What drinks are /fa/?

Seems to me a basic quality as /fa/ness is not being fussy and/or making everything look easy.

Are martinis too fussy/difficult a drink to order nowadays? They also seem like the kind of thing the fedora crowd would really, really enjoy ordering. On the other hand, they are basic (or used to be) and elegant.

I would ignore what you think other people are doing when ordering a drink. There will always be douches at bars ordering shit to look cool, don't affiliate yourself with them. You could easily get drawn into some sort of snake-eating-its-own-tail shit where the same people mirror what people like you drink in order to seem different, then you have to change back to whatever they were drinking before, etc.

I personally like to stick with straight liquor neat or on the rocks, maybe an old fashioned or something if I trust the bartender.

As a child, I associated them with James Bond. I'm concerned that the manchildren who try to dress like videogame and noir characters might see them as a way to look cool, but I've never actually seen this behaviour. Then again, I've never seen a martini in real life, period.

Why are Martinis considered fancy. I mean gin is a fucking nasty spirit and vermouth is just hobo wine. Suddenly you can put the two together and boom, you're paying $30 for a cocktail.

This.

It's really dependent on the individual taste of (you) the patron. Generally, it's best to sample drinks/brands to find out what you like.

I'm a scotch guy. So unless I know that I'm stepping into a shit-tier pub/bar/hotel etc., my usual pick is Laphroaig. Less is more.

Alright, so I'm a cocktail bartender and I'll try explain it

People drink either because they like the liquor or the ideal, and you can tell a lot from what they're drinking.

Martini's will always be cool for example because they're alcohol in their 'purest' form, and have infinite variations which most bartenders like playing around with.

Prohibition/old school cocktails and drinks are also same sort of category, it's essentially the focus on specific identifiable flavors that we assume you have the palette to taste.

I'd say my most /fa/ drink at the moment would be an amaretto sour w gin twist, or an espresso martini w kraken/cafe patron/liquor43/coffee.

Avoid overcomplicated drinks as they're usually one overwhelming poorly balanced flavor and anyone who knows their shit will know you're a douche

you have two choices in life:

>be yourself, and be the best version of it
>try to be somebody else, and completely ruin whatever potential you have, even if it was minimal to begin with

nobody ever became sucessful or happy by ordering drinks they thought would make them look cool. Confidence in yourself is what actually makes you "fa" in real life, so stop trying to comply to a standard that doesn't even fucking exist. It's pathetic.

I have no interest in being successful or happy.

I'm taking steps to develop traits that provoke admiration. My clothes send the right messages, and I don't think about them any more. My accent is clearer, and I don't think about it any more. My handwriting has a nice flourish to it, and I don't think about it any more. My taste in food and cooking has gotten so that my go-to breakfast - spinach, poached eggs with pepper, organic sausage, grilled mushrooms - was described as fancy, and this actually surprised me, because I don't think about it any more. Now my interest turns to alcohol. Soon I will not have to think about it any more, because my taste will be impeccable.

You know what's pathetic? Giving up and whining about people make something of themselves.

I worked in a bar for a while and I never got the "is x drink fashionable" thing. Just drink whatever you feel like. Obviously if it's Budweiser, people will hopefully ridicule you mercilessly. Just try a variety of stuff and see what you like. Also depends on where you are - some places might have a really good wine list, some places might have really good cocktails, some might not even have the necessary ingredients to make a range of cocktails. I don't really have a regular drink at this point- all up to what I'm feeling.
