It's been awhile, probably not since some time this summer.
I like getting cocktails where I know the fewest ingredients. I like trying new stuff and will drink anything

I'm not gay and have no friends so none of this is relevant to my life experience or interests

>>18381357
Then why would you bother posting?

>>18381334
I make them myself. My last success was making a cranberry pineapple lemonade vodka, it tasted great and had like a rose quartz color to it.

>>18381351
this. if I have no clue what's in it then I have no clue what it'll taste like. I don't need another gin and tonic, I want adventure

>>18381369
he wants to learn to make friends, be gay, and drink cock and tails

I spent a few hundred bucks on cocktails this weekend in Denver. totally worth it.

>>18381381
>denver
>worth it
highly doubt that, holy shit

>>18381389
echoing this, denvor blows ass

>>18381389
There are like 8 or 9 truly excellent cocktail bars in Denver. Death and Co, Yacht Club, William and Graham, Lady Jane, Nearby Bar, and a bunch of others.

>>18381404
half of those are chains

Recently had a few Bakewell Tarts at Brewhemia in Edinburgh. Raspberry gin, orgeat, lemon juice on ice with edible flowers. Very girly/gay but often the best cocktails are.

The last time I went for proper fancy cocktails was at The Balmoral Hotel where it was an eye watering £16 minimum for a cocktail. They were quite good but I have had better. I had a Moscow mule and a few champagne cocktails.

>>18381407
None of them are chains. One of them has 3 locations in NY, LA and Denver. That's not a chain.

>>18381404
Denver is a shithole, astroturf city filled to the brim with room-temp iq mouthbreathers who "want to be in a city but close to natureeeee hurrrrrrr"
It's a city with no soul, and no purpose other than to serve the thoughtless retards that live there.

>>18381417
I mean, cool? This post has strong Pueblo energy.

I don't even live in Colorado. I can't figure out why the tendie bunch is freaking the fuck out over Denver.

>>18381421
It's a warning so people don't get encouraged by posts like yours and think denver is a place to spend money in.

>>18381415
yes it is

>>18381454
You got filtered by the price point, it's okay. I'm sure your neighborhood dive is just as good.

>>18381463
call us back when you have an original thought in your brain

>>18381369
I'm not sure I understand the question but because I like to be social and supporting threads that are outside of my interests is a good way to meet new anons

fanciest drink I ever drank was a margarita
are margaritas fancy?

>>18381381
where?
i went to the electric cure 2 weeks ago. dope rum/tiki drinks

>>18381568
Yacht Club to start. Super chill vibes, awesome drinks, nice glassware.
Death and co - not as good as NY, but still awesome.
Occidental - super laid back but banging cocktails
William and Graham - next door to occidental, super posh and fancy date night place
Nearby is doing the whole Atta Boy nyc thing where you don't get a menu and they just walk you through a drink order. It was pretty good.

There are a few others I'm forgetting because I was drunk.

>>18381334
the bartender wears slightly slim-fit white jeans with black loafers and a sexcore button-up.
you can smell the grease in his hair, but it matches the Tom Ford cologne and peppermint honey breath.
friday nights he makes all drinks with his shirt unbuttoned just one too many and his chest is the only part of his body that isn't even slightly shaved.

>>18381781
Sounds pretty gay. Here's how my usual experience goes:

>go in, bartender's wearing a tee shirt with the bar's name on it and a cool trucker hat
>you notice they have a rare fernet, you order it neat to start
>order something good off the cocktail menu, the bartender happily makes it for you and tends to the 30 other customers.

I'm actually fairly certain you've never been to a bar.

>>18381824
bars are gay. your little niche-wannabe hangout is a sexpool gamble for your societal betters, unless you're at a veteran/lodge bar, or a nudey bar.
american alcohol culture has been crippled horribly, and i think it'll be another 100 years until it bounces back. until then? i can just buy prostitutes, drink at my place with my friends, and buy my own booze.

>>18381898
>i can just buy prostitutes, drink at my place with my friends, and buy my own booze
Sounds great man. Why don't you do that tonight?

>>18381781
nice writing, very well painted picture

>>18381417
You can say that about most cities these days

>>18381334
My go-to is the necromancer, which is a corpse reviver with extra absinthe.
Not sure why people think these are fancy though, they're the cocktail equivalent of sloppa and were made as a hair of the dog to get hungover drunks to get back into boozing again.

10/10, very delicious. If you don't like absinthe, you'll hate it though.

>>18381334
I’m in fucking medical school. All i do is study hahahaha wish i had time to go to a bar like a dumb roastie.

>>18383005
Sounds miserable dude

>>18383005
Why the fuck would anyone in their right mind go to medical school? It's almost as bad as business or law school.

The best cocktail I ever had was a blue hawaiian I made myself using one part pusser's rum, one part blue curacao, one part cream of coconut, two parts Dole pineapple juice blend iirc. Just blend it with crushed ice and garnish if you want. It's easy, and I guarantee it will be better than anything you can order from a restaurant or cocktail bar (probably because of all the sugar kek).

>>18383005
My ex-girlfriend was a medical student and she managed to work 20-30 hours a week on the nurse bank and have a social life. If you’re finding it that hard you can’t be particularly intelligent.

>>18381334
>shot of booze
>some juice
>some ice
>that'll be $21.25
Lol, fuck off. I make my own cocktails, what are either an old fashioned or a sazerac.

Fucking roasties can waste their money on overpriced cocktails. I'll just save up to buy some land.

>>18383355
I own land and still go to bars. Now what?

>>18383355
Sounds like you need to make more money, so you don't care about pissing it away on restaurant food or drinks. I myself am quite comfortable.

>>18381357
Go to a gay bar and order some drinks, I bet you can fix both problems at once

>yeah, i'll have a mai tai
>yeah, i'll have a planters punch
>yeah, i'll have a fogcutter
>yeah, i'll have a hurricane
Non-tiki drinks are for fags, regardless of the bar

For me, it's Cobra's Mist.

>>18384481
i gave your mom my Unnamed Creamy Cobra last night lmao

>>18384481
I actually served the Cobra's Colada to a couple of friends and we agreed that it was pretty good

>>18384481
These all sound terrible.

For me, it's the negroni. Complex flavor, sweet but not too sweet, and easy to make at home.

>>18381334
>What fancy cocktails do you like?
A properly made long island ice tea. Though I'm always up for trying most things I haven't had before with someone else.
Most oft I keep it simple with an amaretto sour w/ ginger ale. Well, if there's no open bar I'm usually getting a beer.

>>18384631
Honestly no offense, but I laughed at you thinking these are fancy. You're free to like whatever you want and there's nothing inherently bad about your drink choices, but long island iced teas are about getting as much liquor into you as fast as possible while it stills tastes fairly good. They have a reputation for being one of the trashiest drinks you could order. Amaretto sour is a little better, but ordering it with ginger ale kind of outs you as low class. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I wouldn't order a paper plane or last wish at a dive bar.

Went to a tiki-bar called Strongwater a few weeks ago, and it was pretty good. Missionary's Downfall was my favorite, that shit went down so smooth.

>>18381334
a couple months ago. Nursing school is demanding and will suck up any social life. The best cocktail I ever had was at a BBQ joint in Chattanooga. It was the honey honey honey

>>18384691
and it was only 7$

>>18384691
What was the place called?

>>18384714
Edley's. Sorry i had to find it on google maps

>>18384671
My criteria for fanciness of a cocktail is complexity and difficulty of creation. That's why I consider amaretto sours to be simple as opposed to fancy, since they're piss easy to make. Meanwhile the vast majority of times I've ordered a long island ice tea the bartender failed to make it well enough. Clearly it's too fancy for them.
>but long island iced teas are about getting as much liquor into you as fast as possible while it stills tastes fairly good.
>while it still tastes fairly good
It might be too fancy for your bartenders too. Properly made, you shouldn't even be able to tell you're not drinking iced tea.

>>18384749
Lol, no need to get pretentious about your frat boy drink.

>>18384736
They removed the bar menus from their website

>>18384736
>>18384766
Nevermind, found one cocktail menu on pinterest but no honey honey honey

>>18384736
>>18384766
>>18384777
Got it on wayback machine, maybe you meant the "Oh Honey"? I want this fucking drink.

>>18384777
All of those cocktails look good. Its making me long to go back bc the food is good too. Especially the banana pudding. I think we must have gone in the summer so it was a different cocktail menu

>>18384786
No the base wasn't gin I believe it was bourbon

>>18381334
French 75

>>18384763
>no need to get pretentious
lolwut? By definition, my post is antonymous with pretension whereas the post I replied to exudes it.
Do you know the definitions of the words you're using?

>>18381334
For me it's the jager bomb

>>18384881
For me it’s the surfer on acid
