Depending on how much money I've got, either rum and soda or vodka-martini.

That's for drinking at home, getting pantsdrunk.

Is your mind on your money?

My usuals are the Black Russian and the Gin and Tonic.

Black Russian = 1 jigger vodka, 1 jigger kahlua and coke, in a tall glass.

G&T = 2 jigger gin, a splash of Rose's lemon squash and tonic water, in a tall glass.

Not a specific drink suggestion, but I really love β€œvector bar”. It’s an app where you can track the ingredients you have on hand, and it will give you recipes based on what you have. It has a lot of other great features, too.

Aviation. I like gin and I don’t care for bitter much.

I've been experimenting with my own, and this one is my new fave.

Jelly Baby

2 oz peach Eddies
0.5 oz aperol
3 oz pineapple juice
2 oz Squirt soda
Splash peach syrup

I love fruity strong cocktails and this one tastes just like jelly babies. It's so good!

The paloma sounds amazing. Thank you.

I'm revisiting the classic Old Fashion. I love it.

I don't usually go for cocktails, but when I do I really like a peaty whiskey sour, or a boilermaker with Guinness or a session IPA and again a peaty whiskey.

[–] florge@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago
  • French Martini
  • Whisky Mac

Basil smash is my house specialty but I'll experiment with it, had a big phase of getting into mixology this year though it's currently a lot less due to following a strict calorie planning.

I drink beer in the summer, bourbon whiskey in the winter. But I have a holiday tradition, on the solstice I buy myself a bottle of Lairds and spend the rest of the week mixing Jack Roses.

Jack Rose:

  • 1 1/2 ounces applejack or apple brandy
  • 3/4 ounces lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce grenadine

Shake all ingredients until chilled, double strain into a coupe glass, garnish with lemon twist.

You'll basically never find a bar that stocks applejack, so if you want one you'll have to mix your own.

A gin and tonic with Squirt

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)
