Some people, it seems, like both tea and coffee. Others like neither.

Error, situational. :)

[conuly]

That's not my fault.

[rebelsheart]

Ultimately, I do not care for coffee or tea, so my preferred hot drink - when it's cold enough, is hot chocolate.

Recent experience with fresh lemonade has revealed that my sugar intake reduction efforts have worked and it can easily be too sweet for me, but sometimes I want the sweet-tart taste.

[isis]

My answer changes according to the season...

[conuly]

And?

[siderea]

I'm not sufficiently fond of either to be able to prefer between them.

[conuly]

*gasp*

[dine]

the answer to that is entirely dependent upon the season

[conuly]

I don't see why. You can put marshmallows in both of them.

[dine]

*does full body shudder at the thought of marshmallows in lemonade*

that suggestion is flat out inhumane, that is! where I live is fast-becoming lemonade season, with hot chocolate season liable to return in approximately five months

[rebelsheart]

I'm with you on marshmallows on lemonade.

I mean, one certainly can, and I'm not going to stop someone unless they try to put them on mine... but no...

[julian]

It depends on what kind of thirst I want to slake, but *generally* I'm more inclined to lemonade than hot chocolate.

[saturnofthemoon]

Depends on the season.

[nicki]

Yes.

[archangelbeth]

I CANNOT ANSWER THIS!

Hot chocolate when it's cold outside! Lemonade when it's hot! O_O;

Mood. XD

[unfavorableinstigation]

I gave the vote a good try anyway, though.

[kengr]

Not fond of lemonade. It's one of several foods/drinks that gives me a nasty acid after taste.

Hot chocolate is ok, but nothing special

[rionaleonhart]

It very much depends on whether you mean US lemonade, which is delicious, or UK lemonade, which is awful!

[mtbc]

Good point!

When feeling unable to choose between lemonade and hot chocolate (I enjoy each) I had US-style in mind, the kind one buys from the county fair stall from the person with the big stack of fresh lemons in their kiosk.

UK-style is maybe more useful as a mixer but in modern times seems difficult to buy without artificial sweeteners.

[conuly]

"Buys"? Makes, you mean!

[rebelsheart]

I'm under the impression UK lemonade is basically Sprite/7-Up without the lime flavor, so under that impression, I couldn't imagine making lemonade regularly nor without specialized appliances.

[sallymn]

I could be influenced by the cold snap that has just hit....

[batwrangler]

Insufficient data: answer requires more context. :)

[goss]

I love hot chocolate, but since I live in a tropical place, the "hot" part isn't usually as appealing as the "chocolate" part. My compromise is iced cocoa. :D

[conuly]

You can also make hot lemonade.

[calimac]

I feel strongly that one drinks only cold liquids, not hot ones. And one bathes only in hot water, not cold.

[conuly]

One eats coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, like soup.

[grav_ity]

This was really difficult for me because they are...functionally different? But I picked hot chocolate and then immediately regretted it, so who even knows.

[polydad]

If it's hot out, lemonade. If it's cold out, cocoa. Else, tea or coffee.

[dewline]

Lemonade seems to trigger digestive issues. Which may be specific to me alone. So take that as you will.

[low_delta]

Lemonade is one of my favorite beverages. Lemon juice, sugar and water.

[cellio]

One for summer, one for winter -- duh! :-)

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

I like tea, coffee, chai, herbal tea, lemonade, hot chocolate, shakes, smoothies and punch - all either with or without assorted varieties of alcohol in them - depending on the season, the occasion, and my mood at the time.

It astonishes me, that so many people have specific 'favorites' in so many categories, even down to having favorite numbers. What's up with that? How do they even decide? So weird.

[conuly]

What tastes best? Bam, that's my fave.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

But is it always the same thing that tastes best?

[conuly]

Why wouldn't it be?

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Because sometimes one is the mood for a change. I realize there are people who are never in the mood for a change; who eat and drink the same limited selections all their lives, and may even have trouble coping if their accustomed favorites aren't available. This seems a bit neurotic to me, but "de gustibus non disputandem est", and they're not hurting anyone else, so whatever.
