Title: Your signature mixed drink :monocle
Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 28, 2011, 09:36:55 AM: Inspired by the beer thread.

Mine has always been the Dirty Martini. Drop of Vermouth (and I do mean a DROP, swirled around in the glass), decent quality vodka (depends, I like Three Olive fine), splash of olive juice/brine (around 1/4 of a shot), double olives on the pick, and a single cocktail onion dropped into bottom of the glass. I like them so much I even have a little kit I keep on the shelf with shaker, measuring shot glass, and glass picks.

I also like a good Bloody Mary. This place - http://www.lynnsparadisecafe.com/ - makes the best Bloody Mary I have ever had.

Can't do shots of anything anymore. I have a friend my age who still spends his weekend nights chasing vodka shots with beer, I would imagine his liver looks like one of those things you see in jars at county fair sideshows.

Long Island Ice Tea

if the night doesn't end up with you pissing your pants and forgetting your name then it's pretty much pointless

(lol, i will hit 150 days with out drinking anything in about 4 days time - i've forgotten the joy of booze)

The first time I had one of these was in Toronto, ironically.

Post by: Himu on September 28, 2011, 10:34:39 AM: Either white/black russian or a Jack and Coke with a tad extra coke. Both with cherry. Mostly a white/black russian; my favorite mixed drink.
Title: Re: Your signature mixed drink :monocle
Post by: Robo on September 28, 2011, 10:38:37 AM: Vodka tonic or whiskey sour. Tend not to go with a whiskey sour unless I have an idea of how the bartender mixes the drink, though.

Title: Re: Your signature mixed drink :monocle
Post by: Mupepe on September 28, 2011, 11:04:08 AM: Jack Daniels and coke

If it's Single Barrel or Gentleman's Jack then just on the rocks.

If not that, then some OJ and vodka will do just fine.

Post by: chronovore on September 28, 2011, 11:23:03 AM: I don't do mixed drinks, unless "hot water and whisky" counts.

I guess about once every couple years I'll have whisky, Bailey's, Kahlua, on ice -- I was told this is a "B-52," then a bartender told me, "No, son."

Post by: Eel O'Brian on September 28, 2011, 11:28:12 AM: yeah, i like whiskey sours, too, they're just so hit or miss depending on the bartender

Post by: MrAngryFace on September 28, 2011, 11:31:19 AM: At the end of the day if I was drinking on my own i'd just have a scotch/bourbon neat. It was just fun to order something I was too lazy to mix correctly on my own while I was out.

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on September 28, 2011, 12:39:45 PM: btw that is "signature" in the strongest sense of the term - people expect it when they come to our parties, and I own a delacquered, hand-polished set of copper mugs for serving

my fiancée's signature cocktail is self-created:

1.5 oz gin (Citadelle or Bluecoat)
1.0 oz Canton
top with lemonade
lemon garnish
maraschino cherry garnish

Basically a reconstructed Tom Collins.

I love these types of drinks.

I had a real good drink fairly recently:

- muddled palm sugar and lime wedges
- lots of ice

it was great! Cant remember the name of the cocktail. It was something spanish

Post by: The Sceneman on September 29, 2011, 09:52:27 AM: yeah you NEVER want to go too cheap, even for very basic drinks like a white russian. Absolut is a smooth, general vodka, no idea if it's very expensive in the US

you wasted Grey Goose on that shit? I mean, I'd down one of those, but its a pretty low-brow drink for such good vodka.

Four pint glasses of this in 30 mins, a bit heavy handed on the vodka. Ex was at a party, and I was trying to make it so I couldn't see her anymore. Heart ended up going pitter-pat too fast, and it really messed with my mind. Ended up calling someone for a ride home (which I never do) and took my blood pressure once I got home, which had tanked to the point where I probably should have been dead. Don't remember off hand exactly what it was. Though I remember my pulse being somewhere over 120 bpm.

Bourbon neat. If I'm feeling crazy I might get a couple ice cubes.

This.

Although if I'm looking for a mixed drink, then I like a good Kentucky Highball. Ale-8-One (local ginger ale from Kentucky) and Maker's Mark on ice.

One thing I learned from a friend is that if you truly take pride in your bourbon, you'll never mix a top shelf with ANYTHING. Maker's ain't exactly top shelf, but it isn't the bottom of the barrel either.

And getting fancy chuck a thinly sliced string of orange peel in the top

I've been told those are good, but I've never had one myself. Might have to try that sometime.

BTW, adding real honey to your bourbon or whiskey is ten times better than anything you can buy off a shelf that's mixed with honey flavoring.

This is what I've been into lately. An easy bourbon whiskey with honey that I mix with grapefruit or cranberry juice or just have it on the rocks. Adding a mint leaf is nice.

That shit is the urine of satan. The only time I've ever been in a drunken fight was because of this stuff.

I love canadian whiskey! Best thing you maple folks have ever done aside from Bret Hart.

Must've never had that other great Highly Psychoactive and Resinous Canadian export. The great thing is that good Canadian Outdoor is the same price as mid-grade Kentucky domestic, yet quite a bit better.

Hooray for huge plant number thresholds in Canada!!

He said the threshold for them even to bother to check out a Grow-op there is 400 plants :o

Here 100 plants is a federal case and they usually hit you with trafficking AND promotion which is bad cause that means you end up on the List.

It's a decent bourbon, not one of my favorites, but good.

But can you think of a better value for your money? I'd honestly like to know if you think there is a better 1L bottle of bourbon for $15.

You make a good point there. For the cost, it is pretty good.
