Hello /ck/. Going to the bar today and was wondering if you have any recommendations for some cocktails? I usually stick to Gin and Tonic but wanted to try something new.
Gin mule. You may have to say it five times unless your bartender is competent. Be sure to enunciate that "n". You do not want a Jim Beam mule. Also:
French 75
Dirty and filthy martinis
Gin and juice
[Favorite liquor] and Ginger
Coke is for plebs
>>8091347
Pina colada) everybody will be impressed.
>>8091347
Long Island iced tea or a mojito
tom collins or vodka collins
moscow mule
>>8091347
Vodka tonic in a lowball glass, 2 cubes, Canada Dry tonic and a 6th slice of lime squeezed all to hell and dropped in. The perfect idiot proof summer drink.
>>8091347
It's still summer so I"d recommend a gimlet with gin or vodka. Your choice. Not too fruity or complicated and is respectable for a guy to drink. I know some of us here will get onto me for that last remark, but deep down we all know it's true.

Not really a drink but I have lately been enjoying the pancake shot immensely. Jameson and butterscotch schnapps, then a sip of orange juice from a separate shot glass. Once you try it you will want one every time you go out. if you like pancakes that is. Also sometimes called the breakfast shot and served with bacon

Talk to your bartender. They might have a suggestion for you and if it's not to busy they are happy to help.
But if you want to seem like you know something. I love old fashions and you want to stick with Gin go with a Gimlet.
>>8092321
This is the only manly option.
If the bartender forgets to garnish with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg then slam the glass down onto the bar, take off your white glove, and use it to slap the bartender across the face.
Women will adore you!
cucumber gimlets are a great refreshing drink

this is my shit
I drink cheap red wines, stouts and vodka straight. Yesterday I had a tom collins and a dry martini for the first time.
Is this what love feels like?
Order a negroni, become the envy of all your friends.
>>8091547
tom collins is the best bet, if your favorite is a G&T and you're looking for something similar
>>8095013
negronis are a good drink if you like intense flavor
but for me? if i'm in a maximalist mood, i go for "the last word". been a favorite since i was 15 and thought nietzsche had some good ideas.

Why are mojitoes considered girly? I make mine half rum, half club soda + sugar + lime + mint
>>8091347
gin fizz

Wow that sounds delicious and will tell everyone I want to have my ass plundered by a large man in the bathroom.

Last words are dank, Aviations are excellent too and a good entry point for people who have yet to become gin fans. A luxardo cherry in one will seal the deal.

I've never had a fucking gin fizz that looks like that

Vodka cranberry
Ask for a 007
>>8091347
brandy & soda with lemon
>>8091540
I'd add a shot of jaeger on the side of that mojito. Solid otherwise.
>>8091540
I used to love a mojito. Now I'm a month sober so I can't.
Opening this thread was a mistake.
