What drinks should I order at the bar tonight?

Tonight I’m going to the bar in order to celebrate my 22 birthday :smiley: What are some drinks I should order/try while I’m still in college? I have had all the typical stuff like, straight shots, rum and coke, et; but what are some of the other drinks that people should try? BTW, a few years back a buddy tricked me into take a double 3 wisemen, so don’t even try that suggestion.

Thanks.

White Russian
barring that:

Flaming Rooster Piss

I personally believe in vodka martini, three olives, thank you. I’m sure Quicksilver would agree, although with citrus likely. :wink:

Have a good time!

Ever since watching the Big Lebowski, I’ve always wanted to dry a White Russian. Thanks for the suggestion and I’ll be sure to have one tonight :wink:

Keep in mind, the more you mix, the sicker you’ll be. At least thats always the case with me. I can have 6 drinks and be fine, 6 DIFFERENT drinks (different liquor) and I’ll be driving the porcelian bus first thing in the morning!

Do you hand the White Russian on a clothesline to do this, because I can’t imagine too many of them fitting in a regular drying machine. :wink:

Dude, if you’ve never had one, you have to try a cement mixer. Trust me. :wink:

Get a Cement Mixer. Trust me on this one.

What, is there an echo in here?

Ditto on the “don’t mix” advice.
Before I can answer your original question, I’d need to know what kind of drinks you generally like. If you are one of the people who thinks “you can’t even taste the alcohol” is good, then I’d probably recommend a lot of mix drinks that are fruit flavored and relatively low in alcohol like the fuzzy navel and similar. If, on the other hand, the bite of the alcohol is one of the things that you enjoy, I’d recommend the old fashioned booze drinks like martinis, manhattans, and old fashioneds.

Heh. One of these days, I’m going to learn to type faster. Glad to see we’re in accord on this one, Airman.

Another one for the cement mixer.

Also I dare you to try “the beer mat” - its a shot off of the mat on which the barkeep spills stuff while making drinks. It is usually free, but for a good reason.

If they make a Bloody Mary using fresh ingredients (real tomato juice–not a mix, real horseradish, etc), I’d recommend that.

Along with the Cement Mixer, the 252 is a definite early 20s birthday shot.

Enjoy, but don’t…uh…over-enjoy.

Vodka sour with a whiskey back, and step on it. With any luck, you won’t get punched in the arm when you order it :slight_smile:

I’ve always wanted to try a mind-eraser . It was described to me like something you might have found in Ten Forward from the old Star Trek: TNG. I hear it’s aptly named, tho’, so indulge at your own risk.

Order a shot of green Chartreuse neat, served in a brandy snifter. Then exhale all the way, hold the glass up to your nose, and take a deep breath. It’s important to savor the aroma this way.
