Vodka martini, lads.

>>13716367
Tequila Sunrise

I'm a fan of the Jack Rose myself.
>>13716367
Great taste.
>>13716630
At least do gin.
>>13717054
Ew.

Mojito’s

Good enough to convince me to start growing mint.

vodka and diet coke


>>13717085
jack rose the guitarist?

>>13717101

>>13717054
I like a nice sunrise.

>>13716367
Gin martini with three olives.

Hemingway Daiquiri

>>13717106
2oz Calvados/Applejack, 1 oz Lemon Juice, 0.5 oz Grenadine.

>>13716367
Old fashioned with simple syrup instead of a sugar cube

>>13717245
Boss uses a sugar cube but I can never get the sugar to dissolve right (put bitters on cube and muddle). Is there something I’m doing wrong or is that the argument for simple syrup?

>>13717260
The sugar never dissolves completely. That's part of the "character" of using sugar.

i like the cuba libre, what booze should i get next? already have white rum and whisky

for me its the cuba libre, what booze should i get next? already have white rum and whisky

>>13716367
I don't drink cocktails or mix drinks.

For me, it's the Manhattan

White Russians are like getting drunk on milk shakes. Creamy vomit after drinking too many is rough tho

Dive bar? Whiskey sours
Decent bar? Moscow mule/white russian/darknstormy
Upscale bar? Ask for specials

>>13717101
im too stupid to make them properly teach me your secrets
theyre so good

>>13718521
Muddle mint and lime then add ice then add rum and soda water add simple syrup to taste, garnish with lime and mint

>>13717431
If you're used to using limes for cocktails, you could try gimlets with some vodka.

>>13717156
What's your preferred rum for that? I know that a Martinique is traditional, but the only white rhum agricole I've ever seen in stores is Barbancourt.

For me it’s white russian

>>13717584
White Russians aren't a drink I'd try to get drunk off of. I'd drink one and switch to black russians after that.

>>13719205
Yeah for me it’s a one off when I just want to sit down and relax

>>13716367

French 75

>>13718521
Half a lime, and cut into thirds. Put 1/3 in shaker with 7-10 mint leaves and as much sugar as you’d put in your coffee plus a little shake more. Muddle that thoroughly. Then, add the other 2/3 and muddle them into the mix. Add ice and rum (2 big shots or more), cover your shaker, and shake the fuck out of it. Then, pour into glass, fill it close to the top with club soda, and stir.
wa la

If I disliked Manhattan I made with Martini Rosso, should I even bother getting a clear vermouth for martini/negroni or will I dislike those too? Because the Rosso kinda smelled and tasted like shit. But surely those drinks aren't hyped for nothing?

>>13716367
For me, its the vodka and water

>>13716367
The travon Martin

A can of Vanilla Coke Zero and 3 Shots of Wild Turkey 101 in my Friday cup.

Virgin dirty martini.

>>13720421
Vanilla Coke master race

Negroni with orange bitters.

>>13720421
Shitty drink. Based kitty.

>>13716367
Long Island Iced Tea

>>13717260
The first recipe I looked up used simple syrup, so that’s what I’ve been doing. A ton of other drinks also use simple syrup while the only one I know of that uses a sugar cube is the old fashioned.

>>13720520
Switch out the Martini&Rossi for Carpano Antica Formula or Punt e Mes. I'd also use bourbon instead of gin, but that's just me.

>>13717101

oof, too much sugar. I'll drink one, but then get me something dry, stat

>>13720520

There's a nice drink. Nothing wrong with a campari & gin either.

>>13716630
That defeats the whole purpose of a martini. At least gin has flavor.

>>13720869
>He fell for the vermouth is bad meme.

>>13720791
Bourbon instead of gin makes it a boulevardier

>>13719469
>>13717110
>>13717101
>>13720797
>>13718521
You boys ever had a raspberry mojito before? They're delightful

>>13720915
You dumb fuck, you absolute tool, you bumbling idiot, fuck you.
A martini is made with vermouth and gin. I said VODKA martinis suck.

>>13717313
Fucking pretentious

>>13720958
Got a recipe?

Is anyone here into Tiki? I've started taking a bit of inspiration from Tiki cocktails (which are actually quite delightful) and making modifications to classic cocktails based on things from Tiki (such as spiced syrups).
>>13720520
Negronis are a classic. It's also a great base for modifications, since it's very clearly separated into spirit, bitter liqueur, aromatized wine.
>>13720940
I prefer using rye for a boulevardier.
>>13720915
The entire point of a martini is the interplay between the botanicals in the gin and the botanicals in the vermouth. Also I can just drink vermouth straight, I love that shit.

>>13716367
Gin an tonic
Its gin
Its tonic
What else do you need

>>13721333
Not him, but:
>1 oz lime juice
>1 oz raspberry syrup (simple syrup with raspberries in it, I use it for Clover Clubs)
>2 oz rum (feel free to use multiple rums here, aim for Puerto Rican/Cuban rums, just make sure that they're not spiced)
>mint to taste
>seltzer to top it
>muddle the mint, lime juice and raspberry syrup in the cup
>add rum
>add ice
>add seltzer
>stir to dilute and incorporate

For me its an old fashioned with bulleit rye

>>13721343
Oh, shit, forgot about mentioning about the raspberry syrup - just make simple syrup with some raspberries in it, and stir vigorously. As soon as there are no more sugar crystals, turn the heat off, let it cool, add a touch of vodka for it to keep, consume over the course of the next month (it tastes great on lemonades).

>>13717431
For cocktails: gin.

>>13720128
Martini Rosso is sweet vermouth (Italian), it's used for the Negroni, the Star, the Manhattan, the Bronx, etc. The dry vermouth (French) is used for the Martini, primarily. If you disliked the Manhattan, that's on you. I could probably get more in-depth if I knew what exactly you did with the Manhattan and what you disliked on the Manhattan; I love them myself. And also, what do you like?

>>13717156
Good man.

>>13716367

Kamikazes are tasty and refreshing.

>>13721425

Long Island Ice Teas are good but are just too easy to drink and will fuck you up.

>>13717260
>>13717313

Sugar's not supposed to dissolve completely is correct. Add's texture.
I like to drop a lump of brown sugar in mine, let it stay mostly granulated in the drink.

If I wasn't such a lazy piece of shit I'd work to make one drink every weekend just for practice but I'd rather do anything else than prepare something.

>>13717260
Sugar is a relic of when the old fashioned was a warm drink, since iced drinks were almost exclusively juleps. Sugar doesn't dissolve in cold water and so now simple or raw sugar syrup should be used.

>>13716367
Margaritas are always nice.

If I'm at home it's usually an old fashioned or a cowboy though, since I don't have the space for a shaker atm.

>>13721563
I will need to try it with brown sugar.

Blue Hawaiian is pretty kino.
1 oz. White rum
1 oz. Blue curacao
1 oz. Coconut milk
2 oz. Pineapple juice
Combine and shake with ice for 30 seconds, strain into glass.

>>13718995
I'm using Havana Club 3. Not a fan of rhum agricole though.

I'm a basic bitch, I love me an old fashioned with Bourbon or Pappy Van Winkle.
In terms of more "exotic", I can go for a mojito in the summer

>>13716367
Cocktails are for fags, that's why it has cock the name

>>13721338
A bit of lime or bitters really livens it up.

>>13717566
This, but a double on the rocks.

For me, it's the Boulevardier

>>13722088
t. a non alcoholic

Get out of here bro let us enjoy being miserable

>>13722284
>pathetic, wretched alkies
>bothering with mixing

Moscow mule

I like Corpse Reviver #2s. There's a variant called a Sunflower which subs the lillet/cocci American for St Germaine although I have not tried this yet.

Gin and Tonic. I'm a simple man.

>>13716367
For me, it's the Moscow mule.

My local bar in Montana makes a fucking god tier mule-like cocktail using Bacardi Dragonberry.

Say when you get it.

>>13722456
Mule implies he's smuggling drugs for the Cartels though.

>>13719337
Ohhhh shitt now we're cooking with gas

>>13722458
ok

>>13722456
I get it what you're trying to say, but it's neither funny nor accurate..

>>13722284
Nah, I'm an alcoholic. Hell, I'm drunk right now. I drink bourbon straight. That's the only thing I drink. Ever.
