Title: Re: Cocktails, anyone?

Welcome aboard, CampGirl. You will likely set a record for first post responses...the QJ'ers will be falling all over themselves... Drink recipes are like.....(you know)...everyone has one.

Personally, although a healthy imbiber at home I often travel to the Q sans alcohol. However, when I do pack the fuel I favor JD or other whiskey/scotch (Lafroig) which delivered via a nip straight or in a cup of coffee never fails to please.

But I suppose you are looking for real recipes....tough when cold beverages are nonexistent in the bush. Vodka (even a very nice Kettel One) somehow disappoints when combined with lukewarm Sturgeon Lake water and Crystal Light.  One year I premixed Capt. Morgan and Coke and froze them...so for the first 12 hours or so we had a relatively cold cocktail.

Vodka seems to lend itself best to the various drink mixes we bring to the bush. Other threads have discussed the relative merits of wine in a box.  I seem to remember Solotripper describing a Japanese freeze dried beer pill.  Like I said you'll get a ton of responses...I just can't really help you unless you can figure out how to get ice air lifted into your site.
