What's your favorite cocktail?

[ssampier]

I am a bit of a purest and I like the simplicity of rum and coke. Mojitos are pretty good, too.

With Scotch, I like it on the rocks with a splash of water.

I don't care for vodka or tequila, though. I haven't tried bourbon or traditional whiskey, though.

What cocktails do you prefer?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I like Pina Coladas, Bloody Marys, Mohitos, Caphirenas, Electric Lemonades, Cafe Oscar, Kalhua/Amaretto Milkshakes, June Bugs, Margheritas, Amaretto Sours, Whiskey Sours, Eggnog (spiked with burbon), Burbon w/Lime & Tangerine flavored water, Trash Can Punch, Fuzzy Navels, Screwdrivers...

...and a horde of other drinks whose names I can't remember, that probably had umbrellas in them.

Why, yes, I have been called a "Girl-Drink Drunk"- why do you ask?

That would be the martini... gin or vodka... olives... but not too dirty.

(and absolutely no apple/pear/watermelon/chocolate/bubblegum/chipotle pepper/whatever-the-hell-else-people-use-to-ruin-a-classic-cocktail).

What cocktails do you prefer?

It depends much on the time of year for me...

During the summer, I'm partial to a gin & tonic with lots of ice or a traditional lime daiquiri, similarly with lots of ice.

Harvey wallbanger, Kir, Long Island ice tea.

Tried several varieties of Martini in Vancouver, but wasn't impressed.

Dannyalcatraz,

What, no Appletinis for you, JD?*

Mallus,

I have always wanted to try a traditional Martini. Should I try to make my own or try it at a bar?

* Of course JD on Scrubs is a doctor, not a lawyer

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Oft have I viewed Scrubs and wondered at the flavor of an Appletini...but alas, these days, most of my drinking is confined to my home or the house of whomever is hosting game night.

That means largely beer or wine- which happen to dominate my second fridge- or the simpler cocktails, like rum & coke or whiskey sours.

Same. I saw the Big Lebowski and had to try it. I've never been the same.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I like White Russians...and Black Russians.

Together, they started me on the path to creating the Kalhua/Amaretto Milkshake.

(Which, because the Vodka you add is not in the name, is deceptively powerful...)
