Cocktail time. Whats your favourite?

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

yellow cake martini
Is that name an ironic reference to Yellow Cake Uranium?

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.

I'm simple. I just drink beer. When I want to make it look different, I just add tomato or Climato juice. Best hair of the dog invented. :)

Very nice with tomato juice, but what's Climato? Is that kid sister safe? BTW, Underberg also makes for a very good repair tool. A shot of that chased with a Castle Milk Stout and you're up and away! :cool:

Maragaritas are always welcome. Hmm, Saturday afternoon, sitting on the patio, Margarita in hand, bar-b-que sizzling away, balmy 90 degrees in the shade... Yeah, I love summer in California! And I grew rather fond of Tequila Sunrise while vacationing in Cozumel last year (but it might have been the free bar, rather than the drink itself :cool: )

One of my friends makes a 'Perfect Margarita', It's a margarita on the rocks (1800) with a 1/2 shot of whiskey as a secret ingredient. It goes down smooth and is the perfect accompaniment for any occassion.

Bourbon actually mixes fairly well with slightly acidic fruit juices. The vanilla flavors complement the fruit, with the acid somewhat offsetting the sweetness of the bourbon.

Clamato[^]. A salty tomato-and-clam flavored beverage. There's a beef flavored variation called Beefamato. They're delicious, and if you overindulge along with alcohol you will become severely dehydrated. Well, i did at least. My head throbs just thinking about it.

Have you had good bourbon? See if you can get a taste of Woodford Reserve. Two fingers over a single ice cube, sipped slowly with a good conversation chaser.

You are probably right. I've had Jack Daniels and that is about it. I'll look out for Woodford Reserve. If I still find it too sweet and harsh I'll be mailing it to you.
