Favorite mixed drink?

I'm posting a lot lately but hey, I've been bored, what can I say?

My favorite is plain and simple, gin & tonic using Bombay Sapphire. Nothing really completes a day like one o' those! :D I also like cosmo's from time to time. I don't know a whole lot of mixed drinks, so if ya'll can chime in on your favorites I'd love to hear them. :carouse:

Does it have to be mixed?

Silly Jerhart, I do believe there was a beer thread in the not too distant past! :rolleyes: :D

Tonic tastes like urine!

I have a few favorites. Drinking is one of my many hobbies.

V.O. and water
Crown and ice cubes
Jack and a splash of water
V.O. Gold and ice cubes
Jack and ginger
Jack and club soda
Absolute and club soda with a lime
Vox and a tsp of olive juice, chilled
Vox and a glass, chilled
Kettle One and a glass, chilled
Kettle One and a lime wedge
Jack and chocolate milk
V.O. and chocolate milk
Grey Goose, chilled with a tsp of olive juice
Coffee and Jack
Coffee, cream and Absolut
Pilsner Urquell, 151, and Strawberry Kiwi Boones Farm, served in a beer bong in that order

I have 2 depending on my mood lol, Southern Comfort & coke shots. Patron ritas :)

im a bud light lime on warm days or a straight up Patron drinker and if i cant get patron when sold out i buy 1800

Jager Bomb!!!! WOOOOO!

Sorry to change the subject, but something that I hate seeing more than anything else at a place where alcohol is served, is seeing some snooty broad, or even worse, some cross-eyed meat head ordering a delicious alcohol, than adding, "and cranberry", or "and 7-Up", or "and coke", or "and lemonade".

If you want a vodka and cranberry, or a whiskey and coke, etcetera, etcetera, don't get the $9 a shot, top shelf, delicious spirits. You don't look cool, and you definitely can't taste the difference between an Absolut and cranberry and Sprite, and a Grey Goose and Cranberry and Sprite, or a Johnny Walker Black Label and Coke and a Jim Beam and Coke. I'm not saying that people should get the house or bottom shelf spirit when they order a cocktail, but to order a delicious spirit, that deserves to be savored either on it's own, or with a splash of water, and dilute it with a bunch of fruity, syrupy, sugary crap makes you look like a freaking dipspit. That drives me absolutely crazy when I see that.

Sorry, back to the topic.

i'm guessing lots of things anger you...

anything with Vodka.

I agree with Wallace, I have two vodkas in my freezer ... Grey Goose and whatever is cheap at the time, one for drinking straight and the other for mixing.

You can't go wrong with a margarita IMO. Especially in the summer. For me its a little slice of heaven here on earth.

Oh my has to be a good old Rusty Nail. Been drinking those for years. Drink came from the 1920s. Its 1 1/2 oz of Scotch and 1/2 oz of Drambuie poured into a glass of ice. Be back later. Im going to make one now!

Hardly anything angers me. I'm usually super mellow, but ruining good liquor really grinds my gears. We had seen a group over the weekend ordering all Kettle One and Grey Goose cocktails mixed with juices, grenadine and 7-Up and we started talking about what a waste it was. I was drinking V.O. last night, so I was reminded of it.

Any with alcohol in them :) I like Cosmos, though.

I love margaritas!!!

long island tea, hands down.

I usually like shots of Captain, or SoCo on the rocks. For mixed drinks, it's Sea Breezes!

x2...these and shotgunning PBR's are about the only thing that get it done for me.

At home I mostly drink PBRs (and I'd say I'm usually shotgunning them)

Out at the bar it's 1 of 3 things..

Canadian (for beer)
whiskey sour
vodka & redbull

henny and coke ,pink lemonade and patron= yummy

G&T, usually prefer tanq

I am presently mixing it up with my good friend menage trois!

Good wine!

In the summer heat, I've found a new obsession... Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka with water... Mmmmmmm....

Well, I'm underage, so, I shouldn't know...:oops: Lol, my parents give me like a drop of their drinks every once in a while, and, from what I've tasted, I like their Tom Collins.:rolleyes:

Mine is plain vodka and cranberry.

Also I like to spice it up from time to time with passionfruit vodka and plain normal fresca. It's amazing!
Another amazing drink is to get blueberry vodka and cranberry juice.

MMM mmm MM!

Vodka and Cranberry

Well, I don't really drink much, other than S'Buck's Nonfat Iced Chai Latte, but Amaretto Sour w/ a cherry on top would have to be my favorite. Yum!

Whiskey or Rye and Ginger with lemon or lime.
GOOD vodka mixed with GOOD OJ. Say what you will about mixing high quality spirits, but I buy fresh squeezed OJ (not the from concentrate garbage) to mix with it.
Making a screwdriver with inferior ingredients is a waste of time, and a good way to ruin one of my favorite drinks.

Also;
SHOTGUNNING PBR IS TOTALLY A MIXED DRINK. Also, Old Style Pil.

I have a few favs.

Beer : Stella Artois
Sam Adams Boston Lager
Bud Light
High Life :)
Miller Lite
Schwelmer

Mixed : Long Island
Blue Motorcycle
Purple Rain
Crown
Crown and Coke
Jack
Jack and Coke
Liquid Cocaine
Starry Nights
Shots of 151
and the dreaded green demon... Absinthe

I am too young to drink but my dad lets me try his baileys mixed with hot chocolate and it was pretty good!But 30 proof isn't that bad :)

You are so freaking right, I can not tell!!!
Seeing people mixing up Grey goose or Russian Standard Platinum with Red Bull...:rolleye2:
Same with people ordering super good single malt whiskeys "on the rocks"...:rage:
My favourite mixes are:
a) Caipirinha:nicer in the summer
b) Bourbon X Ginger Ale
c) Beer X Fassbrause (a german lemonade),only when it is really hot outside and I do not want to get to drunk, except this my rule is "No cranberry, no coke, no anything... BEER!"

say what you want, but if i'm making up my Margarita mix, i'm not using low end El Toro Tequila, i at least make sure its Agave Tequila and not just flavored grain alcohol. I won't use anything worse than 1800 tequila. Nothing wrong with using good booze.

Vodka and tonic with lime would have to be a favorite for me. Or gin and juice (diet lipton rasberry iced tea) somethin about the diet stuff makes it so you can add a lot of alcohol and not taste it very much :D

If I'm making margs, then I'll use good stuff, nice tequila, brandy, cointreau, fresh squeezed lime juice..But you won't find me making a margarita with packaged mix and patron...that's for sure

i never have. but my recipe is a family secret, that i had to needle my dad for YEARS in order to get.

Well its a shot but the Red headed slut (mods feel free to change the name if its too much) does it for me. Peach schnapps, jager, and cranberry. I tried the drink version but it was lame. Shots much better. Tastes like that pink medicine you get for ear infections. I believe it was amoxicillin tasted like bubblegum. yummy. And beer would be Warsteiner Pilsner and the Dunkel.

Please tell me im wrong in assuming PBR is pasbst blue ribbon. Might as well drink water. Horrible even worse then bud light. Although thos bud limes arent too bad.

PBR is a disgrace to beer. nasty nasty stuff. i'd take Strohs over PBR.

A good vodka paralyzer or an after eight (creme de cacao , creme de menthe and milk on ice)

Yes, PBR = Pabst Blue Ribbon...while I agree that it is not a very high quality beer, they are cheap and do contain alcohol. IMO PBR is better than bud light and light years a head of bud light with lime, which tastes like carbonated lime juice and I about threw up as soon as the only one I have ever consumed touched my lips.

For those of you who have seen Gran Torino...If it's good enough for Clint, then it's good enough for me. But seriously, I've never had Stroh's, but as far as light beer goes PBR is the best there is, Miller, Bud & Coors light are all way over priced and taste the exact same. Sure, I would love to drink beers that are $10 a 4 pack every night, but this just isn't feasible. So I stick with beers that are $10 a 24 pack

Light beers aren't beers at all. Beer has flavor. Thats why I prefer imported beers. They are so delicious. But hey if your drinking that to save a buck I can understand that. I used to drink King Cobra lol. You will move on some day as I did. You don't know what your missing. hehe.

That's the thing...I do know what I'm missing. Flying Dog, Chimay, Terrapin and Sweet Water breweries are all fantastic(jus what I thought of off the top of my head) and I drink them at every opportunity I get. That's just usually when I'm with my parents or my sister.
