Any favorite Boundary Waters drinks out there? my personal favorite is hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps.

If you come to a fork in the river, take it.

mine has to be a tie between a few choices:
1. Has to be Crystal Light Rasberry Lemonade and Grey Goose
2. Crystal Light Sunrise (Orange Flavor) and Grey Goose
3. Any Cool aide and and either Capt Morgan or Grey Goose
4. Jack and Cool Aide

We bring Dc. McCi Cherry for something to pass around the fire.

Have you seen the mixers on Packit Gourmet? Yum!

The Moonshine Margarita was listed as one of the 'essentials' in Backpacker's gear guide.

I'll second the Cherry Doc. Mix it with a little ice cold lake water.

I cannot believe it. This thread has nine posts and so far nobody has mentioned EverClear.

If one reads prior threads on this topic, and there are many, EC soon becomes the overwhelming favorite. Best I can tell, "EC" is pure, unadulterated grain alcohol.

I hear there will soon be an AA chapter meeting on Basswood.

Me too. I seldom drink scotch at home, but it sure does go well with Boundary Waters sunsets.

Are there any restrictions on the amount a person can bring in? After reading all of the different mixtures I might need multiple flasks.

Jose was never an original wise man and the person who gave him that honor should be shot. Three wise men should be Jack, Jim, and Johnny

Hey Wolf- That would be a good start!
Hows about this- 3 nalgenes, 1 hooch, 2 hooch, 3 hooch.
Then figure it out from there!

Was leanin towards Crown Royal and purified water but not sure now that i have been readin all this! Jameson would also be good but i drink that at home it would be nice to drink a "Special B-Dub" concoction i guess! Anyway still lookin and hadn't seen CR yet!

my favs gotta be crystal lite lemonade with vodka, followed by a chase of polish blackberry brandy. its called leroux brand and the lable says "jezynowka". yum yum! especially in the colder wet weather of spring or fall.

Everclear is the way to go. It mixes well with Crystal Lite Cherry Pomegranate, help start wet fires, clean wounds and it's high proof means weight savings. It's like duct tape but better!

I usually bring a flask of blackberry brandy too.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

I was going to bring Everclear last time (for the killer weight to effect ratio)...but decided on Crown Royal instead, for some reason, whiskey in the BW just seems right.
Good whiskey with a side of filtered BW lakewater = yummybuz!

Try a little tequila with fresh fish/shore lunch. Pack a lime and you won't believe how good the combo is. Salt is a given. I don't even like fish or tequila that much so should tell you something.

let the hot drinks cool a little before adding alcohol so said alcohol doesn't evaporate
