Cocktail?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 6th, 2008 8:54 PM Author: Vermilion supple potus laser beams Alright, I'm typically a beer drinker (Sam Adams) but I would like to add a hard liquor cocktail to my routine for the summer. Nothing girly (martini), fruity (margarita), or childish (whiskey sour/long island ice tea). Please don't suggest wine because that is mostly a dinner drink, cocktails only. Something sophisticated without looking like I'm trying too hard (scotch neat).

Date: May 6th, 2008 9:11 PM Author: umber theatre twinkling uncleanness I don't, I usually take whatever the well is. However I am not a fan of Bombay, it has this too-sweet finish that I can't stand. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=809848&forum_id=2#9744830) |

Date: May 6th, 2008 9:13 PM Author: umber theatre twinkling uncleanness it's usually best not to make your staple drink something you're going to have to explain to every new bartender. Most of them don't even know how to make a southside these days, keep it simple. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=809848&forum_id=2#9744835) |

i personally like whiskey & coke, but that might be too "childish" for you. |

Date: May 6th, 2008 9:06 PM Author: Vermilion supple potus laser beams I've never had a vodka tonic. Interesting suggestion. Probably worth a try. Coke drinks are okay but they're very sweet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=809848&forum_id=2#9744796) |

Date: May 6th, 2008 9:09 PM Author: Dashing toaster yea, they are. can only have a couple, not something to drink all night.
if you like vodka at all (personally my favorite hard liquor), you'll probably like a vodka tonic. like most cocktails, it needs to be made with at least a semi-decent vodka - it'll taste like shit if you're using smirnoff, stolichnaya or god forbid popov.
edit: most places will serve it with a slice of lime |

Date: May 6th, 2008 9:19 PM Author: Cerebral tan goal in life i love gin martinis but they come in what is now basically known as a cosmo glass...
also its a high maintenance drink that requires direction. not good for calling out in a crowded bar or appearing laid back |
