Friday 5: Favorite mixed drinks

[Al_4_State]

Bloody Marys are the only mixed drink I have with any frequency, and I absolutely love them.

 

[JP4CY]

And if i just want to get drunk: Adios Mother F*cker (for those unaware, its a long island, but you flip the coke for sprite, and the triple sec for blue curacao)

I've had a bullfrog before and its kinda like that.

1 Ounce vodka
1 Ounce gin
1 Ounce silver tequilla
1 Ounce white rum
1 Ounce blue curacao
1 Ounce lemon juice
dash of red bull
ice
tall glass
stirrer
slice of lemon for garnish

 

[Deanster]

BV and Pepsi
Vodka Lemonade on the golf course
Gin and Tonic
Vodka Tonic

 

[BCClone]

Pina Colada
White Russian
Amaretto Sour
Rum & Coke
Vodka Tonic

(Don't judge)

Mrs GTO, can you let your husband have his account back?

 

[SCyclone]

1. Margarita (on the rocks with salt)
2. Vodka/Mountain Dew (gives the least hangover)
3. Kessler Whisky/Squirt (poor man's whiskey sour)
4. Long Island Iced Tea
5. A ward-8. You take Bourbon, orange juice and lemon juice and shake it. Then pour it in a glass and top with grenadine. Very tasty.

As for #2........soda actually enhances the misery of a hangover. Something about the sugar. You'd be better off drinking the vodka straight. Also, clear liquors (vodka, gin, rum) have fewer "poisons" in them, and so contribute less to hangovers than the whiskies. I have managed to retain some of what I learned tending bar! (And I'm going to try your #5 - sounds good!) If you have not had a Brandy old-fashioned sweet - made properly, Iowa bartenders tend to struggle with it - you should try one. I think you'd like it.

 

[cowgirl836]

rum and coke should probably be all five for me, ha.

1. Rum & coke (but it's actually cherry pepsi)
2. Margarita/paloma other citrus-y tequila drinks
3. Mojito/Daiquiri - frozen or otherwise...preferably frozen and drank on a beach
4. Amaretto sour
5. Purple rain - also best on a beach -

1 1/4 oz. Curacao, blue
1 1/4 oz. Vodka
2 oz. Grenadine
1/4 oz. Lime Juice
2 oz. Pineapple Juice
Mixing Instructions
Add ice and mix in blender for a frozen drink. Or shake with ice and pour into ice-filled glass.

vodka lemonade is another one

What do you recommend? I have to run to Hy-Vee tonight to grab some things for a picnic tomorrow. I could grab a spirit to enjoy for the evening!

 

[flynnhicks03]

Lagavulin 16... plus an ice cube which could be considered a mix. Otherwise, whiskey sprite with varying qualities of whiskey.

Ron Swanson, is that you? No, Ron would never put Sprite in whiskey...

Credit for this week’s idea topic comes from our good friend Angie.

Rank your top 5 mixed drinks. If you aren’t a frequent liquor consumer, rank the 5 you’d be most likely to order whenever you do.

Go!
