what is your favorite cocktail?

I am with @abasket! I don’t care for alcohol in my bloody mary but pile on the olives and the other goodies!! :slight_smile: IMO, this is one drink that tastes as good or even better in its virgin form as the alcohol form.

Bourbon with a few drops of water. I have a pretty good collection. I do have one one guilty pleasure, and that is the pina coladas from Bar Jack at the Ritz Carlton in Grand Cayman. I have no idea how they make them, They will not share the recipe and I’ve tried to recreate to no success. Oh well.

a Pimm’s Cup. In fact, i’m going to leave work a bit early – inspired by this post – and make one!

I mainly drink wine, but on occasion will have a vodka/Perrier or vodka/club soda. Those mixers have no sugar or calories, unlike tonic.

@VaBluebird I’m with you… I first had a Rusty Nail a couple of years ago and I had to go buy Drambuie after that. I also like Old Fashioneds and also bourbon with just ice and a little orange bitters. We did a chocolate tasting tour in SF for my 50th birthday and had this gin-based chocolate cocktail that was amazing and then one of my friends that came along gave me the ingredients as a gift so I can make it at home. I had been avoiding gin ever since a bad night in college and probably still wouldn’t have a gin and tonic but with some other things in it it was great. That said, I’m trying to lose weight and alcohol is my nemesis in that area so I have to cut back on the cocktails again, darn it ;-).

Pisco Sour is my absolute favorite. Though a well-made margarita on the rocks is my second favorite.

You don’t hear people praise (or have familiarity with) a Boulevardier very often! :slight_smile:

I like them, but I tend to stick to beer.

“Those mixers have no sugar or calories, unlike tonic.”

Sometimes I’ll have a vodka tonic with a lemon but with diet tonic.

@Midwest67 I really enjoy bourbon;)

I rarely drink alcohol (dislike wine and beer) but will make an exception for the occasional glass of champagne, bellini, or mimosa. For cocktails, I like sweet, citrusy craft cocktails and I really like caipirinhas (husband makes the best ones) and pisco sours. So, basically adult lemonade/limeade. :slight_smile:

Spring - Elderflower Gin Sour

Summer - Paloma

Fall - Vieux Carre

Winter - Bourbon, neat

To be honest, I like all the cocktails - lol. My son is a bartender at a fancy craft cocktail lounge, and he has corrupted me.

A Hurricane from Pat O’Brien’s, a Mai Tai from Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, and at home a lemonade with limoncello and Bayou Satsuma rum liqueur.

Plain old fireball on the rocks is pretty darn good. Amaretto sours or Tom Collins are my go-to. We joke that Tom Collins on St Patricks day in an Irish bar in upstate NY caused our eldest to be 2 years “pre-mature”. lol
I also have a recipe for a spring sangria that is to. die. for. I made it for an all female party once and it did not last long. Thankfully I knew my tribe well and had plenty of wine.

I am an infrequent drinker. I’ll have a mimosa at brunch if it comes with it. Then I’ll probably drink in the single digits per year…a margarita, pina colada, strawberry daiquiri or my new one, a lava flow.

Oh oh oh, can you share it?

Vodka/cranberry with a splash of sparkling water. Or Margarita on the rocks with salt. Occasionally, a Moscow mule.
