Something straight of the bottle? Probably a liqueur like Amaretto or Baileys.

Get some Amaretto. Pour it into a shot. Get a mild beer like bud or girls light. Drop the shot into the beer and drink whole.

That's a Dr. Pepper shooter.

Here's what you do:
>bottle of whiskey (your call)
>bottle of sour mix
>mix together
>garnish with orange slice and cherry
>whiskey sour. done.

Kahlua is my all time favourite liquor, god damn. I want to get drunk of it, just once. That and Passao

>>4663457
> orange juice
> grenadine
> coconut Malibu

First drink I ever had, good shit. Rum and coke is always good to sip while relaxing as well.

>>4663480
Man after my own heart. Here's what you do:
>bottle of kahlua
>bottle of vodka
>some cream
>mix
>white russian
or
>leave out the cream
>black russian

Black russians are my all time favorite, but white russians are good too

This entire thread is how you get diabetes. If you want to be a proper alcoholic you need to start getting into sour drinks, or you need to go whole hog into aspertame.

definitely craft beer, pretty easy to find really good stuff unless you live in Mississippi

Campari if you're willing to spend $30-$35 on one bottle. Root liquor if you like root beer. Limoncello is also good. Applejack is a staple for me (that's apple brandy, not weird neon green appleshot-whateveritscalled) I like to put it in black tea.

I also like to buy sparkling Rosé/blush wines. So refreshing in hot weather; some light cheese and crackers and you have the perfect meal.

shots of jamo

>>4663487
>or you need to go whole hog into aspertame.

Which is fine. Aspartame is perfectly healthy, a meta-study said so.

vodka, ginger ale, lime juice/syrup - Moscow Mule.

Good stuff.

>>4663537

it might cause encapsulating ball cancer but you won't get type 2 diabetes from it.

>>4663485
one shot each? or equal measures?
Also:
>White russian
b-b-but i'm Polish, can I c-call it white P-Polski?

Sambuca.

You have to drink it shot by shot, but god damn is it delicious.

>>4663540
No, and use milk not cream imo.

>>4663541
>it might cause encapsulating ball cancer

It doesn't cause anything. Aspartame is broken into aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol in your body. There are greater amounts of each in most fruit and vegetables, and they're mostly harmless.

>>4663545
Cream is the real deal, you need less of it. If you use milk, obv it will be more.

>>4663540
I make it my personal taste, so I do equal parts vodka and kahluah. Some people might like it different, mix it up and see for yourself

>>4663457

I like Jagermeister.

Can I ask an off-licence for a sample of these drinks?

Or maybe I should go into a club?

>>4663563
I have been drinking like a freakin' horse. It's to a point where it's actually dangerous, and somewhat of a problem. I just have no idea what else to do.

I always wondered who drinks at a bar at 8:00 AM. I think I'm going to go find out!

Do fish even drink or is it osmotic for them, or simply part of their bolus, like we swallow a certain amount of air when eating?

It is, I spent incredible amounts of money. My drinking budget is about the rent of a really nice apartment.

One way I manage to control my drinking is actually that I purposely run out of money. Maybe it's self-preservation instinct, and this is actually quite an interesting thing.

My brain's fucked right now, but it's an interesting system to analyze: self-preservation in self-destruction.

I don't endure hangovers, but it's to a point where my brain functions are somewhat impaired. I think it's recoverable, but I really have to stop drinking.

I just really like it, and it really helps other things, but I'm not sure if it's productive/constructive/efficient and my impaired functions are preventing me from being able to evaluate this.

What has been your experience with alcohol, /ck/?

Frangelico. Fucking delicious.

Advocaat is nice too.

>>4663457
everclear.

no really.

>>4663605
What does advocaat taste like?

>>4663482
So basically a Bay Breeze?

Also it depends on what you're in the mood for OP. For me I like either a Buttery Nipple shot or a Peppermint Patty shot.

>DeKuypers Buttershot schnapps
>Baileys Irish Cream

>Dr. McGuillicuddy's Mentholmint schnapps
>chocolate syrup

Pure bliss. Speaking of McGuillicuddy's are any of the other flavors good?

>>4663562
How cold though, Do I need to freeze the liquors?

>>4663680
Eggnog. Make sure to get brandy-based advocaat, some cheaper versions are made with vodka and have a strong alcohol sting which ruins the experience.

>>4663485

White Russians are likely my all time favorite drink.

Has anyone here done a Pink, Brown, or Yellow Russian? I've been meaning to do them. Those aren't official names, just something I came up with.

Pink would be replace the Milk or Cream with Strawberry Milk, Brown would be Chocolate Milk, and Yellow would be Banana milk. I think it sounds tasty, if a bit sweet.

Who's done the blind russian, with something like Bailey's or Dooley's or another Cream liqueur?

A single malt scotch whisky.

>>4663457

Something to just pick up and drink?
Schnappes for sure. Don't know the best brand, but whatever flavour sounds good to you.

IDK about mixed drinks, but you can drink schnappes straight outta the bottle

>>4663682
Prepare to be judged very harshly if you're a straight male drinking Buttery Nipples in public, but damn they are tasty.

I think Irish Car Bombs taste delicious.

>>4663752
I usually have them when I have people over the house since I usually don't go out to drink anymore. What's a good whiskey to have with your Irish Car Bomb, or does it not really matter?

>>4663457
lel i always get criticized for making rape drinks
but this one especially

3 shots captain morgan
top off cup (pref. red solo variety) with throwback pepsi

alternately,

3 shots beefeater gin
top off cup with schweppes tonic

>>4663762
Jameson and Bailey's is what I've usually seen. A The Irish cream and the heaviness of Guinness covers up a lot of the whiskey bite in my opinion

Wow. Everyone here are children if they're recommending so many liquors and shit tier drinks.

The answer is single malt scotch and micro brews. When lacking both then a good bourbon like Bulleit or four roses

>>4664247
Should say liqueur but auto correct. Also, Buffalo Trace is acceptable

in terms of wine, if you want "beginner mode" and if your "tastiest" means sweet and easy drinking, probably a sweet moscato or riesling.
>inb4 all the hate for recommending white wine

White trashmode:

Get 2 liter bottle of Sunkist/orange soda

Drink some to make enough space for the amount of everclear you want in it

Add green koolaid mix packet

Knocks your socks off tastes like green orange soda with no alcohol taste. (Gave it to the sluts and pussies at parties when I was younger, I just bought a bottle of trashy JD and drank directly from it.)

>>4663744
those all sound gross. but i will come up with better names because I feel like it:
>Pink...nope it's now a Russian Vulva
>Brown...how about a Moscow Nigger?
>Yellow...Lenin's Piss

>>4663480
you mean passoa right?

>>4663464
if you want adventure and/or fire, fill shot half with amaretto and top with 151-proof rum, light the bastard on fire and THEN drop into pint glass and drink. Take caution with Flaming Dr. Peppers, that's a lot of proof.
My suggestion for beginner drink is either Moscow Mule (>>4663542), a basic highball (whiskey of your choice with ginger ale) or the Gimlet: only ingredients are gin and Rose's sweetened lime juice. Roses makes a lot of horrible products, and i use the sweetened lime for nothing else, but it's a good way to get a newbie into gin, because gin and whiskey are "scary", it seems.

>>4663457
Get a bottle of Absinthe it's rather expensive but shit'll blow your head...

>>4665091
>a basic highball (whiskey of your choice with ginger ale)
you can splash in a little amaretto for extra yum.

Sweet tooth tier: Liqueurs. Bailey's, Irish Mist, Kahlua, Amarulo, JD's Tennessee Honey

Wine tier: Moscato, Prosecco, pretty much any Champenoise.

true alcoholic tier: Bourbon and (dark) Rum is probably the sweetest, tastiest spirits to drink straight

>>4665269
This is a good post.

I've only just started drinking, really. In my light amount of exploring I've found that I really like dark 'n' stormies. Looking forward to having one in Summer more, though. Way too refreshing and light on the stomach for Winter drinking.

What's a nice Winter drink?

Just out of curiously. Which is the tastiest unmixed liquor´that isn't filled with stuff.

I mean, like Gin, Vodka or Rum.
No Rum & Cola or Gin & Tonic or Baileys.

>>4665406
Seems like a pretty subjective question, really. Too many factors (personal taste, average quality amongst multiple brands, etc) involved to sum it up beyond "whatever you buy and enjoy most".

>>4665406
It really depends on your preference. I know people that can drink tequila like its water; same thing with bourbon or vodka.

This vodka is a full strength one that is literally the smoothest I've ever had. Chill with some ice and you can drink it straight.

>>4665413
I mean personal opinion of course.

Just interested to hear what people think.

>>4665420
Ah, in any case I'm too new to know, really. I'm the dark 'n' stormy guy from above.

I couldn't really drink the rum I'd bought (Mount Gay Barbados) straight from the glass. Maybe I'm just weaksauce, though.

>>4665406

Dark rum I can drink straight, it's tasty enough. Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva and Santa Teresa 1796 are the cornerstone of every /ck/ rum recommendation thread and rightly so.

Single malt scotch is too much for me though, I need that splash of water to smoothen it up, even with the Speyside or Irish varieties.

>>4665427
Mount Gay is awesome rum, but yeah it is definitely one I mix.

Goes GREAT with some OJ

>>4665445
Mmmm, that'd mix nicely. I don't see myself doing it, unless I happen to have both around the house, though.

Was really happy with Mount Gay. My first rum purchase, too.

>>4665470
You made a good first purchase, then. I have an alcoholic sailor for a grandfather and he buys mount gay by the case.

Haven't ever drunk whiskey before, other than that JD Honey liqueur they released recently. Quite a bit of you in this thread recommend single malt scotch for beginners, saying it's smooth enough to drink straight. Any particular recommendations on a low budget?

tl;dr Could anyone give me a smooth, entry-level, fairly cheap and easily available single-malt scotch?

>>4667447
bump

>>4667447
That's a tough one, because usually the smoother they are the older they are and the older they are the more expensive they are.

Also, blends aren't necessarily bad for beginners. In fact, a lot of blends can be smoother. It really depends on the maker.

I wish I was more versed in the types of scotch, however I'm more of a plain jane JD man myself. Try maybe glenfidditch.

Here's a good article on cheaper single-malts: http://www.maltmadness.com/value.html

Have you ever heard of Rumchata?

This. Mix with club soda and prosseco for a delicious summer treat. Or just club soda, if you're poor?

Is spiced rum pleasant to sip or is it very harsh and just used in cocktails?

>>4667447

Glenmorangie 10 yr is a good starter single malt

This patron little bottle really smoth

>>4669732
That is hilarious you bought tiny Patron bottles and display them with pride.

I love me some white russians, but being lactose intolerant I have to go for the black variant. Shitting yourself while drunk is not fun.

Pappy Van Winkle 20 or 15, if you can get it.

>>4669621
I live in Eastern Europe, it's sadly too expensive here (way more expensive than in both the US and UK). In the end I just settled for what's available - Jim Beam Black Label or Gentleman Jack. Possibly Maker's Mark. I'll see which one is available.

>>4669938
Can't you just order online from UK?

>>4669939
Nope, draconian anti-alcohol laws + tariffs and extra taxes make it way too expensive. Much easier to get imported American whisky. Only Scotch I had was JW Red Label, which is easy to get here - tasted like perfume.

>>4669942
If you can get it, Buffalo Trace is very good for the price.

>>4669950
That was actually my first choice, but it's unavailable in stores and it costs over $60 at an online retailer - I can get much better for that price.

Grand Marnier is delicious. Grab some korbel brut and make lazy mimosas.
Carlo Rossi anything, but especially the sangria. It's not like real sangria at all but it's good. My usual table wine for guests or wino weekends.

>>4665419
>Titos

High mother fucking five. I drink it straight all the time at room temp/no ice. Smooth as fuck.

I've been told that Deep Eddies Ruby Red Grapefruit is pretty fucking awesome.

Is it just me, or does real champagne taste awful?

Bombay sapphire
you also need tonic water and lemon/lime

>>4672176
Just you.

seriously guys you have tastes this bad in alcohol? To the op: get some portugese reds or a good gin+tonic or craft beers or single malts. Stay the fuck away from amaretto and baileys, taste like shit and have no depth

>>4669938
OK, I just got Jim Beam Black Label as my first whisky. Had a glass, and it's very smooth. So smooth actually, that it barely has any taste. Shame, since it was so highly recommended. Maybe I'm drinking it wrong? I'm drinking from a wine glass, neat, and swishing it around in my mouth.

>>4672176
it is definitely just you

>>4673127

i never cared for jim beam as anything other than a mixer.

you will likely have a much better experience with something like knob creek or maker's mark (examples). although i read recently that maker's was watering down their product. but then i read they reneged on that whole thing.

also don't overlook scotch. to many it is an acquired taste. i always liked the glenlivet and the johnnie walkers black and above. johnnie walker red is intended to be a mixer.

the moral of my story is avoid whiskeys/whiskys that are intended to be used in cocktails. that's pleb shit. for a few dollars more you can purchase something you will actually enjoy.

>>4667670

Yeah, what about it?

1 part gin 2 part 7up over ice
your welcome

>>4663744
>Who's done the blind russian, with something like Bailey's or Dooley's or another Cream liqueur?

I prefer that to regular cream.

Turkey hill honey whiskey is pretty sweet and tasty.

>>4663457

You can try this with some light food, like salad, pretty good in my opinion.

I have not tried wild red yet, my friend said it's pretty good but not better than the blue

>>4663457
I tried honey flavored Jack Daniels over ice last week and it tasted and smelled like butterscotch. 9/10 would mix with apple juice for some sort of candy apple concoction.
Drinking makes me feel like a steaming pile of bat guano so I won't be doing that again for awhile.
