Thread: What are your favorite cocktails?

Old Fashioned, never old.
Sometimes a good Negroni.
And when feeling adventurous, a Last Word.

We are mostly beer people and expecially my hubby. But I have to keep abottle of VO with 7 up in the house for those moments when he craves it. I have thought about getting Seagrams 7 instead of VO but was unsure of the taste difference. Do you think it would be the same?

I looked up the Last Word - a classic mixed drink of gin, lime juice, Green Chartreuse, and maraschino liqueur. This looks yummy!

Since most restaurants/bars/lounges don't carry J.B. Black, and I have only found one with J.B. Devil's Cut 90, go to Total Wine for this. They carry both and the best prices also.

Sloe Gin Fizz
Old Fashioned
Mary Pickford
French 75
Irish Car Bomb

I am also partial to Orphy's special Vodka cocktail, that is, gulps of Vodka straight from the bottle followed by another. And the best part is that when it hits your stomach, it shakes, stirs, and mixes itself!

Can I get a Pimm's cup in a pimp's cup?

As for my favorite mixed drink.

Great call. 2 of my favs right there, (1) Old Fashioned and (2) Negroni FTW, especially Old Fashioned. Gotta have a well made dry (3) Martini every now and then as well. And when I'm feeling like I need something sweet and fun and cheesy, a (4) Mai Tai hits the spot - or pretty much any Tiki bar sort of drink Zombie, Blue Hawaii and Chi Chi being next in line.

I've never had a white Russian either, but the idea of milk and vodka (it does use vodka, right?) makes me feel queasy.

I wish I could regularly attend classy cocktail parties instead of the usual party of one parties consisting of Popov and burnt frozen lasagna.
