Good nonalcoholic drink pairing

[76GTFan]

Sorry if this belongs in the drink forum, but I am thinking about cutting back on my whiskey drinking (I know, I know). Now I don't plan on quiting cigars, but I am so used to having my scotch/bourbon with my smoke. What soft drinks work well with a smoke? Just wanted to hear some opinions.

Rootbeer, cream soda, Dr.Pepper, any coffee drink (iced or hot), ice tea just to name a few.

Ginger Ale

I've really been enjoying IBC diet rootbeer with my smokes when it's been too early to crack into the booze. It has been great with several different smokes.

Love coffee in the morning and afternoon.

For nights, Arnold Palmer iced teas are great.

I like the John Daly's too

I like Arnold Palmers, but I find that lemonade can give my cigar a bitter aftertaste, especially if it's a corojo wrapper.

I usually enjoy my cigars with Dr Pepper but I gave this a try with an afternoon smoke and thought it was great. Not too sweet and doesn't linger too much on the palette.

Yep. I sometimes drink A&W Rootbeer or sweet tea.

Damn, that does sound good. Will have to give it a try.

I'm bumping an old thread for you, Puffer.

I prefer a coffee, always hot too, ice coffee i drink too fast. I do enjoy a hot tea most afternoons. I like ice tea, but not as much as ice coffee.

for soda, usually ginger ale, because it is usually what I have on hand,

for a cocktail, my go to drink is rum and ginger ale.

Depends on what I'm smoking but I do enjoy Boylans Cream Soda, Coke/Mexican Coke, Water and Ice Tea (unsweetened and not flavored).

I drink lemonade(pink) usually, sometimes tea...I feel the carbonation in soda can screw with how you taste a cigar....

[AD720]

My favorites are dark soda, Dr. Pepper at number one, hot coffee, iced coffee.

I've noticed a couple times that certain teas, iced or hot, have reacted negativity with certain cigars, bringing out a tanic, bitter flavor that really turns me off. I've noticed it with water/club soda with lemon as well but sometimes plain, ice water tastes so good.

I would be more concerned with how the tartness of pink lemonade would mess with the taste of a cigar than I would with carbonation.

I have been noticing the same thing. I never drink soda before smoking now. Makes the cigar taste flat.
