Just found out that the store by my house finally has Goslings Ginger Beer in stock, so I can now make my favorite drink a lot easier. The drink is:

The Dark And Stormy

3 1/3 oz Ginger Beer,

Couple dashes of bitters,

2 oz Dark Rum (I prefer Kraken)

Rum 1st, Then Bitters, Then top off with the Ginger Beer. Garnish with lime if youre into garnish.

What mixed drinks do you guys like?

My simple drink is a double rum and coke, or SoCo and coke.

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.

for my tastes, olives do not go well with Hendrcks due to the cucumber essence...but a slice of cucumber works in a Hendricks martini.

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.

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.

My big thing is I've wanted to try a proper Mint Julep for a decade now and have yet to find a place that makes one in my area.

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

Gin and tonic with a lime. Gotta be London dry gin though. I also enjoy bourbon and scotch though.

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