We have all manner of erudite, debonair gentlemen on this site. If I ever need to know how to prepare a perfect martini or some exotic drink, I know just where to go. But there's more to life than just saying "I'll have the Müller-Catoir Haardter Mandelring Scheurebe Spätlese, 1990, and make it snappy, champ."

Sometimes a cheap beer will suffice, or a blatantly lowbrow drink. You know what I mean- the ones you're ashamed to admit you ever tried.

Tonight I had a Long Island Iced Tea. Ah, sweet inebriated memories of eight girls packed into my MGB. It's one of those drinks that's a bit too much no matter how light a hand you employ.

A quick splash (no more than 1/2 oz. each) of white rum, gin, blanco tequila, vodka, and triple sec, a bit of lemon juice, sugar or simple syrup, topped with Coke. The official drink to hand to the young lady who says "I'll just have one."

So what's your favorite drink that doesn't deserve to go into our "Classic cocktail" threads? Kamikaze? Zombie? Mai Tai?

oooof. I had one of these (standard size) for the first time in Vegas last week.. Lemmme tell you, one was plenty. Nice taste, but hooo boy they pack a punch.

'Course, Vegas being Vegas, certain bars were advertising 32oz ones for like $5. Good luck moving after that one, let alone standing.

sloe gin fizz
tequila sunrise
grain (that is, Everclear and Hawaiian Punch)
any flavored shots such as root beer, etc.

Not that I do not like junk. I like a PBR. I understand that a snakebite/diesel (cider, lager, and cassis or cheap blackberry kids soft drink syrup)) is considered pretty crass in the UK, but I really have a taste for them, and there is something intoxicating about them more than the sum of their parts.

I am told that kids in Europe are drinking Coke and red wine.

Anything involving Southern Comfort

I used to love Alabama Slammers... My prefered mixed drink at the moment is half creme de menthe and half cognac on ice!

Sangria - does it get any easier?

I don't even think there's a real recipe for it, but if there is, I'll bet the last batch of the night bears little resemblance to the first!:w00t:

As the result of an evening when I was stranded with little on hand: equal parts Kahlua and Dr. Pepper. Way better than it sounds. :biggrin:

Now we're talkin'.

I recall consuming a few tequila sunrises during my formative years, but I can't even imagine trying one now.

My go to chick shot:
A result of asking the barmaid at my favourite hole what the best chick drink she could make as shots was. This was the place I celebrated my 18th birthday three times at at: "Rock Quest" (it's supposed to be clever because it's in the West Island of Montreal, Rock West). The place closed down years ago, probably for the better.

Broken Down Golf Cart
Equal parts Midori, Amaretto, Vodka and a splash of coke.

That's about as low brow as it gets, especially when it's someone's birthday and you get them in trays of 20
