I'm a fan of vodka, tonic, and lime juice.. or just on the rocks. Tito's is good and cheap. I'm about to have some Polar on the rocks.

I used to not like scotch, but I had a swig of it at my dad's gig last night and really liked it. Don't know what kind it was though.

Yo, anyone here like Seagrams 7?

The 7&7 has always been my drink of choice when drinking socially.

I just so happen to like the drink and I prefer mixed drinks if I'm drinking casually. I don't think it's as dated as, say, a Tom Collins would be. Jack Burns is the only guy to still drink those and he's 50 years behind the times.

Trust me bro, I could drink you under the table any day of the week. I don't need some "harder" drink to feel like a man. Only little p u s s yboys like you think that stuff puts hair on your chest.

I have to side with y8s here. This thread is for drink snobs, not for well drinks and convenience store beers.

Who is drinking Tom Collins'?

The date of invention of a drink has little to do with how classy it is. A name brand of so-so canadian whisky plus a do-they-still-sell-that soft drink full of HFCS mixed together is just not classy.

I guess the mistake you seem to be making is based on the fact that you think drinking should be comprised of the things that keep Costco in business: massive volumes at discount prices.

You go ahead and drink yourself under the table while I waste my money on stuff that's really good.

Fine.

While in Edinburgh, I purchased a bottle of Glenfiddich Havana Reserve -- a 21 y/o single malt which is aged in Cuban rum barrels.

How many of these ever made it to the states?

I'll agree with you on the Canadian whiskey.

I'll disagree on the esoteric soft drink.

Behold, Schweppes' bitter Lemon!



Sadly, you can't buy this in the US. I've only seen it in Germany, though I understand it to also be popular in Russia as well as the rest of Europe.

I can't really describe the flavor. It's like sour, chalky, carbonated lemonade. I'm sure it'd be horrible by itself. But add some Bombay Sapphire gin and it turns into something really wonderful.

gin + water

shot of gin, sip of room-temperature water. IDK why, but it's delicious. Only the flavor of juniper berries up in that ****.

isn't that all gin really is? herbs added to neutral spirit?

Would Tito's Vodka plus above Bitter Lemons = Hendricks gin?

I looooove Hendricks Gimlets! Especially with a bit of cucumber juice added!

I'm not nearly as well-versed in gin as I am in rum and tequila, and I don't believe I've ever tried Hendricks. Cucumber-flavored gin strikes me as... odd.

Cucumber gimlet:
At my recent birthday party a bunch of my friends got sold on it:

Anyone here fond of mint juleps? When seasonal, of course.

As a red-blooded American, you should ditch that floppy-headed whisky and switch exclusively to the Official Spirit of the United States of America: bourbon.

And yes, I am a big fan of mint juleps even though it's hard to sound suave when ordering one. Then again, I like mojitos and mint in general.


Speaking of mojito: what is the proper mixer for guys here?

I very much dislike the mojito, I also dislike all rums and most vodkas. Yet I purchased a bottle of rum-infused whiskey. Hmm.

It's tough to get a proper mint julep this far south so I'll typically make my own.

I won't turn down a mojito if it's offered to me on a sunny day. Especially if there's a nice breeze.

The resort where I used to summer, Palmetto Bluff, really made me fall in love with sweet tea & vodka. I know it's sort of a fairy drink, but they go down like water on hot days. I've tried Firefly and other premixes but none compare to the "real deal". Probably the only vodka drink I enjoy.
