What's Your Favorite Mixed Drink?

[China]

It's the offseason, and I know in the last year we've had multiple what's your favorite beer threads; so what is your favorite mixed drink? Feel free to post recipes. FYI, this is what got me thinking on this subject:

A sting in the tale: drinking Snake Wine (http://www.pilotguides.com/destination_guide/asia/vietnam/snake_wine.php)

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese snake wine there is no more obvious and better place to find it than Snake Village in Hanoi. Watching the drink being made is not for the faint hearted but if you’ve got as far as here then your curiosity will see you through.

In the restaurants and bars of Snake Village various lethal snakes are kept on show in cages for the customers to choose from. Once picked it usually takes two men to kill the angry reptile, one to hold it upright and the other to slice it open from head to tail. The blood is then poured into a vat to be mixed with rice wine. Not much goes to waste as the heart is cut out and the gall bladder is emptied and mixed with wine in shot glasses. After the drinking is done the snake is fried and served up over several hours.

If you don’t want to see all of this there is the option of a “here’s one I made earlier” drink. Other forms of the wine are left to ferment in vats for a few weeks after it’s been poured over the body of a dead snake. You can see these vats in some of the bars; big glass jars, some containing up to ten snakes coiled around in the bottom.


Problems have arisen due to the popularity of the drink with the Vietnamese. As the main culler of rats, snakes are now highly regarded. Hanoi has seen an endemic rise in the number of rats roaming the streets without their main predator there to bother them. As a result the government stopped the sale of snakes and cats to China and put a trade ban on many restaurants that serve the wine.

I am ashamed to admit: Jack Daniels and Coke.

Crown Royal on the rocks, but it's not a mixed drink.

[TSmithTheReal#36]

Cap't and Coke :notworthy

[skinzfan4life]

Red Bull and Vodka.....also Pimp Juice (Nelly's Version of Red Bull) & Vodka is quite good.

[thito_da_skins_fan]

Red Bull is good with almost anything.

I usually go through stages with mixed drinks.

Currently, you can find me sippin on a Grey Goose and Pineapple.

Tequila Sunrise (with Patron) is pretty good too.

[pez]

long island

[StrongMad]

red bull-yager-vodka kinda smells like shampoo though(ti me anyway i could be nuts)

[Destino]

1 - Rum & Coke
2 - Red Bull & Vodka
3 - Vodka Tonic

Don't be shamed... nothing wrong with that!

It might not be what James Bond orders, but who cares? :)

[zoony]

And for the record, I prefer Gin mixed with Gin, with a dash of Gin and a little Gin on the side.

[UtahSkinsFanatic]

My favorite mixed drinks would be anything that can give me a great buzz! But if I had to choose it would be Sex-on-the-Beach followed closely by the Long Island Iced Tea.

:koolaid:

[halter91]

A shamrock is damn good, Bacardi Limon, Red Bull and a splash of Blue Curaco. Cap Coke is bad stuff, my worst hang over ever. Malibu Bay Brezzes are really good, but they look so sissy-ish. Capn and Ginger is good too.

No need to be ashamed.

Ol #7 & Coke is the Official drink of the Empire.
;)

[Blondie]

I rarely drink, but if I do, I drink Sex on the Beach or a Margarita on the Rocks.

None of that frozen stuff for me.

Sex on the Beach is what I would consider a chick drink.

[dchogs]

beam and ginger ale for me

Glad to hear it. :)

It carries a certain stigma here in Australia. Plus they do this disgusting thing where they sell premixed cans of Jack and cola, which are NOT the real thing at all.

[BleedB&G4life]

1738 (Remy) & Coke or Apple Martini.
:cheers:

Ice cold too! I would enhance it with a lime though.

[TC4]

Don't drink anymore, but back in the day, the main drink of choice was Jack Daniels and Sun Drop

For those of you who might have never heard of Sun Drop, go here:

[riggins44]

1. Crown and Coke
2. George Dickel with Coke chaser

Not a big mixed drink fan, mainly drink beer.

[ngrubb8242]

Pink Panty Droppers are the best mixed drink hands down...everclear, pink lemonade, ice, a lil beer

You too, eh? :)

In college when I first started drinking Gin we used to drink the Seagrams which is decent.

But right about the time I got married my dad bought me a bottle of Bombay Sapphire.

Damn... now there is no going back to the cheap stuff :(

My habit quadrupled in price :)

[Doozinbrah]

1. Grey Goose Martini No Vermouth Extra Dirty( lots of olive juice)
2. Long Island+ Bacardi 151
3. Crown and Seven up

And for a drink I had that was really good but very Fru Fru. A Pink Squirrel tasted like strawberry quick.

[dannyboy70]

The Summer Hummer. 1/2 Gin. 1/2 Limeade. Lotta ice.

[flashback]

Rusty Nail

a shot (or 2) of Scotch and a splash of Drambuie. Its hard to find a bartender who doesn't put too much Drambuie in, though. I also enjoy Scotch and Bailey's (a Shillelagh), and the occaisonal Black Russian.

[jenmdixon]

In my drinking days, it was:

1) Alabama Slammer
2) 7up/Hawaiian Punch/Stoli
3) Madras

These days, I don't drink (except for occasional glasses of wine), so Crystal light is pretty much how far I go for mixes ;)

[EvoSkins]

A Hurricane

[Ignatius J.]

Macallan 12 Neat, mixed with a second shot of macallan.

Oh I've not only seen them here, I've tried them. ABC store's are closed on Sunday. ;)

They're weakly mixed & use a generic cola. The Jim Bean ones suck just as bad.

They have them in the States? How crushing! I thought the US was far too proud and dignified for such a thing.

[GASkinsfan28]

:mmm: Anything with alchohol in it:D

[Tarhog]

Its pretty rare that I'll drink something besides beer, but I love a good gin and tonic. My mom used to make the best Bloody Mary's known to man. I'll even throw a recipe at you:

jigger of good vodka
dash of worcestershire sauce
1/4 inch of lemon juice
3 shakes of 'bitters'
3 shakes of Texas Pete or hot sauce of choice
generous sprinkling of Lawry's seasoned pepper
dash of celery salt
Top it off with Clamato Juice.

Awesome.

I'm also fond of Kahlua (with anything) - but I think I could get addicted so I don't drink it often.

When I was in the Marine Corps, we'd head out of Camp Lejeune in NC to Emerald Island. We'd mix Stoly, and frozen pineapple juice in jugs. We christened it a 'Jacuzzi bamboozi'. Can't beat it on a really hot day. Although I'll confess...waking up with a ferocious hangover with the tide washing over you and sand in your crack - its not pretty :)

If I had it, I can't remember it.

Although, I'm almost certain it was incredible ;)

[ArmchairRedskin]

Beer and vicodin :mmm: :laugh:




Nah I usually drink gin and juice, as cliche'd as it is. The bartenders are all like "OK Snoop" even though I started drinkin the stuff even before Snoop's song. Ah well...

Some guy about two years ago was making a bunch of those during a tailgate at FedEx....exactly as you described above. I loved it! It went down smooth at 9:30 a.m. BUT after having a "few" of them....let's just say by 12:00...:thud: (they hit me HARD!)

Then by kickoff, I was this guy....:dunce:

:doh:

I stick with Captain and Coke or Jack and Coke. Mostly, I drink beer.! :cheers:

That Sounds good! When I was at Lejeune we would head to Wilmington or Greenville, and would always drink Southern Comfort and Dr. Pepper. Now a days if I smell SoCo I'll:puke:

[Park City Skins]

Jack and Jack.

In bartending days. Before shift. Jack, Jaeger, Stumbleminze and Jaeger. During shift. Anything customeres bought.

I stopped drinking in '97 but when I did? Mixed drinks of choice were a "Tom Collins," or a Kamakazi.

Hell, I've even helped to contribute to it.

[Johnny Punani2]

Alabama Slammer.

[fishrgirl]

Have to go with a margarita, and a good ol' fashioned traditional one. None of this froo-froo-she-she peach-mango-raspberry-schnozberry crap crap crap.

Hurricanes are a verrrry close second, though.
