Cocktail Thread

[Anonymous No.16548964]

There was a thread about various cocktails the other day and some wet-behind-the-ears teenagers who still live in their mom’s basement insisted that that the Long Island Iced Tea didn’t taste like iced tea, so tonight, while I was at the bar with some friend to watch the Lions game, I ordered a couple I can confirm (as I had already did in the last thread) that they in fact _DO_ taste just like ice tea as I remembered from the 1980s (and they will fuck you up).

Also; general cocktail thread.

They don't taste anything like tea. Arizona iced tea has no tea flavor to it, either. Your average sugar addict doesn't allow any tea flavor to get through in what they call iced tea. By that standard, Fanta also tastes like iced tea.

Tasted like a cherry vanilla cream soda and was probably the best cocktail I've ever made on a whim. Then they discontinued it and now I got nothing to fill the void. Tried a bunch of colas and cream sodas but nothing matches it.

My favourite is the Hemingway Daiquiri, because it tastes so refreshing. I prefer the Cocktailian version that contains more juice than others over most of the other recipes that use homeopathic amounts of grapefruit juice. So:
60ml rum
10ml maraschino liquer
10m simple srup
20ml lime juice
30ml grapefruit juice

Last summer I accidentally drank four of these in like 45 minutes and almost died. Vomited everywhere luckily I didn't pull a hendrix and I couldn't move for almost 2 days afterwards. When made properly they don't even register (to me) as alcoholic tasting despite the fact that they are deadly alcoholic.

French 75 is my fucking jam. Sweet and drinkable, but with a complex aftertaste that's extremely satisfying. Like the light side counterpart to a whiskey sour.

What kind of taste do you prefer? Like, do you enjoy sweet or more dry drinks, light or concentrated/strong stuff? Do you like thick, cofee/cream-flavorer stuff or fruity flavors?

Name some drinks or desserts you enjoy, perhaps.

[Anonymous No.16551461]

>>16551449
More of a fruity flavor kinda taste, I don't like creamy stuff.
I don't really mind either sweet/dry or light/strong, but if I had to choose a preference I'd go with sweet and strong, if that's a thing.
Some drinks I enjoy are screwdrivers, jack and coke, rootbeer floats, and really any kind of fruit ice cream.

No probs mate. Don't discount the whiskey sour either, they're really good if prepared right. Can be awful if the bartender is trash though.

[Anonymous No.16551880]

Sweet tea. Which is basically just brown lemonade. And the LIIT has plenty of lemon juice and sugar in it, together with some astringency from the liquor, to taste like sweet tea.

You'd enjoy a mai tai or any tiki drink really. Margheritas, daiquiris and lunchboxes are good too. I recommend you start with a tequila sunrise.

[Anonymous No.16552403]

went to victory brewing near Exton PA recently and they were selling liquor from a distillery out of new york called "Southern Tier Distilling Co."
I picked up most of their bourbon varieties, including Bottled in Bond, Smores, Cinnamon Candy Apple, and Smoked, as well as vodka and gin.
The smores bourbon is amazing and tastes like a tootsie roll, absolutely fantastic with root beer or dr. pepper. The cinnamon apple tastes like halfway between crown royale apple and fireball (but not spicy)

>>16548964
long islands can vary wildly depending on the ingredients used. i always ask what tequila the bar uses before ordering because cheap tequila will ruin the entire drink. cheap gin can too but i'm more tolerant of gin.

Same thing with me back in the 80s when I first started going to bars and trying out some different cocktails. The barmaid suggested a Long Island Iced Tea and I downed 3-4 of them as they’re so easy to drink and when I got off the bar stool, I almost hit the floor.

Those are tasty. Back in the day, the local bar my friends I would frequent had some kinda deal with Jack Daniels and offered cheep Lynchburg Lemonades in these tall heavy duty distiller supplied glasses with the company logo and recipe printed on the side and I had my girlfriend at the time steal me one of them.

I'm a gin or rum fan myself but not a fan of overly complex drinks so my cocktail preferences are rather few.
El Presidente cocktail
50/50 Martini (with Lillet in place of vermouth)
Gin Southside cocktail
Pegu Club gin cocktail
Singapore Sling (bars can't ever make this one right)

Then there's applejack cocktails that I like, such as the true classic 'Star' cocktail (only use Peychaud's bitters) and the Jack Rose.
