Add ice to highball (or suitably tall) glass. Add in the liquor, then finish filling the glass with Pineapple Juice. Sweet, tasty, great for summer. I had the drink at a restaurant once and loved it so much I figured out the recipe so I could enjoy it at home. Pretty much my go-to drink these days.
If I'm out of ingredients, then I normally will mix up either a Amaretto Sour, Whiskey Sour, or <insert what I have on hand> sour.
I'm also a huge fan of rekorderlig elderflower. Damned fine drink! Sadly, they don't sell it in the States. Had it when I was on vacation in Vancouver, BC.
It's so tasty it's probably should be banned in several countries. Very smooth, fruity. Yeah, it's a girly drink. Whatever. I'll get my 6'4" bearded ass back up and mix myself another.
There is just no one right answer to this question for me. It depends on the mood, company, and setting.
At clubs where dancing and some form of active participation I love rum and coke.
At home and certain bars I like good craft beer.
Whiskey is a good have-one-drink-alone at the end of a long day candidate.
Ultimately though, good red wine (and by good I don't mean $$$, my favorite is a $10 bottle) is my favorite for all occasions I'd say.
Agreed, I have a lot of favorites based on my mood. In Europe a good bottle of wine can set you back as little as 4 bucks. Wine is over priced in North America and its sad.
So I have heard. I am in a boring suburb where those stores are a few miles away and since I don't (embarrassingly for a 24 year old, can't) drive, the local liquor store down the street is where it's at for me haha.
Those were a nice discovery for me on our trip to the US. In Belgium we hardly get any imported beers (speaking about most bars here, you can still find them in specialist shops), and the beers that are made here are of course mostly 'Belgian style' beers. There are some Belgian breweries that are making IPAs now as well and I welcome that trend!
- 1.5oz Bombay Gin
- 1.5oz Absolut Vodka
- 1.5oz Bacardi White Rum
Fill the remainder with 3 equal parts Mango Nectar, grapefruit juice & orange juice. Shake it all up in the mixer and it should serve about 4.
Note: Use more ice cubes if you want it less sweet.

It's an almost exclusively Canadian drink called the Caesar, and it is like delicious alcoholic soup. If you like Bloody Marys, you might like this.
- Lime wedge
- 1 crisp Celery stalk
- Celery salt
- 4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 to 1 and 1/2 oz Vodka
- 6 oz Clamato Juice
- 2 dashes of hot sauce
Rim a highball glass with the juice from the lime wedge and a combination of celery salt. Add the vodka and clamato juice. Season with pepper, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces to taste. Stir well. Garnish with a celery stick.
Another nice garnish is a pepperette or a thick slice of some kind of spicy salami, stuck on the rim instead of a lime. Mmm, meat and alcohol, what more could you want? Brb, gotta make myself one of these.
My regular drink is a whiskey ginger ale. Ginger ale is actually kind of hydrating compared to other mixers, so I can drink them all night without feeling nauseous or having a terrible hangover. I'm a creature of habit

Ooh. My time to shine.

This sounds very tropical and delicious! Too bad I don't have any of those ingredients otherwise I would be making one in a couple hours.
That sounds so good, I'm going to try it.

On the other hand, you can pick up a decent wine from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's for a few dollars, and most people can't tell the difference anyway.
If a particular wine tastes crappy, just drink until it tastes great!
Yeah Friday!

It is indeed. I rarely drink it anymore as in just a few years,it has doubled in price, even the brands made in my home state.

Jack and coke on ice for me btw.
I like crown royal a lot more than jack daniels. But I also like it with coke.
I taake this back.
Mango Martini: (needs a mixer and ice)
- 1.5oz Bombay Gin
- 1.5oz Absolut Vodka
- 1.5oz Bacardi White Rum

1 shot Johnny Walker Red
1 shot bourbon
1 shot tequila
1 shot vodka
3 shots gin
add cinnamon
add crushed ice
add olive
Drink, but very carefully.
It was this drink that convinced me I'm too prone to addiction to safely continue drinking any alcohol in the future.
Double IPAs are my favorite, although I do enjoy sour beers quite a bit. Flanders Red is on the top of that list.
Tequila! but only on the weekends.
Bloody Mary with a couple sticks of olives. Closely followed by a dirty martini.
A very hoppy American pale ale, Detroit Hip Hops, from our local micro brewery.
How can you choose just one? :)
List 5 if you want! nothing is stopping you.
Rye Manhattans, sweet, up, stirred (not shaken, god damn it), with a maraschino cherry.
TIL that's what those cherries are called.
I'm a big fan of any white whine, particularly chardonnays.
Ooh, what an unfortunate typo!
I meant wine duh! And no I would not like some cheese with my whine :)
I don't drink too often but I do like the occasional glass of sangria with some fruit.
For some reason White Russians have been growing on me lately.
I could use one of those right now.
Hmmm lots of good drinks here, what to drink what to drink.
I'm very boring. I rarely drink but when I do, I want to get it over with so I prefer to just do shots of vodka when I drink.

Depending on the mood:
- Old Fashioned with Sazerac Rye
- Gin & ginger ale
- Mead
- Bavarian Hefeweizen cut with apple cider. Simply amazing.
- Beer
Sierra Nevada for beer and Sapphire and tonic for hard liquor.

Spiced rum and apple juice
Tripel Karmeliet, a delicious 8.5% blond Belgian beer.
