Favorite backcountry cocktail

[Firehawk]

As a non drinker, I had to find a "celebratory" drink for my hunts. A Bolthouse Mango juice mixed with Mtn Dew, become my drink of choice.

Fireball. Gives me that inside sweater

Holy sugar rush!

Agreed totally. Let's just say I have to be judicious with that nectar

High quality whiskey or Skrewball, neat.

Always liked a flask full of brandy. Nothing to hard just a swig to warm things up.

I had some really good brandy on South Africa, I just can't remember the dang name of it.

Local distillery here makes an Irish style whiskey, 2 fingers of that by the fire at the end of the day...

In cold weather, it warms hot tea with a stack of brandy

 

[Smiley]

being from Wisconsin I prefer a good irish wishkey over brandy

 

[Swampcruiser]

Its a killer on weight but we pack in a flask of Woodford reserve

 

[Swamppirate]

Good whiskey sour.

Im a bourbon guy, do not drink much in the back country but do have a splash before bed. One side note, we do have a tradition in my group which is we each take a can of PBR in. And if the hunting sucks or we need a change of luck we drink them with dinner. (i have so many rough hunts PBR has grown on me as my go to back home)

That's an awesome tradition. I may have to follow suit. I think I'll do good ol' Rainier Beer tho!

A little 12 year old Scotch, neat out of a tin (or titanium in this case), cup after a long hard day of hiking, is pretty hard to beat as well.

You should drink with your pinky out because that's just fancy!

Some lemon kush, is a lot lighter to pack then booze. You need to pack a lighter ( matches) anyway ! Oh yea, it don’t leak either !

That seems to be the camp substance of choice here in my home state. Probably easier on you than booze too.

100 proof peppermint schnapps in a water bottle

My dad and his hunting partner gave me a pull of peppermint schnapps while whitetail hunting when I was 12 or so. Good stuff and will always remind me of hunting whitetails in the Palouse.

Vodka, usually Tito's or Stolichnaya and a Gatorade or Crystal light packet for a quick, sweet, liquid desert.
If I'm packing whiskey its straight out of the bottle, but the mentioning of a hot cider packet dropped in some sounds interesting.

Lots of good suggestions on this thread, I will have to start doing some research and development out on my deck when the bbq pit is going.

I like to mix Tito's with fruit punch crystal light and call it Putin's punch! Good stuff

A good bourbon or rye. Neat. It’s made for a few challenging mornings, but it’s delicious. A gnarly hike with a hangover is good for you. Builds character.

Matter fact, next time I need to vet a new hunting partner, I’ll get them liquored up and see if they quit on me in the morning.

Any of the Buffalo Trace Bourbon's or Michter's. I am not brave enough to pack in a Blanton's or Pappy, but I think either of those paired with a nice Connecticut wrapper CLE or Rocky Patel and life is just about perfect.
