini (bars that know what this is are sort of rare, you’ll probably have to explain it): peach juice and champagne

Mimosa: orange juice and champagne (acceptable for breakfast parties!)

Sangria (you usually can’t order this one from bars unless it’s like a special sangria night; this drink is usually found more at parties and social functions): fruit punch + wine + soda if the hosts are younger

Strawberry lemonade vodka: strawberry lemonade and vodka

Malibu cocktail: rum (usually Malibu Rum, hence the name), cranberry juice, pineapple juice.

Blue hawaiian: coconut creme liqueur, pineapple juice, white rum, blue curacao (blue-colored orange liqueur; it’s very fun to mix and also usually means a very sweet drink).

Mojito: rum, soda, lime juice, mint

Mai tai: pineapple juice, lime juice, orange juice, grenadine, white and dark rum

Lemon drop martini: vodka, triple sec (another orange liqueur), sugar and fresh lemon juice

Pina Colada: blended slushy drink made with creme de coconut, rum, and ice

Chocolate martinis: irish cream liqueur, chocolate liqueur, and vodka

Frozen daiquiris: slushy frozen drinks made with fruit juice and rum

Irish coffee: the one place where you actually might enjoy whiskey for those who don’t like it. It’s just that: coffee and usually a whiskey liqueur, like baileys. Creamy, warm, good for cold nights.

Peppermint schnapps hot chocolate: hot chocolate with a peppermint zip. If making yourself, make a big mug first and only add like a capful of peppermint schnapps, it can very easily overpower the chocolate taste. Also creamy and yummy for cold nights.

Hot buttered rum: an intensive recipe, but a very yummy, creamy, warm, butterscotchy drink that you stick a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of. Hard to get tastier than that. I’m very certain Butterbeer was originally based off of this.

There were a bunch of drinks that are typically considered “girly” for high sugar contents, but having had them before, they were just not sweet. Martinis are usually very dry and bitter no matter the fruit, long island iced teas only taste good if you like iced tea, cosmopolitans (cosmos) are heavy on the vodka flavor, as are watermelon vodkas and alcohol-infused watermelons, and a number of colorful, blended ice drinks that are usually listed are heavy on the alcohol burn, enough to drown out the flavor.

Hope this was helpful! Remember, yes, you might look like a newbie, but the bartender wants to help you find a drink just for you! Ask them questions (when they’re not busy), and they can totally help you out (most just like to help, but at the very least, helping you might mean some extra money at the end of the night). And if they’re real nice they might give you little samples so that you can have a taste for yourself before buying the whole drink.

AHHH if ur still taking these, 🍺⏰🌋 ! <3

HELLO!! I’ve already answered these so I hope it’s okay if I pick others! D: I actually have exactly three that I haven’t answered yet.

🍺 was answered here, ⏰ and 🌋 were answered here.

🩸 Does your OC believe that blood is thicker than water? (In this case, family is blood and friends are water.)

LMAO....Poor Rebecca.

To be fair, Annie is the biggest mama’s girl! She’s always worked hard to make Rebecca’s life easier. I think she more than the others believes that blood is thicker than water, but she’s not that dedicated to the idea. Like if you challenged her about it, she wouldn’t try that hard to defend her position.

Kai, Innes, and Aust laugh at the idea. How dare you suggest such a thing to them? Pah! They put more stock into the bonds they choose.

(food and alcohol mention below)

🥦 Do they eat healthy?

Kai is a big foodie, but isn’t overly concerned with health. He makes balanced meals, has a lot of variety in his diet, home makes things when he can and that’s enough for him.

Innes is pescatarian(sp???), so they eat a lot of seafood and veggies! They’re also a big tea person, and not that big into sweets. Pretty healthy overall.

Annie loves her sugar and baked goods! Haley’s Bakery is her favorite spot in Wayhaven. She’s not as practiced at cooking as Kai and Innes, but knows enough to fend for herself. Very interested in bread baking someday. Not the biggest fan of most meat, and prefers chicken.

At the bottom of the barrel, there is Aust. Her diet is energy drinks, junk food, take out, fast food.... she spends a lot of hair and skin care to get away with her awful diet LOL. One of the perks of becoming a vampire is she doesn’t have to think about eating anymore.

🥃 Does your OC drink? What is their drink of choice?

Kai likes gin type drinks! I’m thinking a classic Pim’s Cup for him or Mules. Something with interesting flavors working together like that.

Innes likes beers and dry ciders. Something simple flavor wise.

Annie loves her cocktails, with a sweet base like rum. She enjoys colorful mojitos and and martinis or sangria swirls.

Aust’s favorite drink is Free. Also shots. :D

#thank you I hope you enjoy reading these even if they weren’t what you asked! D:#oc asks #ask meme #oc: innes calimeris #oc: annie tomas #oc: kai matsui #oc: aust brooks
