If it doesn't exist already, someone MUST create a mixed-drink recipe named I Have No Idea.
Top mixers on RAGBRAI:
Captain & Coke (mostly late afternoon and evening)
Vodka Lemonade (late morning to early evening)
Screwdriver (for breakfast)
Gin & 7 (any time)
and the Holy Grail when you can find it (most bars are out of milk on the ride):
White Russian
Years ago when Mrs. Velo was pumping and dumping on the ride because she was breastfeeding one of our kids we tried to get her to provide us milk for our White Russians. No dice. This year our driver ran into a woman who instead of pumping and dumping was feeding her team from the tap. I was disappointed that another opportunity for the White Russians passed me by.

Primarily a beer guy, so my mixed-drink range is narrow. My 5:
1. Whiskey sour
2. Bloody Mary
3. Margarita on rocks, salted rim, lime wedge required
4. Fish Juice (recipe below)
5. Mulled wine (good at holiday time)
Fish juice
(exact % of each not specified, mix to taste)
Citrus vodka (also can use strawberry/cherry or combine them)
Squirt
Orange juice
Rockstar/energy drink
Underrated gem: Beer Buster (12 ounces beer, shot of vodka, dash of hot sauce). I like to call it “Poor Man’s Bloody Mary.”

I wish I could grow that stache....
It's okay though, you can mix crap whiskey like a 7&7. I have to admit I'm more of a beer guy unless I've got the good stuff handy.
I knew you were a little older than me but didn't know you were born in the early 1800's in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Shouldn't that be Newcast'le?
If you guys like hot winter beverages, I have a couple of great recipes for Tom & Jerry batter & Hot Buttered Rum batter. They store in the freezer; you dig out a large spoonful, add to rum, nuke...mmmmmm nummy.
In no particular order:
Rum and Coke
Margaritas
My father in law makes a great old fashioned
Mai Tais are pretty good. The best I've had was in Hawaii
And finally, one I used to drink at the bars in Ames when I was in school, a Kansas City Ice Water. Always good after pounding some pitchers
KC Ice Water
