Am I looking for a backwoods moonshiner's stil leaking a small stream of pure grain alcohol somewhere?

during winter... Hot 100 all the way! Chair lift, ice climbing, whatever. does the trick and warms up. Otherwise gin and tonic best drink hands down!

Excellent suggestion. Cocktails are nice but, let's face it, for most of us they're just an alcohol delivery device. Might as well just sip something good.

Bag of wine. And when it's gone you can blow it up and use it for a pillow.

Thanks for your help. We went with good old straight tequila. Somebody brought the Peppermint Shnappster. I couldn't resist grabbing a few beers from the car before we left. After 12 miles with a pack that was the best Bud Light I ever had.Thanks for the input.
