Phil T Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 So Amy and I are getting ready for our annual trek to Destin. We usually pack all we need for all things adult beverages. Trying to find what we need or want at a reasonable price is nearly impossible. So hear is what we take: -Tanguery gin -tonic -limes -cranberry juice -hard setzers -beer -wine -vodka, she wants this in her bloody -Mellow Corn, for Mellow Mary's -bloody mix -beau monde spice -celery and holyshitfire bitters -garlic stuffed olives -jalapeno stuffed olives -celery salt -EWSB '11, for sipping -Maker's 46, for sipping - AND, bacon...the Mary ultimate garnish So, this is what we pack, mainly because we have the room and the inventory on hand. Do any of you guys/gals pack all of your own alcohol and accompaniments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Phil, I absolutely do. I plan and pack those supplies before clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yes, but you are way more advanced than I am! I bring a whole bunch of 100ml samples when I travel. Refill the empty bottles with leftovers of something I bought if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 My vacation check list usually consists of a "mental" list of liquor stores to visit while traveling and at my destination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanostra Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yep, doing this right now for next week. I'm light on the bourbon on this trip but will pass through KY so there is opportunity for more... Its a big group and a week long stay, so I'm contributing: - Case of Prosecco - 2x Aperol - Campari - Cynar - Ramazzotti Apertivo - Luxardo Bitter Bianco - Fiorente Elderflower - Limoncello - Branca Menta - Cachaca - Foursquare Probitas rum - Parce 12 year rum - Elijah Craig SmB Binny's Pick - Knob Creek Barrel Strength Rye, Binny's pick - 1.75 Jack (so old the label is different than what is sold today, but I don't really drink JD anymore) - Johnny Drum - 1.75 Tito's vodka (for others) - Stiegl Radler - Paulaner Lager - Bitters Can you tell I like my Spritz? Will probably pick up some mule mix in KY. Counting on someone else to bring gin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yes, a little bit of everything… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I try not to take anything on vacation, that way I will have whatever is there and it will forever remind me of that time. Once went to an all inclusive in Mexico and all they had was JW Black, so now whenever I sip on that I think of Mexico. But I do admire those that prepare in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizzy Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 When the wife and I go to Vegas, we always plan the alcohol as it's waaaaaaaaaaay more cost effective to pregame than to buy drinks on the strip. Bonus for getting exactly what I want. We usually bring: 1 case champagne 2 bottles orange juice 3 bottles of bourbon so that I have variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a much more elaborate kit if I'm driving, but otherwise it's beneficial to keep everything TSA friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and I like to bring along a big cooler, and a small cooler. Small cooler has soft drinks, water, and ice - for in the car. Big cooler I will fill with ice from ice machine at my destination. Then I'll use it for local beer, and other drinks, and perishable food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Yup - just fillin' the aspirin jar with Excedrin and Naproxin Sodium (500ml) right now. We're gettin' ready to head down to the Point Judith Ferry dock and ride over to Block Island on the 1 o'clock with the grandbabies for the week of the 4th. Hope SWMBO packed up the bourbon (hope, hope)! I know she already put her scotch in the car . . . . . . . All y'all have a happy 4th of July and stay safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graftonbc1 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The only thing I pack is a 375 of Knob Creek. It’s my go to on the road and it ensures I’ll have something nice to sip. Since we generally will eat out, I will try and get a good pour at a restaurant or bar. I rarely do mixed drinks, unless I am in the NOLA area. Then I seek out the perfect Sazerac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we travel to the Caribbean, we buy a bottle of bourbon at the duty-free shop at the airport. Those AI's in the Caribbean are notorious for sticking bottom shelf bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
