Yes, that's the way to do it. Yum.
Though I haven't really delved into them, I do like the Mojito. The seem dangerous, though... it's a booze with the smoothness of a Sprite. Exercise caution!
I generally have no idea about cocktails or this compulsion to take drinks and pour them into each other. I like my drinks as they are. I'm fond of vodka with a mixer, and beer, of course.
I tend to know what I like, and it really bugs me when people try to get me to try some weird concoction. I don't eat sausages with custard, and I don't want a half dozen drinks poured into a glass.
99% of the names of cocktails mean nothing to me. I honestly have no idea what anyone is talking about when they start gabbling these strange names!

How many of those have you needed to imbibe due to the recent technical problems with ENWorld?

Two great tastes together at last.
Sorry Morrus. Americans like combining things together. I can't say I'd want either of those things, though.

Rum and Coke is probably what I drink most often when talking of cocktails or mixed drinks, but technically I've noted Jack Daniels-whiskey and Coke are possibly better.
Other than that, when I was old enough to drink I had heard of Screwdrivers, since my dad likes them, and Long Island Ice Teas, Fuzzy Navels (my mom liked) and maybe a few others.
But the first cocktail of interest to me was the Alabama Slammer. A friend who was just out of the Marine Corp introduced it on a visit and that particular recipe I liked. I soon discovered not everyone uses the same recipe, but I prefer So Co, Southern Comfort in mine.
I refuse to touch tequila anymore, unless pressured by hot chicks.
Every once in a while something like a martini or Irish Coffee or something weirder will find its way into my liver.
Anybody try a Colbert Bump? Just saw it invented on his show and it looked and sounded drinkable.

Funny thing is...
Most of the first cocktails were invented by British scattered around the world two hundred years ago, mixing liquor (rum or gin, usually) with whatever medicine they needed to take to stave off the local disease (lime juice for scurvy or quinine water for malaria, for example). Ostensibly, it made the medicine taste better, or they perhaps it simply made them too drunk to care what it tasted like.
Oh, and I've also recently grown fond of boilermakers.... Beer and a shot of whiskey. Though I'm not certain you can rightfully call that a cocktail.

In the summer, I like a Gin & Tonic. In the winter, I like an Old Fashioned.
And I like scotch & soda, anytime.

"Just one more José Cuervo", she cooed. "Try it you'll like it." She giggled.
I'm not sure who you hang around with, but I have a feeling it's far more interesting than my parties.
