G&T. Good gin, but not great - Tanqueray is my usual. Now and then, i like a martini - this does warrant top-shelf gin though. Other simple favorites: bourbon and cranberry juice, manhattan, yellow cake martini (not actually anything close to a martini, but a good not-too-sweet fruity drink), and the venerable mint julep (but only if made with fresh mint, and easy on the sugar). My wife likes mojitos.

depending on occasions : Gin'n'Tonic or Manhattan or Champagne.

Champagne.
Without a doubt, one of the tastiest beverages to have, but the absolute worst to drink to intoxication because your hangover is the absolute worst. Its not just bad, its insanely and abysmally bad.

Cheers, Vikram.

When you've had a sufficient amount of alcohol, before you get drunk you get a sense of euphoria termed the "buzz". Its great. So.. Mr. Buzz Killing-ton... get it? Someone that kills your buzz.

We had wild mint bushes growing outside our house last summer. We'd get home from work, I'd break out the rum and we'd sit mixing cocktails in the sun on our deck chairs with fresh mint. Only thing that comes close is a beer on a boat while fishing on a hot summers day.

Why do you think I need apple juice for bourbon whereas I can take single malt scotch with ice or with soda? :-)

None. I don't drink. Heck, I consume something like 2 aerated drinks a year.
Cheers, Vikram.

Aerated? I aerate my plants by stabbing sharp objects around the roots... Now i have a picture of you sitting - glowering - at a tall glass of liquid with a hunting knife sticking out of it... :~

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkDoesn't it just ruin the apple juice? Vodka and apple juice would be better... sort of... :) (I only drink bourbon if I am very drunk and then only if even the Budweiser has been finished. A drink of last resort.)

Yeah, i keep mint plants growing around my house; they're tasty... and really, really hard to kill, even if i go a week without looking up from my computer screen to water them. Good for sun tea as well as the mixers. And chiffonade mint sprinkled on a dollop of sour cream atop a creamy bowl of lentil stew is fantastic...

I used to like Madras (cranberry-orange-vodka) but lately I have been into margaritas over the rocks.

Yep, a good one goes a long way. Not sure I really have a favorite but Mojito, Pisco Sour, and Manhattan are at the top of the list of mixed drinks for me.

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it should't move and does, use the Duct Tape.

yellow cake martini
Is that name an ironic reference to Yellow Cake Uranium?
"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." - Walter Bagehot
No, but the association is why i like the name and remember the drink. ;) The mixture is equal parts vanilla vodka (or vodka with a drop of vanilla extract), amaretto, and pineapple juice. The taste is reminiscent of a pineapple upside-down cake.
