What are your favorite simple cocktails? Examples of simple cocktails would be:


Vodka + Soda
Rum & Coke
Gin & tonic
bourbon7

Really? Everyone here in my area has the works. They even usually have egg whites for some of the cocktails that need them.

Random question, but how much of a difference does it make usually going from a mid tier spirit to a high tier.

For instance mid tier vodka: stollys, absolute, sky

to high tier: grey goose, kettle one

Is the taste difference noticeable? I hear the higher filtered spirits taste like sugar almost

I assume you mean some other "States", perhaps "The United States of Mexico" as it is officially known in Spanish, and not the USA, which has ginger ale in even the smallest most shitty bar.

>> No.4690193

>>4690183

It depends a great deal on the spirit.

With vodka, very little difference.

With tequila, brandy, and gin, quite a lot of difference.

With bourbon or rum, some difference.

Of course once you mix, especially in long drinks, the differences are reduced. In a stronger cocktail you can usually tell the difference, except with vodka.

>> No.4690198

In q mixed drink no. Straight however there is a noticeable difference. Mostly in how "smooth" it is and aftertaste.

Thanks for your insight, I appreciate it. Also I have a request, its kind of a lot so if no one wants to do it I would understand.

There are /ck/ infographics for rum and bourbon, I think. /ck/ is divided on tequila with a fair number of haters for some reason. No one has bothered to do a gin one and I certainly can't be bothered, but I'm happy to shit on the first draft if anyone else wants to give it a shot. The gin knowledge I see here is mostly not too embarrassing so I think that ought to work out ok.

Bacardi and Capt. Morgans are what is known as supermarket rum. They're cheap enough, not as cheap as the store-brand, and they're fine for mixing. They are not high-tier, they're mid/entry.

Gosling Black Seal and Kraken are an affordable high-tier. Pusser's is better if you can find it. If you have money, Mt.Gay is breddy gud

>> No.4690400

In the same class, I prefer Flor de Cana, or 10 Cane. I really like Pecan St. Rum, but it may only be available in Texas. For true top tier rums >>4690375 is pretty spot on. Now if you want to include Cachaca, I like Leblon over Bacardi.

23 year old rum costs about $45 a bottle, so I think you're getting anally raped on liquor prices.

Then again I don't have to go to the mafia don's dockside underground liquor dispensary to get gosling's or pusser's either. Those are on the middle shelf of any liquor store's rum section where I live.
