Dirty vodka martini, garnished with blue cheese stuffed olives preferably.

Negroni's are great, and trying out different gin's and vermouth's is always fun.

Manhattan

[Anonymous No.8276107]

Manhattan is good.
I also like an old fashioned but sometimes they add a little bit too much sugar.

Pic related, but only one bar in town makes them. Anywhere else I'll go with a Greyhound. If I'm poor, 7&7.

[Anonymous No.8276247]

>>8276107
I don't understand the point of an old fashioned. How is it better than just plain whiskey unless you're trying to dress up bottom shelf junk.

[Anonymous No.8276254]

I like the aviation, anything with egg white, anything using mezcal

Because you're supposed to use Brandy.

Good old martini. Whiskey sours are nice too, and nothing beats a gin and tonic on a hot summer day.

[Anonymous No.8276783]

This. Fortunately, they're easy to make at home.

A good basil bourbon smash is the perfect drink, citrus and floral/herbal flavors in a cocktail win me over so fast

If you really want to impress your bartender order a Toronto.

2 oz Rye (Bulleit works nicely)
1/4 oz Fernet
1/4 oz Simple Syrup
2 dashes Ango Bitters

Served straight up or on the rocks.

if you want to impress your bartender, know your order, tip, and don't get wasted.

0% chance your bartender gives a fuck about your starbuxaroonie special snowflake I-bet-nobody-orders-this cocktails

don't much know about fernet, I guess.

scotch and soda with a twist is my goto, everyone looks at me like I'm a grandpa but IDGAF, so refreshing and nice.

gimlet is my follow up and then a Cape Codder, Im pretty basic

[Anonymous No.8276986]

>>8275414
Martinez

>Two parts full-flavored(non-dry) gin
Most bars tend to have Hendricks. This works fine. Junipero makes a brown gin that was fantastic for it.
>One part sweet vermouth
>Dash of Maraschino cherry liqueur
>two dashes aromatic bitters
Orange bitters are a good choice
>add all ingredients over ice and STIR. DO NOT SHAKE.
It is important for this drink to have a smooth texture. Shaking it aerates the drink and makes it taste dry. This is a Martinez, not a martini.

Serve in coup glass with orange twist.

[Anonymous No.8276994]

>>8275456
>Olives stuffed with blue cheese
Dirty Martini is my 2nd fav drink and never thought of this. Will try.
Love me an old-fashioned with Bullet or Makers.

Cocktails got popular during the American prohibition, AKA the bathtub gin era.

Fernet should be drunk neat, with ice, after a meal.

[Anonymous No.8278033]

>>8276986
many variations exist for this cocktail wich, as Byron stated, is just a gin manhattan variation; starting from the quality of sweet vermouth and balance between gin and vermouth.
wich vermouth do you use?

sounds like you're going to really low end shitholes. every bar i go to has at least 1 drink on their menu containing fernet. most restaurants around here give you free fernet at the end if you order alot of food.

Cocktails I've gotten recently:

- gin martini straight up with olives
- moscow mule
- manhattan
- black russian
- caipirinha
- pisco sour

[Anonymous No.8278619]

When I was a kid me and my friend would always drink screwdrivers in her room. Her mom thought we were just really into orange juice.

[Anonymous No.8278655]

>pisco sour

I was just in Peru and had these all the time
So good

[Anonymous No.8278660]

I don't get people who have no vermouth in their martini. Just order a glass of gin/vodka next time and bring your own olive if you really want it.

Red wine and Coke/Dr Peper

Don't knock it til you've tried it

After recovering from a stomach ulcer I've hardly touched alcohol, but I still can't resist a good Negroni every now and then.

[Anonymous No.8278815]

Seems gross but i'll try it. I feel like it'd be good with a sweet red like a Lambrusco.

I'm most certainly a White Russian man myself, but it's surprisingly easy to fuck it up and only a couple bars in my town actually do it well so I rarely get to indulge.

Evan Williams Bourbon, poured over an entire glass of ice.

Fill till glass is full.

Drink over the course of 30-45 minutes.

Hate that you no longer find joy in day to day activities.
