I'm looking to practice my cocktail making, and I found a few interesting recipe ideas. I wanted /ck/'s opinion on exactly what brand of alcohol I should be using to mix them with; I'm looking for the most cost effective option.

When it comes to mixing, what brand of spirit would you recommend for
>vodka
>gin
>rum
>whiskey
>brandy
>>

Admittedly a large part of this is novelty, a few fantasy-inspired recipes, so I'll post some of what I'm using.

>2 shots vodka
>1 shot gin
>juice 1 orange
>juice 1 lemon
>juice 1 lime
>shake
>garnish with a slice of lime
>>
Drunk Dragon:
>1 shot vodka
>1 shot gin
>1 shot blueberry syrup
>serve without ice
>garnish with slice of pineapple
>garnish with small dollop of whipped cream
>>
>>9241487
for home-practice?

Short Green Guy:
>muddle mint leaf
>1 shot vodka
>juice 3 limes
>shake over ice
>garnish with slice of lime
>>
>>9241528
Oh, yeah, all for at-home practice. When I get some practice in, I'm gonna try to host a small get-together, supplying interesting alcoholic drinks.

Fair point, I do need to work on that. At the moment I'm just listing the fruitier, more dessert-like cocktails. I'm gonna get to some heavier ones when I get back later today.

Sub the vodka for Cointreau and you have a decent riff on a Sidecar

>>9241572
Sounds great, thank you for the guidance.
Fog Cutter:
>2 oz orange juice
>1 ounce lemon juice
>.5 oz orgeat syrup
>1.5 oz white rum
>.5 oz gin
>.5 oz brandy
>.5 oz sherry
>>
>>9241565
You're also mixing a bunch of liquors, almost Long Island Iced Tea style, which will make the flavors of the spirits clash. Like why would you mix rum, gin, brandy, and sherry? Choose a main spirit and then develop the drink out of that. Like a botanical gin would go well with herbal, citrus, and bitter elements but less so with sweet rum, oaky brandy, and nutty/tangy sherry.
I know you didn't come up with the Fog Cutter but it's not the best way to use your spirits.

>>9241626

>>
>>9241487
Vodka: Smirnoff, Absolut
Gin: Bombay Sapphire, tanqueray if feeling fancy
Rum: I highly recommend Brugal white rum
Whisky: usually you'll need Bourbon, so Bulleit is a good and not so expensive choice
Brandy: no fucking idea m8
