Not a specific drink suggestion, but I really love βvector barβ. Itβs an app where you can track the ingredients you have on hand, and it will give you recipes based on what you have. It has a lot of other great features, too.
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.
Jameson Whiskey
Ginger Ale
Ice
Squeeze of lime
Lime slices
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 piΓ±a 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.
My usuals are the Black Russian and the Gin and Tonic.
Black Russian = 1 jigger vodka, 1 jigger kahlua and coke, in a tall glass.
G&T = 2 jigger gin, a splash of Rose's lemon squash and tonic water, in a tall glass.
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.
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.
The Drunk Uncle
- 1 oz blended scotch
- 1/2 oz islay scotch
- 3/4 oz cynar
- 3/4 oz dry vermouth
A gin and tonic with Squirt
Tanqueray and cranberry juice with lime
Is your mind on your money?
And my money on my mind, yes.
