Following on from Gareth's excellent Formula Eats thread (https://forums.autos...1-formula-eats/) - how about drinks to match the country that the race is in - for the lazy among us? 

 

Can be alcoholic or otherwise!

Beer

 

The drink of champions.  Suitable for all venues.

Water is in every country, bottled or not. Works for me.

If there was an Irish Grand Prix, we could all have the Jordan energy drink (or was it vodka?) - V10 I believe it was called?

I assume William Storey is watching this thread with interest.

I’ll submit a margarita for Austin. Cheaply made with fruity drink mix and served frozen in a giant glass cowboy boot.

For Mexico, make a real one.

The other easy ones:

Brazil - Caipirinha
Sochi - White Russian
France - Champagne
Italy - Espresso
Other Italy - Chianti
Britain - Beer
Australia - More Beer
Germany - Would you believe Beer again?
Spain - Kalimotxo

Aperol spritz and a couple of limoncellos for the Italian GP!

The Jordan Formula One team is to launch an alcoholic variant of its EJ-10 energy drink brand, despite the potential concerns that it would promote a link between drinking and driving.

 

Jordan Brand, the British F1 outfit's consumer products offshoot, plans to unveil the V-10 drink this summer and hopes to secure a deal with a distributor to give the product a presence in bars and nightclubs.

 

V-10 is a combination of vodka, EJ-10 and lime, and is named after team owner Eddie Jordan's rock band.

This is a bit of a low-brow confession but every country I go to I have to try a local beer and McDonalds.

 

I've tried McDonalds in over 20 countries now, and it's our friends the Kiwi's who have it nailed.  Special mention to Malaysia which is where I first had 'made to order' McDonalds and Fiji, but with Fiji maybe it was the guy at the front door with the machine gun that made it more exotic (true story btw).

 

With Beer, this may surprise some viewers, but Brahma in Brazil is probably my favourite beer and it was about $2AU per long neck!!!

 

I also enjoy a Pacifico, it seems I mostly like South American beers.....
