What's Your Favorite Non Alchoholic Drink with a Cigar

[coocooforroo]

I'm searching for something non alcoholic to go with a cigar. Last night I found that Diet Coke was NOT the answer...it was so wrong. Any suggestions.

If it has to be non-alchohlic, then it's coffee, water or ice tea for me.

I think a good cola drink is complex enough to pair up with a cigar. I also like sweet tea. A good coffee (not Folgers) can be a nice compliment to a cigar as well. Drinking water allows the bare tastes of the cigar to be exposed, since they wont be mixed with a drink, and in order to fully taste, ones mouth should not be dry.

A nice coffee on a cool evening does wonders with a cigar! I've never been happy drinking soft drinks or water while smoking. Even beer tends to wash away the cigar flavor for me. Although I'd say that 90% of the time I just enjoy the cigar by itself.

Non alcoholic? What is this "non-alcoholic"?

I'm with the coffee (hot or iced) or nothing crowd.

[thechenman]

Espresso, Latte, Coffee, water, Coca-Cola Zero or Classic...

[Ellery]

I like coffee, espresso, iced tea and soda.

[Taino]

Water, coffee, green tea or mate.

All of them without sugar.

Chalk me up as another coffee guy. My buddy Sluggo819 (Evan) turned me on to how good coffee can be and I now use a french press with fresh ground and fresh roasted quality beans. It makes a huge difference over instant or even Starbucks. If its not Rum, then its either coffee or water for me.

Try some malta. It's a Caribbean drink you can find in Hispanic grocery stores. Tastes like dark beer without the alcohol.

French press for coffee is definitely the best. It's my preferred method as well. Not a fan of drip.

Guinness is about 96% non-alcohol..

[gfoster]

Coffee or hot tea for me (Irish Breakfast with one lump).

I would agree with the above suggestions of a nice coffee or espresso, but I also tend to enjoy a sweet Horlicks vanilla malt with a cigar. Mainly with the likes of a Cohiba or Upmann that produce the creamier honey tastes, I find it couples well in the colder nights.

In saying that, its no Hennessey ._.

Espresso, Irish Breakfast tea og Lapsang Souchong tea.

[Freddy]

I agree 100% with those who said espresso

[dicko]

coffee or tea. I like the sound of iced tea though, I must try as it heats up for summer where I am!

it's not about getting boozy but the pairing of a scotch or rum with a cigar is just too good.

having said that I normally have a glass of water on standby if my palate gets dry or whatever

[simmich]

'spresso or tea...

[Cletus]

Although my preference is gin and tonic with my cigars, sometimes I'll just have ice water with lime. I'm fond of Coke Zero, too.

[Aficionado]

redbull, ginger ale soda, coffe hot or ice.

[Guest gradymrobertson]

I'm usually drinking coffee or a latte. My wife recently bought me a bottle of Rose's Mojito Cocktail mix. It's very good by itself.

[kaleehb]

Coffee, Coca-Cola, or just good ole' water

[MrGlass]

For what it's worth, my preference is for coffee (of the non-instant variety) with no sugar.

[jtvrtas]

My favorite n/a drinks with a cigar have to be coffee, lattes, or cappucinno.

[kjellfrick]

I generally have Ceylon tea with a spoonful of honey with my after work cigar. Another favourite is Cuba Cola, a brand of coke we have in sweden. Great looking cap on them! Couldn't find a picture, unfortunately.
