I usually do beers, Coors light 4tW, but i like to dabble in mixed drinks. I have recently became a fan of Tanguray and tonic- with a lime, of course. It never leaves me with a hangover, but manages to get me “JT drunk”(ie, insulting woman and country music, also midgets and invalids). Really NO hangovers!! Im wondering what do the NYSpeed peeps drink-besides beer. No shots, just drinks.
I was also turned onto Jack and Cider, fuckin YUM, tailgating fav!
-edit rt now im sippin on Gin and Mayer bros cider, yes im a mad scientist!
jack an coke, or coke and some flavored rum (cherry / vanilla). The old standby of vodka tea is good too. Once in a blue moon you will catch me with a martini or some wine, depends on where i am or what im eating.
I also find myself enjoying a nice Martini, ill tell ya those chick like 'tini’s are super good, the only time ill drink one(in public) is when im with ladies. I prefer a gal that can put me under the table anyways. lol
This Just in, Gin and Cream soda is also super yummy! this is what happens when i have a cupboard full of the ex’s booze and a fridge full of tasties.
Well, I had 8 beers out of an 18 pack with 3 friends, now I am drinking a long island… I love 7/7’s and crown and sprite however. Pregaming for the bar… time for some more beers!
Long Islands are just a backup if I can’t find anything else…
Martini’s I picked up a taste for a few years ago and tend to have a few anytime I go out; normally an Orange Goose or similar (Orange Grey Goose, Triple Sec, and OJ (and/or Pineapple).
And for the normal (And MANDATORY when snowboarding); Grey Goose, Tonic, with a Lime.
just finished an evening of jack and pepsi…yum.
also had a couple 100 proof soco and sierra mists (thin slice of lemon and another of lime…) sooo good.
I’ll have mixed drinks over any other form of alcohol… wine pulls in second place.
jim beam and coke (NOT PEPSI) be careful though that shit will creep up on you
white russians are delish if youre feeling frisky. be sure to pick up a pack of lactaid as well, shit will sour your stomach in no time
mojitos are awesome summer drinks. im not allowed to drink them anymore, something about me yelling at my gf becuase she tried to turn off the music while i was sleeping on my bedroom floor idk
also i really enjoy soco manhatans. greg johnson and i pretty much lived off of those one winter
Unfortunately not many bartenders know how to make a correct manhattan, but yes - a manhattan should always have a dash or two of bitters.
Like most old cocktails - recipes have been molested over the years and you rarely get consistency. I am a bit of a purist when it comes to pre-prohibition cocktails, especially when called by the original name. If you want to change the manhattan, fine - but don’t call it a manhattan anymore.
Most cocktails will benefit from a dash of bitters… Helps balance the flavors.
Here is my favorite Mojito:
3-4 Mint Sprigs
.75 Sugar Cane Syrup (Simple Syrup will do)
.5 Lime Juice (Fresh)
1 Lime Wedge
1.5 Rhum Agricole Blanc (White rum will do, but nothing beats the complexity of this)
2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters
Muddle 3 sprigs Mint, Lime, and Syrup - Add Rum, Shake and Strain.
Top with SPLASH of Soda water (only a splash, the trend of filling glasses with soda water has killed cocktails at most bars), and then add the 2 dashes of Bitters.
