Why do bartenders hate making piña 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.
Jameson Whiskey
Ginger Ale
Ice
Squeeze of lime
Lime slices
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.
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.
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 añejo 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 añejo 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
- French Martini
- Whisky Mac
Aviation. I like gin and I don’t care for bitter much.
Not a specific drink suggestion, but I really love “vector bar”. It’s 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.
back when i drank, mint julep.

The paloma sounds amazing. Thank you.
I'm revisiting the classic Old Fashion. I love it.
Moonlight Vodka Martini (own recipe)
- Two shots of Skyy vodka
- Dolin Dry Vermouth
- Dash of Grand Marnier
- Jigger of seltzer water
- Quick shake with a lot of crushed ice
- Garnished with garlic-stuffed green olive

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!
