shorter list of what we don't like.

White Russian mmmmmmmm....

Bone dry Shapphire martini, up with a twist. (I have an English teacher friend who says she wants to diagram my drink order sentences.)

Usually a bourbon or Scotch guy, but once in a while, get a craving for dirty martini, love the olive brine with the gin, and put about 3 or 4 of those big queen olives in, usually mix it and chill in the fridge for a bit

That is my other "Fancy drink" A bone dry (just show the vermouth bottle to the glass) dirty martini with Hendricks Small Batch preferably.

While I am typically a vodka rocks garnished with lime or bourbon or scotch on the rocks guy, and those technically aren't cocktails, my cocktail preference would be a vodka martini (or Kangaroo for you purists). I did try something I enjoyed recently, though. Didn't catch the name but it was cucumber, cilantro and jalapeño muddled, then add him and a dash of simple syrup, shake and serve. Very interesting favors.

Before I taste it, I need to know who "him" is...

That sounds good might have to try that one. Been on a bloody mary kick lately and there is this vodka my bro in law gets which I forget the name of the maker but its called Ghost Vodka and it goes excellent with just about any bloody mary mix but I like the Ubon bloody mary bbq mix.

Zombie but the one I like has too many ingredients to keep on hand, so a 151 rum coke.

Sorry for leaving the crucial ingredient out. Gin. In my case Bombay Sapphire.

Re 15

I was going to say "tortilla chips". That's a salsa recipe, not a drink.

Moscow Mule -
3 parts ginger beer
1 part vodka
Served over ice - traditionally in tin lined copper mug
Garnish with ginger slice and crystallized ginger and mint leaf.

While I agree with Sdeve72 and Fiddlers choices those aren't cocktails.

Gin and tonic (sapphire)
Old fashioned (usually rye, but bourbon works too)
Polynesian painkiller:
4 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
1 oz orange juice
1 oz Coco Real (or Coco Lopez) coconut cream
3 oz Lost Spirits Polynesian Inspired (or navy) Rum

Almost anything with Valentine Vodka or my new favorite is Havana Club 7Yr and cream soda....

Yum!

Aubrey's Mama, Loblolly Bay, Anegada, BVI, ingredients proprietary

Old Fashion

Moscow Mule

White Russian

Jameson and Ginger

Tequila Sunrise

Blue Parrot.

Im sure I'm forgetting some…

Bourbon and coke. Hold the coke.

I rarely stray from Bourbon or Scotch neat.........some need 1 cube.When I do stray it isn't far,Old Fashioned and very rarely a Manhattan.

I don't drink...

















































But when I get thirsty.
Woodford Double Oaked when I've been dry for awhile.
George Dickel when I'm out of Woodford. (Usually in a Hillbilly Old Fashioned)
Stouts ands Porters when I'm out of Dickle.

Then I eat 2 packs of ramen noodles, half box of Oreos and go to bed.

Yeah that's sounds agaf! Gonna try that.

The only mixed drink I ever order is a Gimlet. Not sure what the correct proportions are, I usually just eyeball it when I make them at home. Two ways to make it:

Gin & Rose's Lime Juice
Gin, fresh lime juice, simple syrup

Throw it in a rocks glass with a bit of ice and a wedge of lime. My preferred gin is Vikre Boreal Juniper, damned good stuff. And no, vodka Gimlets aren't a thing.

If you're the margarita type and appriciate things of a smoky nature, one of my favorites is the Mezcal Paloma, I usually do a heavily smoked mezcal and then you just mix with grapefruit juice and sprite or a grapefruit soda.

Another good one is muddled cilantro, tequila/mezcal, sweet and sour, topped with chile (tajin) or rimmed with chile salt.

I had an interesting "tequila old fashioned" yesterday at an argentine grill that featured Tequila and Xocolatle Mole Bitters. It was a little on the sweet side but I think if they would use a good mezcal, it could be a real contender.

Cheerwine is delicious...but not sure mixed with alcohol...
