your favorite cocktail
 
i don't drink beer enough to have much of an opinion about it, but i do drink a heeeeellllllll of a loot of liquor, and what are some of your favorite concoctions?

my all time gave and standby, i'm always up for vodka & cranberry, practically was on a IV of it during ATP NY, especially during the first day, sometimes with a splash of lime to give an element of sour, and goes great with Thai food

one drink i made tonight that really set the standard high is called a Hollywood

which i made with 2 parts Chambord, 2 parts Vodka (Skyy in this instance) 1 part Triple Sec and a splash of lime juice

drunk a bit of Cherry Slings over the holidays, 6 parts Cherry Brandy, and 1 part lemon juice

after dinner dessert drinks tend to be quite creamy, Nuts & Berries (2 parts half & half, 1 part Chambord, 1 part Amaretto) Velvet Hammer, (2 parts half & half, 1 part vodka, 1 part creme de cacoa) or a classic Brandy Alexander

at home i just usually have crown on the rocks, or bacardi with either pineapple or cran juice

This sounds amazing.

pantophobia 01.07.2009 09:28 PM

it tastes a lot like a cherry coke, which is quite consolation sincei don't drink soda anymore

!@#$%! 01.07.2009 09:42 PM

generally i'm an on the rocks kind of guy, but nothing beats a good bloody mary on a sunday morning. nothing.

then in summer there's the wonderful gin & tonic, or the goodness of a salty dog, but not this time of the year, no.

anyway if anyone is interested i'll post my recipe for a bloody mary that has no shitty or artificial or foofoo ingredients of any kind and it's just fucking good.

i speaky thee truthh.

pbradley 01.07.2009 09:52 PM

Okay. I don't think I've it with rye, before, for some reason. I'll try it next time.

RdTv 01.07.2009 09:58 PM

Summertime is the time for: Bourbon & Tonic, Vodka & Cranberry, Tequila Sunrise, Rum & Coke and of course the kings of summer drinks The Caipirinha (Cachaca or Vodka with lime,sugar and ice)

Winter: Jack & Coke, and basically any scotch or bourbon on the rocks.

ihateyouth 01.07.2009 11:29 PM

vodka on the rocks.

acousticrock87 01.08.2009 12:42 AM

Jameson and a touch of water. No ice.

thats not a cocktail yo. the original definition (19th century) was liquor, sweet, and bitters. but today is any kind of mixed drink-- water doesnt count-- you need at least a juice :)

acousticrock87 01.08.2009 12:52 AM

Haha I know. It was my way of saying "none."

Not that I don't like cocktails; I just can't think of a time I set one down thinking, "I'm glad I didn't spend my money on whiskey."

But I will admit to loving White Russians. I can't help it. Oh, and pineapple juice, orange juice, and any kind of alcohol. That's always good.

Sonic Youth 37 01.08.2009 12:57 AM

^ vermouth, gin, orange juice and lemon juice is a godly combination.

oh ha ha ha-- i could chug gallons of kahlua and milk-- enough to make me vomit.

on the subject of creamy shit, and in winter, bailey's on the rocks is awesome-- i'd count whiskey cream as a cocktail of sorts (well maybe its cheating). fuck i can drink bailey's like soda & make my liver rot. oh yeah and irish coffee rules.

hot buttered rum btw is an ancient american drink thats fucking great in a cold day.

acousticrock87 01.08.2009 01:02 AM

I have never had Bailey's. And now whenever I see it it just reminds me of the Old Greg thing, which, if videos had a taste, would taste kind of like sewer water.

!@#$%! 01.08.2009 01:12 AM

ive no idea what you talking bout but if you like white russians bailey's is just a switch of liquor (irish whiskey instead of vodka) and vehicle for the coffee (no kahlua). both are made w/ cream. and since you like jameson's you should abandon your prejudices and give it a goddamn try.

acousticrock87 01.08.2009 01:14 AM

I'm sure I'd like it. I've never turned it down, but I've never sought it out either. Some day.

EDIT: Oh, and Old Greg is a Mighty Boosh skit. It's kind of annoying, though, so I'm not going to link it.

_slavo_ 01.08.2009 04:28 AM

mojito all the way.

noisereductions 01.08.2009 08:09 AM

1. Jack Daniels + cola + lime
2. preferably Irish Whiskey + ginger ale + lime
3. Tangeray + tonic + lime

Daddylikes 01.08.2009 07:19 PM

my favorite cocktail is my cock in a hot chicks tail.

Nice. I didn't even think of that. If I just buy some vermouth, that will, like, double my drink options.

Irish Manhattan...Canadian Manhattan...Rye...

flophousefloozie 01.08.2009 09:56 PM

Scotch and water, respectively.

thats not a cocktail! that's just scotch (yummy).

btw i looked up the bloody caesar and its made with clamato. i need to try that.

phoenix 01.09.2009 08:07 AM

cocktails are for patient drinkers, gay/bisexual men, or dinner parties.

so.. none.

the fanciest drink I've ever had a bartender make is guava, tequila, ice and crushed mint leaves. that was mostly because I was half drunk and trying to think up something different to drink that both last and not make me pass out. Its a nice drink.

my partners favourite cocktail is an espresso martini. which I could not touch with a yard pole, but he swears by..

something along the lines of espresso shot, khalua, baileys, vodka... something else..

It's very good. I can't imagine it any other way.

gmku 01.09.2009 01:08 PM

Long Island Iced Tea. Any time of year. Woo hoo.

mangajunky 01.09.2009 01:11 PM

Plymouth Gin martini stirred not shaken 2 olives.

RdTv 01.09.2009 01:14 PM

Also, Long Island Tea, White Russians and Whiskey Collins. These all make my brain giggle.

Toilet & Bowels 01.09.2009 01:17 PM

only rarely do i drink things that aren't beer or shots, caipirinha is quite nice if made well, sometimes i drink vodka and orange if i need to perk myself up after a few pints, but normally if that were the case i'd have a shot of tequila or sambuca.
cocktails are expensive though and they only last a minute or two.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 01.09.2009 05:19 PM

You can make some great stuff with pirate Bay Rum.
Strawberry gingerale and vodka is pretty good as well.

Phlegmscope 01.09.2009 06:12 PM

I almost never drink cocktails. I like the one with soda water + clear booze.

Also white russians.

gmku 01.09.2009 10:50 PM

It packs a punch. There's mucho alcohol for the price, and it's yummy. I see nothing wrong with that no matter what your age or your drinking funds.

acousticrock87 01.10.2009 02:20 AM

I only tried one once, and it was the worst thing I ever tasted*. It might have been made poorly, but I can't try it again.

*Except for dill seed.
