Okay, maybe not heaven, but how about purgatory? There's been a bill introduced to the state senate for a state cocktail! Why not... don't most states have a state bird, rock, tree, flower, etc. ?
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

The Sazerac? How can it not be the Hurricane, Pat O'Brien's and NOLA's most famous drink?

Louisiana has already gone to Hell. Well, at least New Orleans has.It is god-awful hot and humid. Every form of debauchery is available about 24-7. New Orleans makes Sodom and Gommorrah look like a Baptist Sunday picnic. And why do you think you meet so many interesting people and have such a good time when you go there?
Like Mark Twain said, "I will take Heaven for the climate and Hell for the society."
The Sazerac was in New Orleans long before the Hurricane was invented.
Montana's state cocktail would probably be a beer and a bump.

I suppose Michigan's state drink would probably be Stroh's (just cuz more Michiganders drink it than Bells)

No doubt, but it's so genteel that it's just not reflective of New Orleans any more, if it ever was. I'm willing to bet that more people have been blown away by the aptly named Hurricane.Originally posted by otterpop

Because after a few, you don’t even remember them… or anything else from that night.
They truly were wonderful things at the APA conference in 01’. That was such a great college outing.

Pennsylvania should be Iron City Beer & I suppose Massachuetts should be Sam Adams Beer.
It would have to be margaritas for Florida!
The official state drink in Kentucky is ... are you ready for it? .... ready now? ..... here it comes! ..... MILK!
What, you were thinking maybe Bourbon?
Nope, it's officially milk.
What? Not Yuengling? Ok, its not my favorite, but it is "America's Oldest Brewery..."
Personally, I think Victory is my favorite PA beer. Mmmmm, Hop Devil....
Still, I'm down for a taste test
New Mexico does not seem to have an official drink, though we have every other "official state" thing ever conceived. We even have a state question (Red or Green?).
The purpose of life is a life of purpose
NY's official state beverage is milk too. there must be some kind of milk conspirancy. linky blinkly bottle of inky
NY's official adulte drink would be Long Island Iced Tea? The Manhattan? The Harvey Wallbanger? Sex in DC, err, Sex on the Beach?

Could be worse......I see Indiana's imaginative state beverage choice is.......WATER. Hoosiers. [/snort of derision]The official state drink in Kentucky is ... are you ready for it? .... ready now? ..... here it comes! ..... MILK!

Texas either needs to be iced tea or Shiner Bock.
Oklahoma... Jagerbombs.and
Massachusetts's official state drink is evidently Cranberry Juice.
Which makes a lot of sense when I stop to think about it.

California has no official state drink so I am going to suggest Bong Water as the official state drink. That or some sort of freaking mineral water.
Post of the day!!!
What about vino?????
I'll bet the reason you see milk as the state beverage so often is because of the powerful dairy lobbies in each state. Yeah and the powerful water lobby in Indiana explains their choice too.
Obvious choices IMHO:
Florida....Orange juice!!
Kentucky.....bourbon
Georgia....moonshine
Washington....apple juice
Texas....Texas tea
Wisconsin....MILK dammit!

In my former life as a newspaper reporter I recall being on a press junket with a bunch of reporters from Alabama who kept ordering: "Jack Daniels and branch."
Maybe that is the Alabama state drink?

C'mon and get me you twist of fate
I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny
If you want to talk well then I'll relate
If you don't so what cause you don't scare me
There are many states with milk as the state beverage.... stupid dairy lobby...
I would think Colorado's would be Coors, no I am not bowing to the macrobrew industry and shunning Colorado's tasty micros (best in the US!), but Coors provides history and just speaks Colorado to many beer drinkers.
You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone

Not the fresh run juice of the Colorado Rockie Mountain oysters?
Annoyingly insensitive
Margarita's are sure refreshing on the beach, but I think a good case could be made for Mimosas, with fresh squeezed Florida orange juice of course!It would have to be margaritas for Florida!
