Your signature mixed drink :monocle

[Eel O'Brian]

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.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Booty sweat with the after taste of beer in my mouth.

Ill drink one to your health DC.

[tiesto]

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.

[Himu]

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.

[Robo]

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.

[Brehvolution]

I'd make a pitcher of kamikaze back in the day. Now I just prefer an 18 year old Jameson.

[Mupepe]

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. 

[MrAngryFace]

back when I drank often, whiskey sour- I wouldnt turn down a long island tho

[chronovore]

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."

[MrAngryFace]

I wish I knew a bar where the bartenders were old enough to call me "son" lol

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i like whiskey sours, too, they're just so hit or miss depending on the bartender

i like a good white russian every once in a while, but once i have that i can't drink anything else

[MrAngryFace]

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.

[Human Snorenado]

If I'm drinking to get drunk, then whiskey neat with a shitty beer chaser.

If I'm drinking socially, probably the White Russian.  The Dude abides.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Moscow Mule

prefer Fever Tree ginger beer and Tito's Vodka



lime and mint required, copper mug preferred

I don't drink wine, and I do love beer, but I will take you to the floor when it comes to mixed drinks

[close]

[Howard Alan Treesong]

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.

[Himu]

Old fashioned

I order an old fashioned and the bar tenders don't know what the fuck it is

Old-fashioned and gin-and-tonic are my go-to drinks in public. Turns out, even the cheapest whisky is delicious when mixed with equal parts fruit and sugar.

[Mr. Gundam]

Tanqueray and tonic with two limes.

[tehjaybo]

Used to be something I called Cough Syrup until an unfortunate incident with my heart one New Years.

1/4 pt Grey Goose
1/4 pt Cherry Dr. P
1/4 pt Rhythm caffeinated vodka liqueur
1/4 pt Red Bull

Add Maraschino cherries/grenadine to taste.  Chug.



Now it's just whiskey, no rocks.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Gin & Tonic

[T234]

Whiskey Sour. The bars I go to don't fuck it up.

[TakingBackSunday]

Old fashioned

You stole my drink.

After that I like white-russians, seven and sevens, and whiskey sours with lime juice.

[Beezy]

Moved on from long islands to jack and coke. I don't really do mixed drinks.

(Image removed from quote.)

I friend told me to try this last week. Is it really that good?

[Positive Touch]

yeah, tito's is a pretty good vodka

ill drink anything with liquor in it, but if im just trying to get in the drinking mood, i always go with a tanqueray & tonic.  delicious and goes down so easy

[Phoenix Dark]

What's the best vodka to make a White Russian with?

[The Sceneman]

Old fashioned

I love these types of drinks.

I had a real good drink fairly recently:
- some chargrilled pineapple flavoured tequila
- muddled palm sugar and lime wedges
- lots of ice

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

[The Sceneman]

What's the best vodka to make a White Russian with?

Anything, really. Youre only going to taste the kahlua and milk. You wouldnt want to waste anything expensive on a white russian.

[Positive Touch]

remember, if you need to lean over to pick up the bottle of liquor off the shelf, you shouldnt be drinking it!

[Human Snorenado]

What's the best vodka to make a White Russian with?

Preeeeeetty much what Scenester said.  I wouldn't use the cheapest shit you can find but there's nothing wrong with using some Smirnoff or Stoli. 

[The Sceneman]

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

[The Sceneman]

Used to be something I called Cough Syrup until an unfortunate incident with my heart one New Years.

1/4 pt Grey Goose
1/4 pt Cherry Dr. P
1/4 pt Rhythm caffeinated vodka liqueur
1/4 pt Red Bull

Now it's just whiskey, no rocks.

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.

how many did you drink before you had a heart attack?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

(Image removed from quote.)

I friend told me to try this last week. Is it really that good?

Yes, Tito's is the real deal, unlike overrated fast-fashion brands Grey Goose, Belvedere, Absolut, etc.

[MrAngryFace]

caffinated booze is just a bad idea- pick a horse I say

[Beezy]

Cool, I'll definitely try that next time.

[MrAngryFace]

I had heard you can just run cheap vodka through a water filter and it gets awesome? Any truth to that?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/474541

tl;dr: it improves the taste, but it's still nowhere as good as top-shelf, and it quickly destroys the filter

Patel- needs moar whiskey

I'm not much of a whisky guy - I have a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black and some Glenfidditch 12-Year, plus some Bulleit and Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

(Whisky's in the back cause I barely ever drink it. Come over and drink my whisky!)

[tehjaybo]

What happened? Chest pains? Arrhythmia?

how many did you drink before you had a heart attack?

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.

[Dickie Dee]

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

Same, though I prefer the Bloody Caesar. Gotta have dat Clam. Also best hangover cure ever.

Jungle Juice was our goto drink in High School.  With all the shit thrown in you could barely taste anything and you only needed very little to fuck you up.

Everclear

[Robo]

What is that - a bathtub's worth?

[Mupepe]

should fill one of those big sports coolers.  It's a poor person's party drink.

[Human Snorenado]

Bulleit is delicious- easily the best bourbon for the money.  Can't say anything bad about Glenfidditch either.  I would officially drink with you, sir.

...I feel like Jimmy Page just offered to jam with me.

[T234]

Triumph offering to drink with you is like me offering to smoke with you, I would reckon. An honor befitting only the connoisseur of gettin fucked up.

[Human Snorenado]

Plus, let's face it- I've only got so many healthy liver cells left.  The fact that any time could be the last time adds a certain tension to any drinking sesh!


...I'm mostly kidding.

[Rman]

damn, patel.  impressive collection there.

I'm boring.  Gin and Tonic forever.

[Groogrux]

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.

patel

me and my fiancee shared a bottle of this the night we first hooked up


also ive gotta say last time i drank jungle juice i ended up passed out against a tree with my dick out.  NEVER AGAIN

[Bildi]

I'm not a big spirit etc drinker but I like green Chartreuse.  In a glass.

[E-DuB]

G and T in the Summer
Rye and Coke in the Winter
Wine and Scorch all year round

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.

I wonder if that's similar to Wild Turkey American Honey.
