My usuals are the Black Russian and the Gin and Tonic.
Black Russian = 1 jigger vodka, 1 jigger kahlua and coke, in a tall glass.
G&T = 2 jigger gin, a splash of Rose's lemon squash and tonic water, in a tall glass.
Jameson Whiskey
Ginger Ale
Ice
Squeeze of lime
Lime slices
Tanqueray and cranberry juice with lime
Is your mind on your money?
And my money on my mind, yes.
Aviation. I like gin and I don’t care for bitter much.
i love fruity drinks, pina colada is my favorite but bartenders hate making it so i just go for whatever cocktail has coconut or pineapple flavor
Pineapple juice, whiskey, and a squeeze of lime is so much better than it should be.
Why do bartenders hate making piña colada? (I feel guilty now)
some places may only have 1 blender and they have to clean it out after every use
Good whisky, neat
Decent whisky, bitters, club soda, ice in a short glass.
Gin, flavored fizzy (LaCroix etc), splash of lime juice, ice
Gin shaken with ice, small rinse of dry vermouth in glass, 3-4 blue cheese olives
4:3:3:4 añejo tequila, grand Marnier, key west lime juice, honey simple (50/50 honey and water) shaken or blended with ice. (Could sub honey for sugar free sweetener to be "healthy")

Not a specific drink suggestion, but I really love “vector bar”. It’s an app where you can track the ingredients you have on hand, and it will give you recipes based on what you have. It has a lot of other great features, too.
back when i drank, mint julep.

I love fruity strong cocktails and this one tastes just like jelly babies. It's so good!

I don't usually go for cocktails, but when I do I really like a peaty whiskey sour, or a boilermaker with Guinness or a session IPA and again a peaty whiskey.
