But why?
If I make anything fancier than whiskey on the rocks, I make an old fashioned. It doesn't get better than that.
I guess once in a while we'll make whiskey sours as well, they are awesome with fresh squeezed lemons and limes.

I don't really consider it obscure, but I'm surprised at how many bartenders don't know how to make a Paloma.

I was on the fence about posting the gimlet or the paloma. Glad to see it on here.
In the summer:
-Bloodies- clear winner
-Vodka lemonade/ Arnold Palmers on the river
-Mimosas
Sidenote- a lot of you ruin good whiskey with ice.

Caiparinha
Muddle half a lime (or more) in the bottom of a tall glass
add ice cubes to the top
add a tablespoon of sugar (coarse brown, or refined, your call)
top it off with cachaca
Brazillian drink, cachaca is kind of hard to find, its distilled sugarcane but not rum
Tricky part is getting the lime and sugar ratio right, it can depend on the ripeness of the lime.
But if you get it right... wow so good, goes down like lemonade on a hot day. But you are essentially drinking straight rocket fuel, so it can knock you on your ass.

If you can ever find Ting soda, try it for grapefruit juice here. Ting is like squirt x 10.
Absolut Ruby Red vodka
Tonic water
Big chunk of fresh lime, and bruise it hard so juice comes out
Garnish with 2 pickled mushrooms
My buddy and I call this a "dagger", in honor of the gentleman who enlightened us - his initials are DAG. It's like mother's milk in the summer......
