That sounds awesome!
Being a college student, my cocktail list is almost non existent. The only thing I drink consistently are White Russians.
I like this thread!
My favorites:
- Gin and Tonic
- Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet
- Amaretto Sour
- Strawberry Daiquiri ^-^
And of course you can't go wrong with a $1.99 Long Island from Applebee's. :P

I've started making my Amaretto Sours with .5oz of bourbon (see here (http://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.com/2012/i-make-the-best-amaretto-sour-in-the-world/)). Damn good stuff.
I am a simple man. When I drink liquor, it is usually bourbon, and it is usually neat. I do like to occasionally grab some cheap bourbon and mix it with this Italian lemon soda. I don't really have a ratio for you, I just eyeball it. :))Show Image(http://chattygourmet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ItalianSodas1.jpg)
vodka tonic for me.
im a simple man.
but im trying to cut down on the drinking because im either a **** or wanna bang you.

Vodka Straight..
I'm telling you guys as a part-time PROFESSIONAL drinker..
By Professional, I've had to drink as part of a job.
All of these mixed drinks, etc, just hinders the amount you can drink, and greatly increase the odds of you throwing up..
I deal with bar girls almost on a daily basis as well, they need to drink beer because that's the typical use-case around here. However, they said if they Had a choice, which they often don't, they would choose to drink straight vodka as well.
Vodka is cleaner, pure and simple.

you drink until you can't taste it, that's my strategy.
Martinis for me. I've been working my way through various gins. Of course, now that the key lime tree is in full production, I'm likely going to pick up some mint and make mojitos.
That said I tend to stick to just straight sipping alcohols. Single malt scotch, bourbon, rum, cognac, Armagnac, calvados. Good stuff.

If you're at any decent bar, they will have vodka in the freezer.. Very cold vodka completely mitigates the alcoholic fumes which is the (awful awful) taste ur refering to...
But overall, if you take shots, it's not so bad..
Bleh. Even "good" vodka doesn't do it for me straight up, even from the freezer. I would rather enjoy some bourbon. Different stroke for different folks I suppose.

Well, then you're getting into the Sn0bbery-esque taste-ing culture..
Apart from the Lets-get-drunk- culture..

Gin is like vodka, and fairly clean tasting, but there are a few I've had that were so perfume-ee that yea, you throw up..

I don't really drink anymore, but I used to like Palomas
The only thing I drink consistently are White Russians.Stop drinking me, I protest :'(

Time for a little thread combination between this one and the breakfast thread and....
Bloody Mary's. Damn those are tasty. A treat every so often at a decent breakfast place that makes them.
If I stir my beer can I call it a cocktail?

I am aware that Germans like to put soda in their beer. Kinda like a shandy.

How about and orange with a blue moon.

Isn't there a drink that's a beer + shot of whiskey? Or at least a beer + shot of some dark liquor. Maybe start mixing that drink, whatever it is. ;)

I used to drink Corana with a shot of Jose Cuervo taquila back when I lived in the dorms. Cheap and effective.
I do like "Irish Car bombs" (Irish Whiskey in a Guinness)
Now this is a thread I can stand behind haha.
I usually drink neat scotch, but a few months back I had a really delicious whiskey drink in DC before a Joe Walsh concert I'm trying to make for an XMAS party this year. It had pecan whiskey, walnut bitters, muddled orange, and a cherry. Finding pecan whiskey has been harder than one would think though. Same with the bitters, though I expected that would be the case, as most flavored seem to be homemade/small batch. I did find http://www.crudebitters.com (actually in my town?!) that had a pecan-magnolia-habanero bitter I may substitute though :rolleyes:

I'll admit, I kinda got sidetracked after the Joe Walsh comment. :-[ I'm only a little jelly.

Out of all the old timers I go see with the pops (CSN, Neil Young, Clapton, Mark Knopfler, whatever) he seems to have the most fun on stage. 10/10 would watch again.
But enough off-topic for this thread, sorry guys. :3

Okay I have now consumed 2/3 of this bottle of Disaronno. It's 0330 local time, so I'm going to go to bed, but I need to know where my cocktail buddies are! What's everyone's xmas cocktail of choice? How drunk are you? Why aren't you still awake? These questions need answers!

Which one of you sissies wants to come take shots of my habanero vodka that has a handful of habanero's and a ghost pepper that have been soaking in it for a few weeks?
Here's the recipe for my favorite drink:
Step 1. Pour single malt scotch into a clean glass. No ice. Men drink their scotch neat.
Step 2. Drink your scotch and shut up.
is pouring lots of vodka into a glass and covering it up with orange juice a cocktail?

Yesss, Bloody Mary's are great. :thumb:
Made this last weekend for me and my girlfriend. Absolutely sublime.
Siberian Mule
2 Shots vodka
1/2 Bottle Ginger Beer
Splash of Angostura Bitters
Scoop of Lime Sorbet
Mint Leaves for garnish.
Refreshing and delicious
I like your old fashioned. My favorite at the moment:
2oz Four Roses Bourbon
1 dash bitter truth orange bitters (waaaaaaay better than angostura orange)
1 dash woodford reserve spiced cherry bitters
1/4oz 2:1 Demerara simple
Quick stir with ice to chill, pour over a big cube.
Express orange peel (I like dropping it in the glass, but requires that you do a good job of avoiding pith)

I've been rocking the "Old Thymer"lately, a slight twist on the old fashioned. Thyme, lemon, orange peel, angostura bitters, vermouth, bourbon. So delicious. I'll definitely try out those bitters though.

Damn. An Old Fashion has been on my list of drinks to try of late. Getting to a place that can make a good one, though, has been tricky. Might just end up picking up the ingredients to make one myself.
Tonight: Cures Light Wounds
2oz Rye
1/4oz Fernet Branca
1/4oz Maple Syrup
1 dash orange bitters
1 dash bitter truth old time aromatic bitters
Shake, top with ginger beer
I've been really into bourbon Mint Old Fashioned's lately. What an overlooked drink, they are exquisitely simple and refreshing.
noisyturtle's Double Mint Old Fashioned:
about 4oz. Bourbon - or about 5 jigger's
1-2 packet(s) of raw cane sugar to preference - granulated will completely ruin the drink
5-6 dashes of aromatic bitters (for a double)
a couple pinches of mint leaves -7 or 8 should do
1 orange twist
muddle the cane sugar + bitters + mint + bourbon until the sugar's mostly dissipated and the bourbon's nice and cloudy
serve in a tumbler over ice and add an orange peel/twist
Bask in the sophistication of something so seemingly simple yet complex.
