What other alcohol drink to have with a meal other than beer?

[iamwhatiseem]

So as some of you may have seen I have been dealing with long covid since November.
One of the weird side effects is beer makes my stomach queasy. I don't know why.
I only drink craft beers, not interested in corporate beer as I might as well have water. Actually I would rather have water.
Anyway... sometimes you like that "1 beer buzz". A soft/calming buzz that comes with just drinking a small amount of alcohol. But I don't know what to try.
I have not drank soda in many years, so anything with soda is out. Taste like ultra sweet cough syrup to me. (it would you to if you never drink it)
But it also needs to be refreshing like beer. I don't like wine either.
What kind of refreshing cocktails or mixed drink do you like that can be had with a meal?

Red Bull.

Red Bull.

Well that doesn't have alcohol and taste like absolute shit.
I had no interest in it, but was curious so someone let me have a drink... GOOD GOD!.. how can anyone drink that shit

I'm no expert by any means, but there are numerous pre-made cocktails for sale at alcohol stores from what I hear. A friend bought me a bottle and I can't remember the brand, but it was blue and delicious.

Try one of the new non-alcoholic beers with dinner.

Or, if you really want alcohol, something with say vodka and soda water (seltzer) flavored with lemon or lime.

Campari & soda.

Champagne, iced tea mixed with whiskey, apple juice mixed with whiskey, or plain ice water mixed with gin or vodka.

Back when I used to drink, I liked a kir royale.

Red wine with meat. White wine with fish.

Throw some Everclear into some carbonated water ...

dirty martini or a bourbon slush? either end of the spectrum.

Most wine tastes like cough syrup to me, but a light German white wine I can handle with most foods. Never got a taste for booze of any kind, they seem to kill taste, not enhance it.

That sounds interesting

In England, I had a really light tea of cheeses and crackers along with a Perry wine, a very light, dry pear wine. I normally don't like wine but this one impressed me. Wonder if I could grow a Perry pear tree in my region.

I think it would be ideal for what you're looking for. Some might consider it an acquired taste, however.

Never tried it. Sounds good. I've had hard apple cider before, wasn't bad. We drank it hot, like tea, from a cup.

I used to love hard cider, heated and mulled, when I was younger.

None. Drinking is serious business not to be mixed with meals as alcohol interferes with your digestion and affects the taste of the food. But if you must drink something, I'd say go for something compatible like E&J VSOP Brandy (an excellent bouquet and not expensive) or maybe a fruit brandy like apricot as an aperitif.

You might also try some sherry, gin and tonic water, a dubonnet cocktail or dry sparkling wine, even Ouzo.
