My usuals are the Black Russian and the Gin and Tonic.

Black Russian = 1 jigger vodka, 1 jigger kahlua and coke, in a tall glass.

G&T = 2 jigger gin, a splash of Rose's lemon squash and tonic water, in a tall glass.

Not a specific drink suggestion, but I really love “vector bar”. It’s an app where you can track the ingredients you have on hand, and it will give you recipes based on what you have. It has a lot of other great features, too.

Ice

Tie between Pisco Sour and Bloody Mary. Usually a night drinking the former will lead to the latter the next day.

[–] eightpix@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sub "Caesar" for "Bloody Mary" and I'm down.

Is your mind on your money?

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

And my money on my mind, yes.

I don't usually go for cocktails, but when I do I really like a peaty whiskey sour, or a boilermaker with Guinness or a session IPA and again a peaty whiskey.

I drink beer in the summer, bourbon whiskey in the winter. But I have a holiday tradition, on the solstice I buy myself a bottle of Lairds and spend the rest of the week mixing Jack Roses.

Jack Rose:

  • 1 1/2 ounces applejack or apple brandy
  • 3/4 ounces lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce grenadine

Shake all ingredients until chilled, double strain into a coupe glass, garnish with lemon twist.

You'll basically never find a bar that stocks applejack, so if you want one you'll have to mix your own.

A gin and tonic with Squirt

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've been experimenting with my own, and this one is my new fave.

Jelly Baby

2 oz peach Eddies
0.5 oz aperol
3 oz pineapple juice
2 oz Squirt soda
Splash peach syrup

I love fruity strong cocktails and this one tastes just like jelly babies. It's so good!

Depending on how much money I've got, either rum and soda or vodka-martini.

That's for drinking at home, getting pantsdrunk.

  • French Martini
  • Whisky Mac

The paloma sounds amazing. Thank you.

I'm revisiting the classic Old Fashion. I love it.

Aviation. I like gin and I don’t care for bitter much.

Good whisky, neat

Decent whisky, bitters, club soda, ice in a short glass.

Gin, flavored fizzy (LaCroix etc), splash of lime juice, ice

Gin shaken with ice, small rinse of dry vermouth in glass, 3-4 blue cheese olives

4:3:3:4 añejo tequila, grand Marnier, key west lime juice, honey simple (50/50 honey and water) shaken or blended with ice. (Could sub honey for sugar free sweetener to be "healthy")

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

My favorite margarita is just 2oz tequila (yes añejo or reposado), 1oz orange liqueur, juice of one lime. No sweetener, the liqueur provides enough sweetness.
