Should be Mangosteen as the mixer

3 fingers of Maker's Mark + 2 medium ice cubes = ahhhhhhh!

Always try to use crushed ice instead of regular cubes - the drink fuses together better, and you don't get the overly sweet or syrupy notes that lunchie is talking about.

1) ya, always use quality liquor, as you would for cooking. the only instance where you wouldn't taste the difference is if you load up on the sugary mixers.

2) i find crushed ice is the best with tropical drinks (fitting obviously, since that's what you prefer). it doesn't make much of a difference with whiskey sodas though. i've had jack and cokes with crushed or cubed ice and it doesn't make a difference to me. if it's just lime and quality sugar you're using for a caipirinha, like i enjoy, crushed ice is super. too bad my fridge doesn't make crushed ice...

jim beam's red stag (black cherry flavored jim beam) + coke = orgazmic

1 part tequila
2 parts orange juice


I call it... tequila and orange juice.

I sometimes mix it up a little, though, and add a splash of tequila.

Oh!

And if anyone knows of a drink I can make that tastes like turkey gravy, please post it here!









So far, the closest I can get is turkey gravy.

I prefer cubes with vodka or whiskey based drinks, but most tropicals, if made correctly, are typically more booze-heavy than most mixed drinks. The crushed ice acts as a congealing agent and waters the cocktail down in just the right ways.

And I was lucky enough to get one of these as a Xmas present Professional Ice Crusher | Waring Webstore

Works like a charm. I've heard awful things about the crap they sell at Bed, Bath and Beyond, but I have nothing but positive things to say about this model.

I've seen you mix it up a little, with 1 part OJ, 3 parts tequila, and a tequila float.
