Mr. Mojo Risin' Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Here's something I created. "Turkey Trot" In a rock glass: 2 shots Wild Turkey Near fill with Sprite/7-Up Splash of Cranberry Juice Sounds horrible, but it actually tastes decent, except the texture is a little odd. However, on the bright side, it'll get ya drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm boring; gin and tonic for me. Or gimlets, which is gin and lime juice. Long Island iced teas if you want to get bombed real fast Idk, what kind of liquor is your forte? I like gin (obv.) and tequilla, but usually for shots.

Depends on my mood, really, and where friends choose to go. I'm good with anything from beer at a pub to a martini from a martini bar. I guess I prefer simple drinks though like a screwdriver (oj and vodka), etc. Or wine. But that's more reserved for a dinner. Anyway.... If you want to make drinks at home then I'd invest in a good bar book otherwise, just ask what your friends recommend when you go out or get what they're getting. Jager! I can't stand the stuff! Tastes like licorice flavored cough syrup. Ick. A friend of mine loves the stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubled_mystic Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 when drinking cocktails I tend to lean heavy on vodka, hence my favorite mixed drinks are vodka gimlets (vodka and lime juice ina 1-3 ratio, shaken with ice and strained), harvey wallbangers (basically a screw driver with a floating of Galliano on top) and vodka martinis (1-1 ratio and dry vermouth). I also love vodka shots with just a touch of black pepper. Best way to find the drinks you like best is to experiment, if you like a certain kind of liquor, try things made with that as the base spirit, that also have flavors or mixes you like. If you know you hate granadine, avoid the tequilla sunrise, if you like mint and bourbon, try a mint julip (if only I could find mint sprigs in my local grocery stores), and so on. Try a variety of things and see what you really like, best way to go. Of course if you want the easy way, just order a good congac or single malt Scotch. No mixing at home, no worrying of the bartdner knows what they are doing. Just have to worry about whether they have your particular favorite.

-D-RocK- Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 While on my mini-vacation I indulged in a few apres-ski coctails and discovered an intensely delicious new drink....possible my new favorite: Absolut Mandarin (vodka) soda water squirt or lemon juice.

rushbass Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Anything with vodka in it! Tito's Handmade Vodka, Grey Goose, or Absolut is what I prefer / get, based on availability... Mix that with your favorite juice of choice... Or, grab a lemon wedge, pour up a big shot, and let 'er rip! (Lemon Drops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbass Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Back in my younger days... at my favorite bar on the Gulf Coast... they had this "house" specialty drink called the "Super Spook" - talk about getting messed up! It had a little of everything in it - including Everclear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy in moderation. Excellent drink of choice Jack. I love martinis. Martinis and gin and tonics tie for second place. But my favorite drink (at the moment) is a Lemon Drop made with vanilla vodka, served in a martini glass with sugar around the rim. I have a favorite bar here that serves the best ones. They're sooooooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my lemon drops straight up in a shot glass, with a little sugar around the rim, and a lemon wedge to bit afterwards... Have you tried Tito's Handmade Vodka??? This stuff is so smooth, and drinks like water straight! http://www.titos-vodka.com - It is distilled 6 times, and has won the Double Gold award at the World Spirits Competion (voted unanimously #1 over 70 other international vodkas)! If you can get a hold of it in your area, give it a try! Careful, though, it will catch up with you before you know it... I can't even tell you how many I had this last Friday (lost count!)...

Thanks! I'm in need of good vodka. I need to be able to make these drinks for my friends on those occasions when we have a night in. I like your idea of the lemon drop shot. It would be too easy though to lose track. I kind of like sipping my drink. And I love that they serve it in a martini glass. I feel so sophisticated or something.

Ancient Ways Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 One that I enjoy is the Mongolian Motherf****r. There are different recipes on the web but here is one that gives you an idea of what it entails: 1/4 Oz. Vodka 1/4 Oz. Gin 1/4 Oz. Rum 1/4 Oz. Tequila 1/4 Oz. Triple Sec 1/4 Oz. Southern Comfort 1/4 Oz. Amaretto 1/4 Oz. Wildberry Schnapps Sour Mix Fruit Juice It's also a good icebreaker. Anytime you order this drink a conversation is inevitably started because of the provocative name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
