I have to go with the Old Fashioned right now. I just started drinking it a few months ago and it has become my drink of choice. Now if it's a busy night at the bar and the bartender would kill me for asking for a drink that takes more than 10 seconds to prepare, I'll probably just get beer. But if it's a good bartender that has the time to put the effort into the drink it deserves, it's so worth it. I had to google what "bitters" was.

godfather vodka martini. mind blowing. this is one of my specialties at the bar i work at :D

i also make a mean pear kamikaze and my rum runners are bitchin.

for the ladies: pomegranate martini, i make mine with belvedere grapefruit vodka, pomegranate liqueur and freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice. which is still not outdone by my cancun monsoon, to date my most successful recipe. if i make one i end up making sixty.

don't get a professional mixologist started on these types of threads :)

I never know what to order at a bar, so I stick to gin and tonics.

oh god no

you are missing out

my pet peeve is dick bartenders that are too snarky to help someone pick out a drink. i love helping people decide on something that suits them, make suggestions, suggest particular flavors, etc... if i end up making someone their new favorite drink it's a successful day :cheers2:

Suggest something for me, please.

I did have some banana thing at Margaritaville that was delish. That was years ago, though. I guess I like fruity things.

what have you had besides gin and tonics that you like? any particular liquors or drinks?

do you like stuff really sweet? really fruity? give me some guidelines and i'll make some suggestions.

A long time ago, someone here who was a bartender said that they never put alcohol in frozen drinks. I haven't ordered one since.

I like sour stuff, and a little sweet. Fruity is fine. If it helps any, I love white peach sangrias.

Whoever that was is lying, or speaking for himself. You can watch them make it. Its made the same, then ice gets dumped in it or whatever.

But anyhow, like I said, no problem is too big for Keith Stone to fix.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
