Or what has been your go to lately? I’m usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I’m trying to branch out a little these days. What’re you drinking?
Currently sipping on a Paloma:
- 1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
- .5oz lime juice
- 4 oz Grapefruit soda (Jarritos today)
- Pinch of salt
I’ve invited one based on my taste for palomas and pisco sour. El Condor:
- 1oz of Tequila or Mezcal
- 1oz of Pisco (Peruvian)
- 0.5oz Syrup Agave (you can find it in the muesli section) or simple syrup
- 2oz Lime juice
- 2oz grapefruit juice
- 1 Eggwhite to shake if you like it more smooth
- chili salt rim or chilistring garnish
Probably the best cocktail I did so far.
The Dude was on to something, white russian all the way.

99,9% Ethanol, for cleaning and extracting shit.
I dont drink poison lol
I’m a big IPA guy. Especially at 99% great to clean 3D printer bed and flux from PCBs.
And for extracting Terpenes and Cannabinoids ;D
Caipiroska, a Caipirinha variant with Vodka instead of cachaça
Gin and Tonic is my go-to.
The one that catches people off guard, but people generally seem to enjoy once they try is dark rum and orange juice (but the OJ has to be good, the kind thats pulpy / thick).
That’s my reaction with a jager mule usually. Just a Moscow mule, sub the vodka for jagermeister. It sounds way too much, but the flavors of the ginger and the jager fit so well together, it’s really more than the sum of its parts.
Amoretto sour or gin gin
By far, Negroni.
1/3 dark vermouth 1/3 Campari 1/3 gin
Add to a low and wide glass with a fair amount of ice. Smoked rosemary and orange peel for extra infusion of flavour and stir.
You can experiment with the brands and types of vermouth and gin but Campari stays.
My house does a lot of Negroni variations. I will often swap the Campari for Ramazzotti or Cappelletti to dial down the bitterness and add some herbal notes. Also works great as a Boulevardier or with mezcal.
You can have my bottle of campari, I LOVE gin but a Negroni? Nah, that shit is like drinking cough medicine from the 1800s sans heroin.
Replace the gin with bourbon and it becomes a boulivardier! That’s one of my favorites.
Personally a fan of the Sonic Screwdriver, because I like my drinks like I like my ladies: sweet, bubbly, geeky as hell, and able to knock my ass out.
2 parts Sprite
2 parts orange juice
1 part vanilla vodka
1 part Blue Curaçao
Combine and serve in a highball glass on the rocks.
Gimlets with homemade lime cordial if I’m trying to get hammered. Alternatively: death in the afternoon to black out
Dark n stormy with lemon hart 151 and a couple dashes of ango if I’m feeling lazy
Old fashioneds with a nice barrel proof bourbon to unwind
Amaretto sour for something sweet
Vieux carre if I want vermouth
There’s a whole wide world of fancy booze out there, I couldn’t pick just one favorite lol
If I have to pick one drink to take to a desert island, it’s the classic Sazerac.
That is what I will want most of the time when I want a cocktail. However, I will allow a few others to enter rotation, depending on mood, time/temperature, and place:
- Margarita.
- Vesper.
- Pastis.
And, finally, my embarrassing guilty pleasure (which I never order except when I am in company I know well or I am on a Caribbean island): piña colada.
All time favorite: Jungle Bird. The perfect mix of tiki drink in spirit but with a punch and grown up flavors!
Also love me a Bee’s Knees with some high quality gin and honey. There’s a fantastic New England distillery called Barr Hill that makes gin from honey, which makes for an extra amazing one.
I’ve really been enjoying the “Sour” format lately, too. Very versatile with all the random liquors or lower-proof alcohols I’ve collected over the past few years making random drinks.
I dunno about favorite, but my go-tos are an Old Fashioned in the fall and winter, and a Tom Collins in spring and summer.
Those become a Manhattan or an Aviation if I’m feeling fancy or just want to mix it up.
An Ethicurean. I genuinely believe it’s the perfect cocktail but I’ve only ever come across it in a single bar in all my life.
- Serves 1
- ice cubes
- lemon ¼
- thyme 2 sprigs plus 1 to serve
- honey 1 tsp
- vodka 25ml
- apple juice 100ml
A white russian or a raspberry or mango mojito
It always changes on the day but couple of my favourites are
-corpse reviver No. 2 -absinthe sour -pina colada -bloody mary( with gin instead of vodka and homemade chili sauce instead of tabasco)
I am also here to rep Corpse Recover No. 2.
It’s very refreshing. Gin, lemon juice, lillet, cointreaux, and a touch of absinthe.
