Aviation. I like gin and I donβt care for bitter much.
I've invited one based on my taste for palomas and pisco sour. El Condor:
- 1oz of Tequila or Mezcal
- 1oz of Pisco (Peruvian)
- 0.5oz Syrup Agave (you can find it in the muesli section) or simple syrup
- 2oz Lime juice
- 2oz grapefruit juice
- 1 Eggwhite to shake if you like it more smooth
- chili salt rim or chilistring garnish
Probably the best cocktail I did so far.
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.
Jameson Whiskey
Ginger Ale
Ice
Squeeze of lime
Lime slices
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
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 aΓ±ejo 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")
My favorite margarita is just 2oz tequila (yes aΓ±ejo or reposado), 1oz orange liqueur, juice of one lime. No sweetener, the liqueur provides enough sweetness.
i love fruity drinks, pina colada is my favorite but bartenders hate making it so i just go for whatever cocktail has coconut or pineapple flavor
Pineapple juice, whiskey, and a squeeze of lime is so much better than it should be.
Depending on how much money I've got, either rum and soda or vodka-martini.
That's for drinking at home, getting pantsdrunk.
Moonlight Vodka Martini (own recipe)
- Two shots of Skyy vodka
- Dolin Dry Vermouth
- Dash of Grand Marnier
- Jigger of seltzer water
- Quick shake with a lot of crushed ice
- Garnished with garlic-stuffed green olive

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

0.5 oz aperol
3 oz pineapple juice
2 oz Squirt soda

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

Tie between Pisco Sour and Bloody Mary. Usually a night drinking the former will lead to the latter the next day.
Sub "Caesar" for "Bloody Mary" and I'm down.
