[maveric]

I love my Seven & Seven's. They taste good, go down easy and get you there.
Whats yours?

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. My fave cocktail is the Martini. My fave mixed drink is the Gin and Tonic.

[sniffa]

2. new favorite = margarita, frozen, saLted gLass

oLd favorite (probabLy tied) = dirty martini.

[Loonman]

3. White Russian or mudslide

Or Frangelico & Baileys.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Pina Colada

:9

[Shell Beau]

5. Margarita

[Rising Phoenix]

6. screwdriver...yum

[jane_pippin]

7. Jack & Coke or brandy old fashioned sweet

Manhattans are good too, come to think of it.

But 99% of the time I order Jack & Coke.

[maveric]

13. You mix Jack Daniels?? OMG! Never do that!

Thats sippin whiskey. I did that once with my Dad and he almost had a coronary!

[jane_pippin]

16. Are you my brother? Because MY dad said the same thing to me!

He had a fit too.
Which means they're probably right, but too bad. I do shots of it, which better be enough to keep him off my back about it.

(it won't be).

[SteppingRazor]

18. No, you dads aren't right...

They're just cheap :evilgrin:

[jane_pippin]

21. Well yeah. They're dads.

:D

[jakefrep]

38. You're right...

...a client brought in a bottle of high-end whiskey (Chivas Regal?)for my dad and told him: "This is the good stuff you drink straight or on the rocks. You want to mix it? Buy the cheap shit."

[SteppingRazor]

40. Chivas is pretty good. I'll drink it on the rocks, but no mixers...

it's actually my day-to-day scotch of choice.

When you go higher-end than that (your Oban, Cragganmore, MacCallan, etc.), I'll throw in a cube or two of ice, but that's it.

[SteppingRazor]

17. Glenfidditch 15-year is sippin' whisky...

Jack Daniel's is a mixer.

[SteppingRazor]

14. I'm a Jack and Coke man too....

though, outside of the cocktail world, I'm partial to a good single malt scotch

[jane_pippin]

19. Me too. We finally opened a bottle of single malt that we got

for christmas last year. (I forget what it was called now, but man! was it good).

As far as the dad whiskey controversy, I think there's sippin' whiskey (as in an "ass-pocket of") and then there's sippin' whiskey (as in, "my, what delicious whiskey this is.")

[Squatch]

8. Snakebite or a black-and-tan.

[RubyDuby in GA]

9. Fuzzy Navel

Peach Schnapps and OJ.
Yummy goodness!

[redqueen]

10. Appletinis or Tom Collinses

Is "Collinses" the proper plural for that?

:shrug:

[bleedingheart]

42. I have grown fond of appletinis too...

they are tasty...

[redqueen]

47. Aren't they though?

I have to drink slowly or I'll end up downing too many. Mmmm mmmm!

[bleedingheart]

54. I made one for me and the hubby and just one made him tipsy...

I used marachino cherries as a garnish...more festive for the season...hahahaha

[Hugin]

11. Strawberry smoothie, served at a swim up bar in the Caribbean.

'Nuff said.

[Dark]

12. Anything with alcohol. I'm under 21, so I can't be picky. n/t

[johnnie]

15. Mine is

Water, barley, hops and yeast.

[swag]

20. Either a Cape Cod or an unsweetned vodka gimlet.

[cfield]

22. Amaretto Sour

but I'll drink Seven & Seven (usually Seven & Sprite) with my husband. I also love frozen strawberry margaritas and screwdrivers!

[Initech]

23. Dirty martinis

[Left Is Write]

24. Vodka martini or, in the summer, a margarita on the rocks.

[GumboYaYa]

25. Dark & Stormy, dark rum with Ginger beer......

It tastes great on a hot summer day.

[miss_american_pie]

26. lemon drop

[redqueen]

44. Those are tasty!

:9

[Wapsie B]

27. A Rusty Nail

warms me right up. Tequila Sunrise is good if I want a sweeter drink.

[VelmaD]

28. Apple Martinis...

and Cosmopolitans. Pretty much anything with fruit juice and vodka will do though. :)

[redqueen]

45. You too?

Actually I'm not so big on the Cosmos, but Apppletini's... yes!

[Taverner]

58. Um, an Apple Martini IS NOT A FRICKEN MARTINI!!!!!

How many times do I gotta say this.

A Martini is made up of gin, vermouth (dry) and an olive. It may come shaken or stirred. you may add a lemon twist to it. Some argue you might even add vodka to it, but it MUST HAVE GIN!!!!!

A Martini with an onion is not a Martini, it is a Gibson. A martini with apple juice and vodka is apple juice and vodka, not a martini.

Sheesh!

[MN ChimpH8R]

29. A Stolichnaya martini

painfully dry, shaken, with two blue-cheese stuffed olives is my favorite cocktail.

The White Dirty Mother is my favorite mixed drink - 2 parts Kahlua, 2 parts cream, 3 parts brandy. Tastes like a mocha milkshake and will get you seriously hammered.

[malta blue]

30. the Mojito...a delicious concoction on a hot summer day. eom

[Bridget Burke]

31. A Top Shelf Margarita, Up!

First encountered at Pico's Mex Mex. The shaker come to the table, so you get another glassful. Sort of like a milk shake. Frozen Margaritas are fun, if less serious.

If I'm SERIOUSLY serious--a Martini.

[Gold Metal Flake]

32. Manhattan, though 7&7 is a close second.

Depends on the mood. I make my 7&7s in a quart fruit jar. Manhattans are prepared traditionally and respectfully.

[anarch]

33. I like the martini recipe attributed to Winston Churchill

"Cast a glance at an unopened bottle of vermouth as you pour the gin."

[BobEPeru]

34. Cuba Libre

Bacardi Gold, Coke (Zero) and lime...a lot of lime. Sliced, squirty, or both.
I also like:
-Jack, and Coke (For color)
-Bushmills-straight
-Hendricks Gin & Tonic w/cucumber slice...which sounds weird, but it's great that way.

[scarlet_owl]

35. Whiskey sour.

[Aristus]

36. Whiskey sour.

When the whiskey's nice and smoooooooooth! :beer:

[WindRavenX]

37. mixed: gin and tonic, Midori sour, Cosmopolitan

(Rabrrrr taught me well that a Cosmo does not equal a cocktail)

[plcdude]

39. Mine is a Gibson

very dry martini with pearl onions.

[Taverner]

49. About the Gibson

what kind of glass is it served in? Martini or Tumbler?

[jakefrep]

41. Hmmm...

Tanqueray & tonic
Campari & soda with a splash of orange or grapefruit juice
Italian Margarita (think amaretto sour w/a shot of tequila)
Bacardi Raz & Coke

[Blue_In_AK]

43. Bloody Mary - it's health food... n/t

[ET Awful]

48. It's tough to beat a properly made Bloody Mary

One of the few cocktails that I will still drink occasionally (for the most part I'm a nondrinker, probably been over a year since I last had alcohol)

I like 'em spicy with tabasco, black pepper, etc. :9

[chookie]

53. That's my fave too

No shortage of lycopene in this house.

[redqueen]

55. Those are tasty, too.

Mmm now I want one.

[Taverner]

46. Margaritas are always my favorie, followed by Gin Martinits

after that its a mix between absynthe and sugar, jack and coke, rum and coke or mojitos.

[m_welby]

50. anything with tequila is just fine.

Love tequila, the good stuff 'reposado' (100% blue agave)

'rita's are nice (with salt), on the rocks or frozen.

Straight up is good too (with lime).


Other than that I pretty much stick to beer.

[Trigger Hippie]

51. Cape Coddahs

It's what I drink all the time. :)

[Ron Mexico]

52. A bottle of Bacardi and a can of Coke. (n/t)

[AlCzervik]

56. Vodka and soda with a twist of lemon, refreshing and no hangover.

[Mr. McD]

57. Maybe a Brandy Alexander though I haven't had one in years.

I prefer Scotch sometimes with ice.:)

[Guava Jelly]

59. Any hot coffee drink

preferably w/ameretto or irish cream

[DanCa]

60. Vodka and Gin. The first night i went drinking,

I said it by mistake because i didn't know how to order boose. I always wanted to try both of these but I didn't know at the time your supposed to order Vodka water, or gin and tonic. I told the bartender to give me a Vodka Gin and wow I woke up twenty four hours later. Now its a staple when i start drinking.

[Shine]

61. Gin and tonic.
