Well, it is New Years. How about your favorite and not so favorite cocktails? I'll get this party started.
Honestly, I keep mine pretty basic:
Honestly, I keep mine pretty basic:
- Gin & Tonic: 1/2 quality Gin, 1/2 tonic water, a lime wedge, and done.
- Dry Martini: 2½ ounces Gin, ½ ounce dry Vermouth. Garnish with an olive.
- Absinthe: Glass of Absinthe, pour cold water over a sugar cube, through an Absinthe spoon.
- TnT: 1/2 Tequila, 1/2 tonic water, dash of bitters, and a limed wedge.
- Tom Collins: 3 parts Gin, 2 parts lemon juice, 1 part sugar syrup, 4 parts carbonated water. (Or just simplify it with Tom Collins mix.)
- Pretty much any foo-foo drink.
- Anything involving the two words "pumpkin spice". Had a beer, well a couple sips of one, so labeled at an office party (free beer and how bad can it be?) and, um yah, never again.
- Most, though not all, brown liquor drinks. Though I did use to do the Bourbon Supremo (Bourbon and tonic water, with a lemon wedge) back in the day. (And, yes, I'm aware that is sacrilege to Bourbon purists, but it was the cheap, Old Crow stuff.)
- Whatever is the current obnoxiously trendy cocktail. If not at home, I do my drinking at dive bars, casinos and a private club, so I usually don't see that often these days, thankfully.
