Tie between Pisco Sour and Bloody Mary. Usually a night drinking the former will lead to the latter the next day.

Sub "Caesar" for "Bloody Mary" and I'm down.
Basil smash is my house specialty but I'll experiment with it, had a big phase of getting into mixology this year though it's currently a lot less due to following a strict calorie planning.
I've invited one based on my taste for palomas and pisco sour. El Condor:
- 1oz of Tequila or Mezcal
- 1oz of Pisco (Peruvian)
- 0.5oz Syrup Agave (you can find it in the muesli section) or simple syrup
- 2oz Lime juice
- 2oz grapefruit juice
- 1 Eggwhite to shake if you like it more smooth
- chili salt rim or chilistring garnish
Probably the best cocktail I did so far.
Tanqueray and cranberry juice with lime
Is your mind on your money?
And my money on my mind, yes.
The Drunk Uncle
- 1 oz blended scotch
- 1/2 oz islay scotch
- 3/4 oz cynar
- 3/4 oz dry vermouth
Good whisky, neat
Decent whisky, bitters, club soda, ice in a short glass.
Gin, flavored fizzy (LaCroix etc), splash of lime juice, ice
Gin shaken with ice, small rinse of dry vermouth in glass, 3-4 blue cheese olives
4:3:3:4 aรฑejo tequila, grand Marnier, key west lime juice, honey simple (50/50 honey and water) shaken or blended with ice. (Could sub honey for sugar free sweetener to be "healthy")
My favorite margarita is just 2oz tequila (yes aรฑejo or reposado), 1oz orange liqueur, juice of one lime. No sweetener, the liqueur provides enough sweetness.
I drink beer in the summer, bourbon whiskey in the winter. But I have a holiday tradition, on the solstice I buy myself a bottle of Lairds and spend the rest of the week mixing Jack Roses.
Jack Rose:
- 1 1/2 ounces applejack or apple brandy
- 3/4 ounces lemon or lime juice
- 1/2 ounce grenadine
Shake all ingredients until chilled, double strain into a coupe glass, garnish with lemon twist.
You'll basically never find a bar that stocks applejack, so if you want one you'll have to mix your own.
A gin and tonic with Squirt
I've been experimenting with my own, and this one is my new fave.
Jelly Baby
2 oz peach Eddies
0.5 oz aperol
3 oz pineapple juice
2 oz Squirt soda
Splash peach syrup
I love fruity strong cocktails and this one tastes just like jelly babies. It's so good!
back when i drank, mint julep.
i love fruity drinks, pina colada is my favorite but bartenders hate making it so i just go for whatever cocktail has coconut or pineapple flavor
Why do bartenders hate making piรฑa colada? (I feel guilty now)
some places may only have 1 blender and they have to clean it out after every use
Pineapple juice, whiskey, and a squeeze of lime is so much better than it should be.
