This.I'll never have "a" drink. Variety is the spice of life. Sometimes I want a dirty martini, sometimes a Manhattan, sometimes a Margarita, sometimes a Ramos gin fizz. Different locales/situations call for different beverages.
What is it, your period?been on a vodka cranberry kick lately....for the last 2 years

I don't really do mixed drinks anymore as I far prefer beer, but if I do, there's a couple I'll drink even though they are quite girly.White Russian.

Never had one but you convinced me to try it out. Very nice - really enjoyed it.gianmarco said:Toasted Almond -- Very similar to a White Russian, but much better, IMO. It's 2 oz equal parts of Kahlua, Amaretto, and Cream (can use milk) served over ice.
I'm not as experienced as most in here but typically anything with more than 2 ingredients gets in to the "need to make it well" zone. Most of the others (gin and tonic, rum/whiskey and coke) - those are the easy ones as you can keep adding the ingredients together to taste. You can really #### up cocktails with a lot of ingredients if you don't know what you are doing or if you aren't following a recipe. Also, being an alcoholic will also help you not caring about how well they are made.Can all of you recommending cocktails that are great if made well throw out a few that are great even when not made well?
wedding reception test, it won't be made well but can you still enjoy it? Irish whiskey and ginger seems pretty fool proof.Can all of you recommending cocktails that are great if made well throw out a few that are great even when not made well?

If Im someplace where I doubt their ability to concoct a proper drink, usually just keep it simple... you have the simple 'the ingredients are in the name' drinks like whiskey sour, or maybe a brand whiskey and a splash of water or sour, scotch and squeezed lemon, gin 'n tonic.Can all of you recommending cocktails that are great if made well throw out a few that are great even when not made well?
Sandeman said:Corpse Reviver II
1 part Hendrik's gin
1 part Grand Marnier
1 part Lillet Blanc
1 part lemon juice (preferably Meyer)
Few drops of absinthe
Shake gently in ice, serve in martini glass with Luxardo cherry. Fantastic.
Awesome cocktail that doesn't get enough love. Same goes to the Corpse Reviver #2.The Last Word
3/4 oz Gin (I like Nolet's)
3/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice
I F!n love these!
Yep, even a fairly simple and classic drink like an Old Fashioned can be garbage. I've mistakenly ordered them at places that were really more beer/wine places (bartender=person that opens a bottle) and definitely regretted it.If Im someplace where I doubt their ability to concoct a proper drink, usually just keep it simple... you have the simple 'the ingredients are in the name' drinks like whiskey sour, or maybe a brand whiskey and a splash of water or sour, scotch and squeezed lemon, gin 'n tonic.Can all of you recommending cocktails that are great if made well throw out a few that are great even when not made well?
After that, if I cant explain the drink in 5-10 seconds, its too much to ask and risk. i.e. Ill order a Tom Collins..' then say either NOT a vodka collins' or list the simple ingredients... brand of fin, some lemon/suger/lime mix (not being picky, assuming the worst) and a splash of soda. Easier yet order a gimlet, two ingredients.
Makers/Herman Marshal Rye if I can get it.Old fashioned guys - how do you make yours? I looked online and got confused by the various methods.
Oh and G+T for me (43)
Same here except I usually go with Bulleit Rye or Buffalo Trace.Makers/Herman Marshal Rye if I can get it.Old fashioned guys - how do you make yours? I looked online and got confused by the various methods.
Oh and G+T for me (43)
Simple syrup (I eyeball it)
Ango bitters (couple dashes)
LUXARDO cherry (no maraschino), orange peel (not slice)
If no luxardo cherries.. no cherry.

ThisGin & tonic w/lime wedge, Bombay Sapphire. Tastes good, refreshing and hard to screw up.
Used to drink G+T all the time, but a good old fashion hits the spot as a pre-dinner cocktail every time. The only real way to mess them up is by putting soda in it (it happens).When I'm making them home I have all the time I need, so I actually use two glasses. Pour 3 oz of makers or your bourbon of choice (I like bulleit too) over ice in one glass to chill it. In the other glass, I put a tiny tiny splash of water and then muddle the sugar cube with it. I don't like using simple syrup as a sugar alternative even though it's easier. After muddled, I drop in 3-4 dashes of angostura bitters. Then I squeeze (not muddle) an orange wedge and a cherry, and drop those in the bottom of the glass. Then I pour the bourbon and ice over everything, shake a bit, and enjoy. Sometimes may need to add some water to smooth it out a bit. Depends on my mood hahaOld fashioned guys - how do you make yours? I looked online and got confused by the various methods.

I mix it up depending on mood and venue, but those are my favorites.For cocktails: G&T, Dark & Stormy, Moscow Mule are probably my favorites.

About two years ago I discovered Luxardo cherries. Pricey, but worth every penny. Holy crap they're good. Completely agree with you on them vs. a maraschino.Makers/Herman Marshal Rye if I can get it.Old fashioned guys - how do you make yours? I looked online and got confused by the various methods.
