Your Favorite Cocktail!?

[yeahfairly]

Huh........ I am in Afghanistan..... Right now I would settle for a bottle of Aqua Velva and a loaf of bread!

Ordinarily... my go-to would be a "Salty Dawg" with Pinnacle Vodka, Grapefruit juice and salt or a good Ocean Spray Cranberry and Vodka!

 

[DrunkleJon]

Geez man, I don't want everyone to think I'm a drunk!

haha

And what is wrong with that?

My favorite...

Cocktail glass filled with fresh, clean ice.
Pour Bombay Sapphire Gin over ice until glass is almost full.
Pick up dry vermouth bottle, and move to within 10 inches of the gin glass.
Then, RETURN the dry vermouth bottle to its place.
Lift the Bombay Sapphire Gin glass to lips and gently...G-E-N-T-L-Y...sip the deliciousness!

Why no olives? Because they take up room that the gin can occupy, silly!

Well, if you really want to call it that, OK.

Today it's -12*F, so today I think my fav is hot buttered rum.

[Phoenix7801]

Cocktail called a Godfather. It calls for equal parts bourbon and amaretto on the rocks.

 

[danielofthedale]

A rye old fashioned. My favorite is from a tapas restaurant that uses bacon infused rye, maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and twists of lemon and orange.

 

[Jacob_Marley]

Wait, I always thought you were supposed to open the bottle of vermouth and just wave it over your glass

I've heard you can also just introduce them to each other: "Beefeaters Gin, I'd like to to meet vermouth, vermouth I'd like you to meet gin ... "

or for the very dryest martini ... lean over the glass of gin and just whisper "vermouth".

 

[motobrewer]

see.....

why do people insist on calling gin on the rocks a martini? i don't understand it.

this whole "wave the vermouth bottle over the glass" thing is so ridiculious. a martini is a cocktail - 3.5 to 1. adjust from there. but don't remove.

if you want gin, call it gin.

Campari and soda.

As much as I try, I just can't enjoy the taste of Campari. I have an aunt who loves it, and I drink it with her whenever I see her. Still don't like the taste.

Just made myself a drink with 3 shots sweet & sour mix and 1.5 shots vanilla vodka. Added ice & stirred.

Pretty awesome night cap.

 

[Valtyr]

Blacktooth Grin - Crown with a splash of Coke

Also fond of White Russians, Irish Car Bombs, AMF, and a good margarita.

 

[StonesBally]

Harvey Wallbanger. 1 part vodka, 2 parts orange juice (fresh squeezed is best) stirred together with plenty of ice and a float of Galiano on the top. An awesome morning/brunch drink. Also great before football games instead of beer to reduce trips to the bathroom.

It's an acquired taste. Or not. I can't wrap my brain around Jaegermeister.

While my family was still coming to this country in the late 1920's through the late 1950's from Germany ... Jagermeister was a main family beverage with the older folks.
I still like it a lot.

Has anyone here ever had something called Underberg?

Underberg tastes very much like Jagermeister but is 90*proof and has no sweetness at all (if you can imagine that). When I was a kid we used to call it "German truth serum" because if you claimed you had a stomach ache and could not go to school you were probably going to have to suffer through a dose of either Underberg or Paregoric ... both equally horrible at the time.

Now, Underberg is one of my very favorite aperitifs. How tastes change.

Same here.

Sometimes, I can convince myself that I both like and appreciate the complex flavor.

Other times, I am convinced that I'm drinking a cocktail of harsh industrial chemical solvents.

 

[danorocks17]

I like Canadian whiskey Manhattans.

one part whiskey
1/2 sweet vermouth
4-5 drops of bitter
over rocks

that's it.

 

[JDGator]

if i'm going to drink anything besides beer, it's usually a Caesar in the summer with Clamato juice!
