If I'm in Hawaii...Pina coladas or Mai-Tais...or some other rum-based drink...no vodka for me. (first shot gives me an instant headache)
Otherwise, IF I drink anything at all, it's Crown Royal...neat or over a couple of ice cubes.

Boulevardier hands down. Delicious and comforting. Freaking love them when done right.

I had never heard of this, so I looked it up. It's just a Negroni with bourbon. Having just been introduced to, and immediately seduced by, Negronis in the past couple months, I couldn't resist giving this a try. Whipped one up after I got home from work...

Holy shit.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. I wouldn't put it above an Old Fashioned, but damn, that is one fine beverage. Cheers for introducing us.

Ha, happy to help friend. :thumbsup: The Negroni was my favourite cocktail for the longest time, then someone (I can't recall who) introduced me to the idea of the Boulevardier and I have never been the same. The Bourbon brings a warmth to the drink that is just brilliant. Wish I was drinking one right now.

sorry but that doesnt count.

i had [very expensive whisky] and it was very nice, but we're not making this into a price war;

"what standard, $10 cocktail made from yer ole juices, syrups and supermarket alcohol do you prefer" is the intended message.

ofc i had some Rare Malts bottlings of Port Ellen (17~23)so i'm all up for a "bestest whisky ever" battle; you'd lose.

i like a nice grasshopper when done right, but it's a cocktail that's *so* easy to get wrong, i'll settle for any martini, anytime.

good whisky is delicious. adding shit to it is like trying to reinvent the motherfucking taco...

im personally a fan of a simple cranberry juice and vodka..

That's my old stand by, over lots of ice after getting roasted by the sun while fishing in Florida. Good stuff, good times.

If I wanted to get buzzed touts suite I'd order a huge RumRunner or Long Island Ice Tea. In my experience just chaining up the beer caused me to waste time by always having to piss. Nothing worse then standing there with your dick in your hand when 100lb yellowfin start popping everywhere and all the outriggers go at the same time. Better to court dehydration and possible alcohol poisoning I say!

I don't think it's a gay drink. Mojito

mojitos are good, but i prefer a julep. gin-gin mules are good, too (i dont like gin, which you can only barely taste at most)

my favorites are mint juleps and old fashioneds /love me some bourbon, ok?
