Pins colada for me, but some of that is because I don’t like the taste of alcohol so I like lots of fruit flavor to mask it

which one is the one where you take rum and pour in more rum?
I like that one

whatever bottle I have
poured into a glass filled with ice
topped with whatever can of carbonated beverage I happen to have, or juice
maybe water and one of those squeeze bottles of flavorings
that's my favorite cocktail

Gin
i'm thinking about dem gins

White Russian, though I've been warming up to Caipirinha.

>>22012594
I like agua de valencia, cuba libre, michelada, gin&tonic, mojito, piña colada, margarita, long island iced tea, caipirinha, pisco sour and manhattan.

>>22013823
martini
cuba libre
gin and seltzer
that's it

Tequila mule every day brah. Headless horseman sounds like an interesting alternative.
In the winter i like espresso martinis and black russians.

>>22012594
The humble Gin&Tonic overall
The Negroni on certain occasions
The Rum&Coke and Screwdriver if I'm trying to get buzzed quickly

Rye old fashioned

Whisky Sour or Daiquiri tends to do the trick for me

Gin Martini, dirty. With blue cheese stuffed olives. Beefeater is my gin preference for martinis.

I normally drink red wine or scotch straight. Rarely drink cocktails but I have them as a treat a few times a year.

What's a good chartreuse cocktail? I've tried making a last word and a bijou and both were disappointing.

Try the Champs-Elysees cocktail.

Cognac base spirit, with lemon juice, simple syrup, a little chartreuse, and a couple couple dashes of bitters.

Went out earlier today to look for Chartreuse substitutes. I did some research and had a list of things to look for. I found zero of the substitute bottles, but the second store I went to had both Green and Yellow Chartreuse at MSRP, bottled in 2025. Is it starting to be more available again?

>>22015250
Also I live in area where things tend to get price gouged a lot, especially whiskey (which I don't drink anymore), which made it a nice surprise. I noticed they had a bunch of Blanton's sitting out too, but I didn't look at the price since I don't care.

saw this on sale at the site i order from and picked up a bottle. tried it in a cocktail that was pretty much just it and cognac, i liked it. i don't have much experience with irish cream, i've only had baileys as a teenager and i think that's what baileys was supposed to be. i think this thing is less sweet than baileys, if my memories from two decades ago can be trusted

i wanted to try this as well, but i was getting sleepy and called it a night

Tom Collins anyone?
Bloody Mary with the bacon
I'll get a whiskey or amaretto sour when I go out, only because I can't be arsed keeping egg whites at home.

If I'm having youthful guests, I'll make mimosas. Cheap sparkling wine and orange or passion fruit juice, cut to individual tastes. Looks way fancier than it really is

Fuck, I love gin.

>>22015956
>Tom Collins anyone?
Yes. The critical thing with this drink is not watering it down too much with the club soda. It's tempting to just top the glass off. If you use too much it still tastes good but it doesn't have that lemonade feel that it's supposed to. I think about 3oz works well.

>>22016312
Anyway, my method is
2.5oz gin
1oz lemon juice
.5oz simple syrup
Dry shake all of that then pour it in a highball glass with ice, add 3oz club soda, gently stir

>>22012594

I dont often get adventurous with my orders. I hate martinis by the way, just a tiny bit of vermouth in hard alcohol? Just tastes like gin/vodka to me... dirty martinis are cool though

>>22016660
>just a tiny bit of vermouth in hard alcohol
You can order them with more vermouth, you know? 2 parts gin to 1 part vermouth is a common ratio. You can get equal parts as well, or even order the "upside down" version that has more vermouth than gin.

>>22012594
In no particular order - or all #1 if you want to look at it that way:
Dark 'n' Stormy, Negroni, Mai Tai, Hemingway Daiquiri, Industry Sour, and my own "Shit... I have some of this" take on a Floridita Special that I like better than the original (after having tracked down Picon Amer) - 1oz rye, 1oz kina, 1/2oz black amaro (Averna and Montenegro are both good), 1/2 oz curacao, 2 dashes ango, juice of half a lime (1oz ish) - shaken with crushed ice, served with the crushed ice.

>>22017001
1:5 - 1:6 is the most common ratio (half oz dry vermouth to 2.5 gin). 1:2 would be good, but quite "wet", but great for a perfect martini (half dry, half sweet/blanco vermouth).

Citrus peel (usually lemon) and a dash of citrus (usually orange) bitters aren't really optional - when the rest of the drink is so herbal, you need something bright to keep it from being an exercise in cold gin. A long stir or even a shake is also necessary - Martinis and the like should be cold, and by necessity watered down to 25-30%ish.

>>22017031
I normally do 2.5 gin to 1 vermouth, but I like vermouth. Both are refrigerated and I refrigerate the glass beforehand, so stirring it in ice is enough to keep everything cold (I don't think you need to shake a martini). I agree about the lemon peel and orange bitters.

>>22017039
You can also put the gin and the glass in the freezer if you want. I don't like to freeze my glasses though since I'm worried I might end up breaking one since they're crystal.

>>22017039
the ice is there as much for dilution as for chilling the drink. Having twice as much vermouth helps, but most spirit-vermouth-citrus combos do their best work between 50 and 60 proof... which means a decent amount of water from the ice.

>>22017054
That's fine, I just tend to enjoy my drinks a little stronger. When I've done this >>22017043 I've made a martini without diluting anything and built it in the glass since everything is already cold, and I enjoyed it.

>>22017031
>>22017039
Most discourse about martinis center around dry martinis, and dry martinis only exist so alcoholics have a socially acceptable way to chug straight gin/vodka in public.

>>22017119
You can order a triple of room temp gin with a vermouth sidecar. The server/bartender will shoot you a look, but that's the closest thing to even a "Did I hear that right?" you'll get.

>>22015899
Sorry, only ones I know are the Singapore Sling and the Saturn.

>>22017181
A lot of gins play well with a lot of standard tiki ingredients (orgeat, falernum, pineapple, passionfruit, grapefruit-cinnamon syrup, lime, mint) but, yeah, maybe, maybe you'll find a Bermuda Hundred, maybe. It's just not a common inclusion.

double gin, double pineapple, single lime (juice of half of one), half campari, half orgeat, half curacao, a spritz/rinse each white creme de cacao and fernet, dash of ango (or boker's-styled bitters) to hold it together.

>Black & Tan ....
>Gin Sonic (50:50 Tonic-Ginger Beer. just enough Ouzo to make opaque, Orange-Cardmom bitters)
>Cuba Libre OR Paralyzer (condensed Milk ~ a Vietnamese coffee liquor, not too sweet)

Thought of this just now. Would you drink it? Could use suggestions for the dark one.

>>22017291
Dunno about the ouzo and gingerbeer in your gin sonic - feels like it's trying to be a whole lot of things that aren't a toned down g&t.

Which dark one? Black and tans (technically not a cocktail unless you add a third ingredient... technically I can fuck my own hat), and Cuba Libres (technically only a cocktail if the lime 'garnish' is used in the drink, again technically that hat's looking mighty attractive) are both pretty dark. They don't need much fucking with. You could turn the black and tan upside down and inside out with a dark Belgian on the bottom and maybe Kilkenny or a wheat beer up top. Cuba libres are exactly what they need to be, and cola is a fairly complex flavour - you want to get fancy with that, make your own cola.

Digging the idea of a Vietnamese paralyzer. Could have used one of those this morning. This might sound gross, but it works better than it has any reason to - sub tequila in for the vodka.

Apparently a WD-40 is tequila, vanilla vodka and malibu... sounds like it needs something.

>>22018351
Was fixed on a rye vodka, but the Tequila does sound good. Ouzo's just for the cloudy look, bare minimum. Needed something anisetty that wouldn't muscle in on the gin.

File: boodles-british-gin (1).jpg (28.0 KB)

damn the flavor on this is CLEAN. can't wait to use it in cocktails, might replace beefeater as my main cocktail gin, unless i'm feeling really stingy when i go shopping.

>>22015899
Check out the HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A from Smuggler's Cove. It's very tasty.

>>22018896
Bought a bottle of this the other day but haven't opened it yet. Do you think the 80 proof Beefeater is still worth buying? I haven't bothered personally. Shit used to 94 then already got lowered 88 before they nerfed it again.

>>22018896
On a closer look I see the Boodles in your pic is 40% as well. In the US it's 45.2%

>>22019106
>>22019204
yeah beefeater's been 80 proof here for a while, and this one is too. looking at my receipt seems i got a 40% discount, in price terms it's closer to the botanist than beefeater so i doubt it'll become my main mixing gin, but i'm still pretty stoked about how nice it is to drink. if you've found a bottle of this at your desired proof, i doubt you'll be disappointed.

>>22019303
Out of curiosity, are you able to easily get navy strength gin where you live?

File: berkshire-navy-strength-gin-500ml.jpg (154.0 KB)

>>22019309
nah, practically everything available here ranges from 40%-45%. i put "navy strength" in the website i use's search bar and it gave me this. label makes it seem like it's some gay hipster thing but it might be good idk.
you CAN get higher proof than that, but it's a crapshoot, the availability comes and goes and sites don't add filters for that sort of thing. a couple of months ago i got pusser's select aged 151 proof, a bit later rittenhouse rye bottled in bond 100 proof. i definitely really enjoyed both, especially for cocktails and mixed drinks, like a rum and coke or an old fashioned. i bet a gin and tonic with a 47% gin would be kino.

>>22019330
>nah, practically everything available here ranges from 40%-45%
That sucks. I don't see it everywhere here but you can get pic related here pretty easily.
>i bet a gin and tonic with a 47% gin would be kino.
Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray are both 47% here. See if you can find Bombay Premier Cru, I think that's sold as 47% in Europe, and it's really good.

>>22018896
This name is silly, use of this gin should be restricted to tiki drinks and other cocktails with fun names, such as a bee's knees
Use a dour [insert British sounding name] gin for other purposes

>>22019367
Navy strength works well in a gimlet

2:1 is the best martini I've tried so far. I like vermouth and I want to clearly taste it in the cocktail. Hell, I like drinking vermouth straight. Need to try a 1:1 soon.

>>22013558
That's a zombie and it's great if you can a place that makes a decent one
