Cocktail?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 6th, 2008 8:54 PM Author: Henna parlor associate 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).

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: Henna parlor associate 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: drunken skinny woman 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 9:17 PM Author: Stimulating fuchsia elastic band messiness Pretty much correct on the greyhound. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=809848&forum_id=2#9744859) |

Date: May 6th, 2008 9:19 PM Author: Curious generalized bond foreskin 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 |
