Last weekend I was at a bar in Omaha and tried a Mule with Makers Mark in it instead of vodka, and bourbon-soaked cherries instead of lime. Still prefer a regular Mule but it was pretty tasty. It probably wouldn't have been as good with bad whiskey though.
Friday 5: Favorite mixed drinks
- Thread starter cyclones500
- Start date
1. Crown/Jack & Coke - easy and available everywhere
2. Moscow Mule - trendy but really quite good
3. Whiskey Sour - when I want to be more grown up but without caffeine
4. Caipirinha - see below
5. Irish Cream - good for mixing with hot cocoa or coffee on cold days (tailgating)
Caipirinha is sorta like a Mule, but no copper cup and uses Brasilian sugarcane rum (cachaca) instead of vodka. It also has lime, but coarse raw sugar (cane sugar if possible). Served over ice. The cachaca is pretty strong, and you mix it very strong.
"It warms the cold and cools the heat" or something like that is the phrase.

Jack & Coke
Rum & Coke
Tennessee Iced Tea (it's the same thing as a Long Island, but you substitute the tequila for Jack)

I could drink only rum and coke, as far as alcohol goes, the rest of my life and not feel like I was missing out on anything. Setting sail with el capitan makes me happy man.
If I had to give you five I'd go:
1.) Rum & Coke
2.) Mojitos
3.) Daquiris
4.) Straight Rumplemintz
5.) Straight Jaegar

Switch the Mountain Dew for Gatorade and the hangover will be nonexistent.
My top 5 would be:
1) White Russian
2) Crown & coke
3) Moscow Mule
4) Bloody Mary
5) Vodka - whatever I have on hand
Hot Flash (Fireball and OJ)
Pina Colada
Frozen margarita
White Russian
Creamsicle
Honestly, Fireball and whatever is probably going to win.

Hilarious.
Reminds me of excerpt from Chuck Klosterman’s “Life and Times of Kiss," in reference to Paul Stanley's intro for "Cold Gin" on Kiss Alive.
“… Stanley truly had zero interest in drinking culture (since he somehow doesn’t know there’s a proper name for vodka mixed with orange juice)."
