Top three alcoholic mixed drinks

No, unless you wait until the ice melts to drink it, or chew those cubes up as you drink.

I’m not one much for hard liquor. In my early drinking days, I had weak 7&7’s at the club, or screwdrivers. I couldn’t think of anything else, and besides everyone drank beer and wine coolers.

I can’t drink hard liquor, it doesn’t agree with me at all, but of course that doesn’t stop me! So, my top three: Gin and tonic. Scotch and soda (only on airplanes!). Pina Coladas. Runner up: White Russians. (I once drank several Jack and cokes one hot summer, the only time I think I blacked out - had a three day hangover from that one.)

I don’t know if a martini counts as a mixed drink, but for this exercise let’s assume it does. In which case:

  1. Tito’s martini, very dry, up with a twist

My only other go-to drinks are scotch rocks (or with a small splash of water, or neat) and wine. Occasionally in the summer, if I’m somewhere i think they’ll do it well, I’ll have a margarita.

We should meet for drinks! Occasionally I will have a brandy Manhattan, but otherwise this would be my list :smiley:

I just made this and let me say it’s tasty. I reduced the booze by half though, as I only had 2oz to start with. And instead of whipped cream on top I poured just a little into the hot drink itself. That maple syrup really does something for the drink that ordinary sugar doesn’t.

Do non-hard-liquor mixed drinks count? If so, I recommend a semi-accidental invention that I call a Gramarye Island Iced Tea: one part cooled strong Earl Grey tea with a spoonful of honey, and one part honey wine/mead.

Tequila and Regret

I forget the other two.

Dark 'n Stormy (dark rum & ginger beer over ice cubes)

Classic Frozen Margarita (tequila, lemon juice, triple sec, with ice into blender to be crushed)

Bloody Mary (I like 'em with spicy hot V8 + horseradish; vodka of course, over ice)

Gin and Tonic
Martini
Catemba (kalimotxo)

Bloody Mary (along with Mary’s variations)
Margarita (for real)
Captain and Coke with lime.

I believe you’ve mentioned kalimotxo before, which led to me making one (ok, several). I don’t think I ever thanked you, so I’ll toast you when I have my next one.

  1. Extra Spicy Caesar
  2. Crown and Ginger
  3. Gin and Juice /7-Up.

With a list like that you can leave your “Location” field blank! :stuck_out_tongue:

Margarita (not frozen, salt on the rim)
Gin & Tonic
Bloody Mary

*Old Fashioned Sweet (Rye, bourbon, rail whiskey, or Southern comfort. As long as it’s muddled and not made with goddamned mix!:mad:)

*Whiskey (any of the above mentioned) and sweet.

*Beer/wine Hybrid (beer & wine mixed, sometimes called a beer cocktail, though that is technically something else). Some of these the wine and beer are made together and some 2 finished products are just mixed. I hear ya groaning! This is definitely an acquired taste. I like it.

I’d say when it comes to a mixer I drink the first 2 equally as much, about 40%-40%. I’ll have a beer/wine hybrid only about 20% of the time.

Bourbon old fashioned
Rye Manhattan
Sazerac

Vodka and Cranberry
Moscow Mule
Vodka and Mixer

I don’t drink hard liquor much any more because I’m old. When I’m drinking it’s either beer or wine spritzers but with ginger ale instead of seltzer.

Gibson
Mojito
I honestly can’t think of a third mixed drink I order with any regularity. I normally just order a beer or Canadian Club, up.

BG Reynolds makes a nice falernum syrup, available on Amazon.

I would like to exchange my ‘vodka with mixer’ to a Mojito. I only said that because I couldn’t think of anything else I’d order but I would for sure order a Mojito long before I’d order a vodka and tonic.
P.S., I’d never order tonic and anything.
