Favorite Cocktail Thread

Hey folks,

Recent discussion of bad Long Island Iced Teas got me inspired.

Tell me your favorite cocktail. If possible, include liquor brand and so forth.

I'll start:

Plymouth Gin Gimlet. Lots of fresh lime. Only a splash of Rose's. Should not look particularly green. Two lime wedges. Up.

Go!

Vodka martini-Grey Goose/Ketel One (I'm indifferent between the two)

I rarely drink cocktails aside from the occasional gin and tonic. Scotch (Lagavulin, Glenmorangie, Glenlivet) or bourbon (Knob Creek, Makers Mark) on the rocks for me.

Bourbon on the rocks. I've been drinking Knob Creek or a small batch Jack Daniels (yes i realize it's not technically a bourbon) lately.

My favorite drink is simple. Bacardi Rum with Coke.
On vacation, I go w/ the more "Tropical Drinks". I like Margaritas or Alabama Slammers.
As for shots, nothing beats a snakebite.

I LOVE a good bourbon... usually rocks, unless I'm really feeling intense and then I'll drink some up.

Baker's is excellent if you haven't tried it, as is Woodford Reserve. Knob and Maker's are also great and they're the ones usually available.

Bourbon Manhattan, straight up. Maker's Mark is my staple.

If you want a good girly drink, try a real Mai Tai, made the old school Trader Vic's way, with lime juice and orgeat syrup -- none of this pineapple juice and crap.
