...Grapefruit Soda. The latter is carbonated. It's a very refreshing combination. In warmer months, I put a glass with the green tea stuff in the freezer long enough for it to get a crust of ice on it, and then add the grapefruit drink. Right now, its 9 degrees with wind chill feeling like 2, so regular refrigerator coldness is quite sufficient.

For an alcoholic beverage, I do like Mike's Hard Lemonade. Not a dry wine person - dry red wine tastes like Robitussin cough syrup to me. Sweeter whites are my preference - Auslese, Spatlese, and Moscato.

For something to accompany desserts/pastries, it's gotta be ice cold milk.
