Shirley Temple :)

Bee's knees, also one of my favorites.

this but without the syrup or lemon or ice and also the coffee is hot

>>16443367
Made a Violet Fizz a while back, tasty as hell, looks cool as fuck too.

No

>>16443367
Scotch - neat if high quality 3 rocks if not.
I also really like dirty vodka martinis even if they are almost 100% consumed by women.

>>16443367
I just got back from an all-inclusive resort and one of the restaurants had a particularly good bar and bartender. I tried a ton of drinks I've never had and likely would never order at the kinds of bars I go to including

>aperol spritz
>old.fashioned
>tom Collins
>Sambuca (lit on fire)
>negroni
>dark & stormy
>Cuba Libre
>Manhattan

The negroni was among my favorites but I also really like sambuca as a dessert liqueur. Tastes like licorice

>>16443436
-OP
Love Martinis but can't stand olive water.

>>16443452
I was at a lot of all inclusive resorts but never could meet a bartender who could mix good classic cocktails, just the typical alcohol with juice mixing.

>>16443454
I was gonna include extremely spicy bloody mary's too, but i figured 1 faggy, salty drink was enough.

>>16443463
Love bloody marries too.
New to whisky so I only tasted some bourbon and don't know any scotch whiskys yet. Favorite bourbon is bufallo trace and for an old fashioned wild turkey 101.

yea i like cocktails, my favourite one is this shit (or the blue raspberry one) mixed with a smoky reposado tequila

>>16443436
And not one women I know would ever enjoy a martini. It would be way to strong for them. My female friends only like cocktails, that don't taste like alcohol at all.

>>16443481
Dunno if you live near a cosco but they actually have a house brand (kirkland) scotch that is surprisingly smooth. It's not going to hold a candle to the really god scotches, and any brown liquor snob will tell me that I'm fucking retarded, but if not being mixed and at that price point it's a no brainer to pick up a bottle.
>>16443488
gotta be from bond movies then.....I think there's just something feminine about a martini glass

>>16443367
I've been doing black negronis/boulevardiers and manhattans lately (trying to find uses for the amaro I picked up), and a lot of tiki/fruity drinks because it's hot out, and I like fruit juice with my rum.
I might have some absinthe after dinner... it seems an over-proofed, cloudy cocktail in a dark basement, listening to jazz kind of evening.

>>16443496
I know a few who will drink dirty vodka martinis with very little vermouth, but at that point, why not just see if you can get a takeout cup of the olives, and get a vodka and tonic/soda?

OPs bar

>>16443496
I am from Germany, so no Costco here.
Wanted to try Monkey Shoulder.

>spiced rum
>lemon juice
>water
>sugar
The vanilla notes of the spiced rum clash with the lemon juice and make the drink taste like medicine. These are the only ingredients I have though and I'm long past the point of caring.

>>16443549
Diluted daiquiri

>>16443549
>>16443566
Ah no, daiquiri are made with lime juice. Fits perfect with rum.

Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour (no egg), and Sidecar

I enjoy a Martinez but I have never seen it anywhere on a menu so I normally make it at home for dinner parties. Its almost a cross between a Martini and a Manhattan.

With the current heat I have been day drinking whilst working from home. Gin, tonic/lemonade, mint and a splash of homemade rhubarb cordial. Served long over ice.

>>16443367
>What are you guys shaking up?
liquor, regrets and solemn resignation make a nice drink

>>16443375
good pick

>>16443682
Do you do the Martinez with maraschino?
Don't know if it's worth coping because it's not in many drinks.

>>16443676
Good choice, but the egg gives the whisky sour a smoothness, I don't want to miss.

>>16443702
Maraschino is in a ton of drinks, you also tend to use only a barspoon. It's worth getting a small bottle at least if you want to test out the flavor.

>>16443367
>faggos

australian or the "t" is broken on your keyboard

>>16443702
Yes. I picked up a bottle on sale online a long while ago. However, Ive not found anything else to use it in so i havent got through much of it. Im sure there are other drinks out there though.

Its a great cocktail though and plenty of uses for the other ingredients too so its worth getting.

>>16443532
You should refrigerate that vermouth. Unless you plan on drinking it all soon.

>>16443535
I liked it
kind of nutty

>>16443367
Reccomend me some cocktails based of my alc collection guys I'm boring and just drink martinis all day.

>>16443822
If you can get a bottle of simple syrup you can make tons of drinks.

>>16443835
>bottle of simple syrup
just boil sugar and water guy

>>16443822
Sazerac or Manhattan.

>>16443367
>new to 4chins
>faggots
pick one

been on a gin and tonic run recently

>>16443822
just make a long island ice tea and get annihilated

>>16443367
For me, it's an Aviation

>>16444145
I can't get creme de violette here. I'm going to go cry into my black manhattan.

>>16443367
For me, its the boulevardier. it's basically a negroni but with bourbon instead of gin

>>16444179

>>16444170
Why not order online and get it shipped to you?

>>16443835
>>16443822
It's just boiled sugar, no need to buy it

>>16444183
I'm not sure if our liquor laws allow for such things. I'll see if the Liquor Board can actually get some in and their site's just lying... maybe there's an embargo? Seems kind of fucked up that it wouldn't actually be allowed here - we've got tons of floral gins that seem like they'd play nicely in an Aviation.

>>16444179
I prefer them with (straight) rye, but yeah, it's a good drink either way.

>>16443496
>Costco scotch
Unspeakably based

>>16444217
I can buy tons here in in Kentucky/Ohio.

>>16443367
This week I have been mostly drinking Long Island ice tea, mojitos and mai-tais

>>16443822
Jungle Bird, Category 5 with a blend of your rums and a Mai Tai if you get some orgeat.

>>16443822
Gold Rush

also VEMOUTH IS PERISHABLE AND GOES IN THE FRIDGE

>>16443702
I use Luxardo cherries in a few drinks at my bar. We keep a bottle of the liqueur around too but I've only used either of them in a handful of drinks. The cherries and the liqueur work well in a Last Word cocktail, and I've got a customer who always gets her whiskey sours with Luxardo juice instead of bitters. They aren't cheap but they have a great flavor.

>>16443752
I do. I put it there for the picture.

>>16443855
Not new to 4chan, just /ck/

>>16444643
>>16445226
I do keep my vermouth in the fridge but I'm not this dude at least I don't think I'm pretty drunk and can't remember

>>16443367
Based negroni drinker. Probably my favorite. Love simple cocktails. Sometimes when I'm lazy and don't want to get drunk I just make a Mi-To, just vermouth and campari.
>>16444179
Boulevardiers are also good but I prefer the gin.

>>16444217
Christ. What kind of Commy hell hole do you live in

>>16443822
Fuggin faggit

>>16443393
so liquor and coffee?

>>16445850
The kind that imports Korn and several kinds of Rakia from overseas, but apparently either doesn't sell Crème de Violette, has a serious shortage, or has to call it something else.

>>16444526
This anon knows the score. It even looks like a shitty house brand bottle, but it's better than any other low shelf scotch you're gonna find.

Mostly basic stuff, whiskey sour, g&t, dark and stormy, canchanchara and moscow mule. Basically one easy go to for each major spirit.

>>16443367
Negroni is definitely one of the top tier cocktails, good taste

>>16443682
I once had a bottle of Ransom Old Tom Gin and together with Boker's Bitters that shit made fucking amazing Martinez', but the shop where I got it from sadly doesn't sell it anymore. Really great drink tho. And I gotta admit, there's something satisfying about the smug feeling of knowing you're drinking something very few (if any) other people in your area have had.

>>16443702
Maraschino is in a lot of drinks. I'd see it's worth to pick up a bottle, liqueurs don't spoil anyway.

>Love me a Negroni
Yeah I love to break bucks too

Couldn’t decide between a caipirinha or an old fashioned the other night so I combined them into what I dubbed a “guypirinha”. 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz simple, .5 oz lime juice, 2-3 dashes of bitters, zest the rim. Pretty tight.

>>16448103
but don't add a lot, and don't drink it on its own... it's not very liqueur-y.

>>16443496
Costo and trader joe’s liquor is very decent. I’m pretty sure they get quality control rejected batches from big name liquors and basically sell them at a price that’s fair yet better than anything else at that price.

Scotch and apple juice.
:^)

>>16443367
Drunk off a bottle of shitty Sutter Home merlot, a couple bottles of Yuengling, and a dram of Laph 10. About to try and make my first Last Word since I happen to have everything for it laying around. Wish me luck bros

>>16443484
>lychee
based

>>16450095
Drinking it right now. Not bad, but I'd still take a sidecar or aviation over it desu. Certainly enjoyable, though, glad I made it.

>>16444145
Based aviationbro. I love the floral taste so goddamn much

>>16443367
i like negronis and other classics in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
i get disgustingly fucked up on a regular basis after drinking too many boulevardiers.

>>16444217
I use one called Sorgin when I can get my hands on it. It's actually perfection.

boulevardiers are good but I won't even imagine drinking one in the middle of summer.
i picked up pic related for gin and tonics with a local gin i saw at the store and it's great stuff. does anyone else have some mixers they like that are semi rare?

>>16443393
Fernet tastes like making out with a menthol smoker

>>16452415
That's why we like it

Golden Cadillac

>>16453760
Also a fan of the Bijou

>>16443367
A Old Fashioned is usually my go to but I'd like to try more of the classics, might pick up some Absinthe so I can try a Sazerac or Improved Whiskey Cocktail.
I made a Negroni for the first time the other day, was a bit off putting at first but I liked it much more as I kept drinking it, Campari has a very interesting flavor. I'll probably make a Boulevardier next instead, since I'm a much bigger fan of Bourbon than Gin.

>>16453806
>I made a Negroni for the first time the other day, was a bit off putting at first but I liked it much more as I kept drinking it
reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNxWjRU8oxU

Vodka and coconut water, both chilled. Has an almost caramel taste to it. Really good.

>>16443367
Singapore sling if I have Benedictine and Heering in the cabinet. Otherwise I sometimes attempt some fancy drinks from the Aviary cocktail book.

>>16443676
Whiskey Sour is without egg
Boston Sour is with egg

Can anybody recommend a good cheap (€15-€30) Bourbon available in Europe?
Should be drinkable neat as well

>>16454085
>singapore sling
are you friggin serious? singapore sling is the shittiest tasting of all the tourist trap cocktails

>>16454120
Dead serious, I think it's delicious AF. But I'm a sucker for fruity and/or sour drinks, and abhor bitter flavours.

>>16454115
Wild Turkey's good for the money.

>>16454131
singapore sling is all bitter and not much of anything else. double wtf

>>16443732
Not gonna lie "faggo" is a straight upgrade to "faggot"

>>16454205
I guess you could argue that gin is bitter, but otherwise it's just angostura that would account for bitter flavours?
>pineapple juice
>cherry liqueur
>benedictine (sweet+floral flavours)
>lime juice
Tell me again how you think a sling is "all bitter"?

>>16454203
hmmm Lidl is selling it here for 18 eur for 700ml this week, maybe I'll try it out

>>16443367
>Tfw no one sells campari around me

>>16454213
Tequila Sunrise but you have to make real grenadine syrup yourself and not buy the fucking SHIT Rose's brand from the store that's nothing but HFCS and red food dye. Yummy.

>>16443375

its usually just younger spirit(because distillery warehouses often hold barrels for multiple other smaller distillers and will have to either invest in more warehouses being built to maintain their own production or sell some younger stock to make room while also making a small profit in the meantime) or something that was in an inactive cask/uncharacteristic(that if the distillery had the balls to try and sell as an NAS or otherwise with their name on it would tarnish their reputation as a single malt producer), bottled by Alexander Murray which is a pretty decent independent bottler who also does store brand bottlings for Total Wine alongside Suntory-Beam, Douglas Lang and Mitchell and Son's.
