The Mixed Drinks Thread

[tplyons]

Hey guys, what are your favorite mixed drinks? Preferably off the wall and provide recipes?

Lately, for me it's been a Gin and Sprite.

But I'm going to pick up a bottle of Lillet White Vermouth today to try the Vesper from Casino Royale:
3 Parts Gordons
1 Part Vodka
1/2 Part Lillet
Shaken, not stirred

[jwbassman]

My favorite

Gery Goose Vodka Martini with extra olives.

I like to have gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire, but I don't know how to order it without sounding like a dork. I asked for a Bombay Sapphire once and the dude brought me a shot of it with no tonic water. I asked for a gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire and the waitress kind of laughed at me. I'm not really all that good with mixed drinks, so I just ask for iced tea.

But there was this one a Seattle bar sold back when Randy Johnson played for the Mariners. It was called the "Big Unit":

Bacardi Light
Bacardi Dark
Yukon
Cuervo
Cranberry Juice
Orange Juice

Dang, that was really good.

on a hot summer day- gin and fresh lemonade in a tall glass full of ice.

cold night - irish coffee

For me, there's nothing like a good Manhattan. Rocks or neat, they can't be beat.

1. 3 ice cubes in a wide glass
2. pour gin over cubes and fill 2"
3. squeeze the juice from a quarter slice of lime into gin
4. fill with tonic to liking
5. stir

Here is a shot that make a nice summer drink in a tall icy mug
(Tastes like grape aide but has a kick. Also works mixed with some Sprite)

Purple Hooter
1 part Alsolut
1 part Chambord
1 part Triple sec
1 part Sour Mix


My typical drink this time of year is...

Black Russian
5 parts Vodka
2 parts Kahlúa Especial (or regular Kahlúa is the good stuff ain't around)
Ice

[Phalex]

Mixed drink you say?

Gotta go with the Stoli Gimlet

2oz chilled Stoli
Maybe 1/4 oz of Rose's lime juice
Wedge of lime

The Yukon Jack Snake Bite is fairly palatable too. Pretty much the same recipe, but with Yukon Jack and a tad more Lime juice.

The bartender at the bar I'm playing tonight is the supreme master of the gimlet. I think I just might have to get me one. Or two.....

For a great summer drink and a nice alternative to gin and tonic, try Meyers dark rum and tonic, with lime.
Beautiful...

I have a soft spot for the Black Russian myself.

Jagermeister + Red Bull = win.

I like various other drinks, but Jager Bombs are my go-to drink .

I've found among my friends, that Jager is a love/hate thing, and everyone I know is on the hate side of it hah.

Edit: I also like Irish Car Bombs a lot as well .

That's my drummers favorite concoction as well. He did 17 of them one night and forgot how to count to four!

Good. We'll get along just fine next weekend.

I've had many snakebites (aka black velvet!). I haven't had one in awhile, so perhaps we'll have to have one or two along with the Jager and Jamerson next week!
