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.

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.

We usually have muddled cucumber in a gimlet.

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.

I had to look up what the hell cheerwine is. Sounds like it would ruin any bourbon you put it in and then to add bitters? Yikes.

Bourbon, scotch and whisky. Sometimes a cube to accompany if the mood strikes me.

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.

A few Mexican food joints around here make a margarita with cucumber and jalepeno. Mmmmm.

As for summertime favorites?

I've been partial lately to my own concoction.

Gentlemen, behold the Johito. (pronounce Joe Heeto)
It's a mojito with Ginger Beer in place of the soda water/simple syrup.

Mint juleps are always good during hot weather but I don't like the crushed ice.

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?

This drink goes great with cigars.....but you need to make it with Goslings Rum.
