Saki with Chinese. Porter or Stout with BBQ. Red wine with Italian. Two shots of 100% Agave Sauza Plata Tequila with lime wedge with all other meals. Adult beverages only with the supper meal.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:
Ones that are a no go:
- 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.)
How's about you pallies?
- 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.
