Or what has been your go to lately? I’m usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I’m trying to branch out a little these days. What’re you drinking?
Currently sipping on a Paloma:
- 1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
- .5oz lime juice
- 4 oz Grapefruit soda (Jarritos today)
- Pinch of salt
BolexForSoup ( @BolexForSoup@kbin.social ) 11•4 months agoRye Manhattan up. Rye old fashioned if you want rocks and sweeter profile. But always rye.
guyrocket ( @guyrocket@kbin.social ) 1•4 months agoStraight rye can be good too.
BolexForSoup ( @BolexForSoup@kbin.social ) 1•4 months agoI do enjoy a good rye! But generally I enjoy bourbon neat/on the rocks or rye in cocktails.
PeepinGoodArgs ( @PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com ) English11•4 months agoA gin and tonic.
I also like ginger, so a ginger mule with gin is also a favorite
governorkeagan ( @governorkeagan@lemdro.id ) English2•4 months agoCan’t beat a good gin and tonic on a hot summer’s day.
Outsider9042 ( @Outsider9042@aussie.zone ) 1•4 months agoMexican mule is usually my go to, but this gin mule has me intrigued. I must try it.
BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 1•4 months agoGet you some tonic syrup and kick that gin & tonic game up to 11. So worth it!
PeepinGoodArgs ( @PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com ) English2•4 months agoDo you have a recommendation? I’ve actually been looking so I can make my own tonic water.
BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 3•4 months agoI’ve heard liber and co is good, can’t personally attest to it though. My go to is jack rudy’s. FYI the recipe on the bottle says .75 syrup to 2oz gin. Do yourself a favor and bump that up to 1 oz. A good quality gin is going to dominate the flavor and mask the bitterness. I usually do 3 oz soda water( the only cocktail I measure the soda on lol) and a barspoon of lime juice. Let the ice handle the rest of the dilution
Goopadrew ( @Goopadrew@beehaw.org ) 3•4 months agoSeconding Jack Rudy’s. While you’re doing yourself a favor, do yourself a favor and try 0.75oz syrup and 0.75oz st. Germain. That extra floral note is great with some gins (I’ve tried citadelle and malfy with this recipe to great success)
BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 2•4 months agoThat sounds like a great idea! Gin and st Germain are a match made in heaven
teawrecks ( @teawrecks@sopuli.xyz ) 1•4 months agoI’ve always preferred a Tom Collins. Sweet instead of bitter.
YaksDC ( @YaksDC@lemm.ee ) 10•4 months agoAbsolute favorite is the Sazerac. Any recipe you find use less sugar.
BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 1•4 months agoDo you make yours with a split base of rye and cognac or do you go for straight rye? Love me a good Sazerac! If you haven’t had one yet, give the bijou or la louisiane a try too. Both are delicious new orleans style cocktails
YaksDC ( @YaksDC@lemm.ee ) 2•4 months agoI like it straight rye mostly but always love to try and see if a good bartender can make it 50/50 too.
deegeese ( @deegeese@sopuli.xyz ) 9•4 months agoIf you’re ok with bitter flavors, I’m a big fan of the Negroni.
I prefer mine straight up so it doesn’t dilute too much.
I love Negroni. It needs to be on the rocks tho. If you do it properly, it needs to be cold. Also in terms of quantity, no ice means a ton more alcohol, I prefer to drink 3 properly made if the goal is to get drunk.
Atlas48 ( @Atlas48@ttrpg.network ) 6•4 months agoThe Dude was on to something, white russian all the way.
viking ( @viking@infosec.pub ) 6•4 months agoFor a cocktail, I’ll take a well executed Mojito 9/10 times. That other 1/10 is often a White Russian.
Else a gin & tonic as a long drink, as long as they got decent stuff.
These days I have maybe 2-3 drinks a year at most, so I’m not willing to settle for inferior ingredients.
Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English5•4 months agoIs the sun up? Bloody Mary
Is the sun down? Extra dirty gin martini. Preferably Hendricks or Botanist.
static_caster ( @static_caster@programming.dev ) English4•4 months agoThe Last Word is my favorite, but I rarely have the ingredients on hand. The Bees Knees is a more common go-to.
linucs ( @linucs@lemmy.ml ) 4•4 months agoI have multiple - it depends on the occasion:
- illegal (I love mezcal)
- moscow mule
- bloody mary
- piña colada
T Jedi ( @Jedi@bolha.forum ) 4•4 months agoCaipiroska, a Caipirinha variant with Vodka instead of cachaça
Cowbee ( @Cowbee@lemmy.ml ) 4•4 months agoPenicillin. Honey, bourbon, scotch, ginger, and lemon, all in one.
Guy Fleegman ( @GuyFleegman@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English4•4 months agoI dunno about favorite, but my go-tos are an Old Fashioned in the fall and winter, and a Tom Collins in spring and summer.
Those become a Manhattan or an Aviation if I’m feeling fancy or just want to mix it up.
seathru ( @seathru@lemmy.sdf.org ) English4•4 months agoDark, unspiced rum and any of the fruit juice monsters mixed 1:1 in a big gulp.
Keeps my heart on it’s toes.
BrikoX ( @BrikoX@lemmy.zip ) English4•4 months agoRarely drink cocktails, but Long Island Ice Tea is probably my go-to.
z3rOR0ne ( @z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml ) 4•4 months agoI don’t drink hard liquor any more, but even when I did, I didn’t drink cocktails, but did get a tiny bit fancy on straight whiskey.
Rye, mid or top shelf. Chilled glass with a whiskey stone. Sometimes with a beer.
