Get an imported bottle of Wray & Nephew white rum. has to be from Jamaica or it doesn't taste the same. Ice and a twist of lime.

Couldn't agree more Pat!
However, you fail to mention one vital detail. The 'green ginger wine' must be Stones. Don't touch Crabbies with a barge pole - it's nothing like as good!

Never had a Russian with cream. Might have a bash at that...
Scotch 'n Dry isn't half bad
(infact this reminds me of my 1st bar job... there were a few old boys who would drink "half and half"- half stout (mackays IIRC) and half bitter.
Also, Gin and Bitter lemon is a generally underrated drink. It's not cool, but it's nice.

In my drinking days I was asked what's the best Champagne I ever drank, it was a bottle of Salon, however, it wasn't the drink it was the place and the company that made it special. That's how I think of drink now, I actually don't miss it that much, right now I'd love a nice espresso at the corner of Le Rascasse or le Tip Top Bar, or an ice cold Coke after a days kite surfing in Tunisia or somewhere...who needs alcohol..

If you want a warming long drink - and continuing with the ginger theme - a ginger beer shandy is excellent. Be careful when you ask for it in a pub though, as inexperienced bar staff will assume you want ginger beer mixed with lemonade. I prefer a weak bitter myself, preferably under 4%, which has the added benefit of being comfortably within the legal drink drive limit (after one pint).

Depends on mood/circumstance etc.
Orkney Dark Island
Marston's Pedigree
Theakston's Old Peculier
Weston's Old Rosie (Scrumpy)
In addition, I'm partial to a JD & coke, a fine single malt whisky, or a nice red wine...
For an evening sat out overlooking a lake, maybe relaxing with a book, I'd probably select a pint of Old Peculier...
