  What is your favorite cocktail?

I recently started bartending and have found that there are hundreds upon hundreds of different drinks. I was curious what are the SC users favorite cocktails and if they know, possibly how to make it. *By cocktail I mean an alcoholic beverage.

~Examples of cocktails: Martini, Sex on the beach, White Russian, Oatmeal Cookie, etc.

That syrup peaches and pears come in. I hate drinking. I like to go to bars though, because it gives me lots of ideas when I'm having writer's block. But only if they're clean.

Any alcohol is all right with me. But if I have to pick a favorite cocktail, that it would be Bloody Mary.

Lately I've been enjoying something called a "Brickston," which is gin with a hint of kaluha. The other old standard is gin and tonic, and godfather, which is scotch and amaretto. Oh, and coffee with sambuca.

An oatmeal cookie is served as a shot. It has Goldschlager, Butterscotch schnapps and Bailey's irish cream in it. The ingrediants sound alittle gross but it tastes good.

I don't usually drink alcholic beverages, but one of the best one's I have tasted is a Long Island Iced Tea. The ingredients are 1/3 Rum, 1/3 Vodka, 1/4 Gin, 1/4 Tequila, Lemon Bar Mix, and Cola (Coke) to coulour of tea.

Amaretto sour. I love amaretto, but it's too sweet on its own. The sour mix balances it out. And for all you Martha Stewart types out there, sour mix is actually really easy to make from scratch at home. Oh yeah, and I also love rye and ginger.

1/3 Rum, 1/3 Vodka, 1/4 Gin, 1/4 Tequila? That adds up to more than one. Is part of making the drink to have it overflow on the bar?
Violet
(reply to TylersMamma) posted 23-Apr-2001 1:54pm  

3 cups water
3 cups sugar
2 cups fresh lemon juice
2 cups fresh lime juice

Combine water and sugar in large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Cool syrup.

Mix syrup, lemon juice and lime juice in pitcher. Chill until cold. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; keep chilled)

Makes 8 cups, but you can divide the recipe to make less. You can also adjust the sugar and lemon/lime juice to make it sweeter or tangier, or make it all lemon or all lime, if you prefer.

Pisco Sour, the national drink of Chile. It is similar to the (US) Sidecar, which is (or ought to be) 1 brandy, 2 triple sec, and 2 sour mix in a sugared up glass.

Strawberry Daiquiri. I also love to mix orange juice and 7-up, or coke and rum. Or orange juice and vodka. It's good, trust me. I found out by accident. My mothers vodka was sitting next to my 7-up, It was dark... you can guess the rest.

Ooo Brandy Alexanders...scary. I read a biography of John Lennon a few years ago, and apparently there was a contingent of rock stars in the early 70s that got onto a major Brandy Alexander kick. The book gave Ringo Starr's personal recipe:

7 parts brandy
2 parts creme de cacao
1 part heavy cream
(Shake with ice, strain into a glass)

I made the mistake of trying it. Tastes like chocolate milk; knocks you on your ass! (Of course I invited some friends over and made several pitchers of them...) *dead face*

Sorry, I don't drink. I did have a beer two years ago at Christmas. It upset my grandson so much that I never had one since. He'd never seen me touch alcohol before that and he really didn't want me to again.There is a lot of alcoholism in my family (most of them dry now) and it's not a real good idea for me to tweak he devil.

My favorites vary with the weather and the atmosphere. In the summer, in an outdoor setting, I like fruitier drinks like a collins or Long Island Iced Tea. In the winter, I like Black Russians or Dirty Mothers. I bartended for many years and really enjoyed it. Good luck!

I'm a Zima drinker now. First tried Wine coolers when they had "Spanada" wine,way back in the mid 70's.Experimented with many different types of drinks in those days. White Russian,Black Russian,Golden Cadillac,Grass Hoppers,Rusty Nails,Salty Dog etc,etc,etc. Used to drink "tiKILLya" till I broke my foot running down a flight of stairs.But what really made me stop drinking that was when someone told me that it would age me before my time.I began to get hooked on Scotch but decided to give it up because it made me a mean drunk. so now I have a ZIMA once in a while.
