Place lime and sugar into old fashioned glass and muddle (mash the two ingredients together using a muddler or a wooden spoon). Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the Cachaça.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caipirinha#cite_note-1][2][/url] You beat me to it. Strong drink. But not bad to drink, very light summer flavor. |

Quoted: Manhattan = whiskey + sweet vermouth + agnostura bitters + optional maraschino cherry Rob Roy = scotch + sweet vermouth (optionally, dry vermouth) Gin & Tonic = well, duh. I don't know what its called but I like it. Drambuie + soda water + lime juice = win, especially if you like scotch. Ooooh, never tried a Rob Roy with dry vermouth. I usually go heavy on the bitters and light on the vermouth so I should give that a shot! |

Vesper martini:
3 to 1 to 1/2 parts Gin, Vodka and Lillet Blanc. I suggest Hendricks and Absolut or Stoli. Get it very cold, shake it hard if you want it diluted, stir if you want it strong. Garnish with a lemon twist. Yes, it's from James Bond (though Kina dry Lillet isn't made anymore and was more bitter than today's, and Hendricks isn't your typical gin), but it's also a killer martini.

Vodka and orange juice
Take orange juice freeze into Ice cubes Put oj cubes in glass to top fill airspaces with vodka. Sip slowly. Stir as melt occurs. Liquorice shake: Breyers premium vanilla ice cream milk anisette make a milk shake season with anisette to taste. This will take multiple tries to get right. You have to mix in the anisette in the blender with the milk and ice cream. Kahlua can be substituted for the anisette. Happy drinking |

Are you going fag on us again Kap?
Pour it straight into a glass and fucking drink it. BTW, if you haven't tried Makers 46 I had quite a bit of it last weekend. Good stuff, recommend trying it at least once just to say you did. |

If you like Bourbon...The Manhattan Manhattan 5 parts American whiskey 1 part Italian (sweet) vermouth dash of Angostura bitters to each drink Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and serve garnished with a maraschino cherry. |

I don't care for gin at all and I've tried the tradtional martini recipe, and it doesn't work for me, but I spent alot of time figuring out a cocktail based on the "vodka" martini that fits my taste.
I call it "The Smoking Gun". I based it of a drink known as the "silver bullet" 3 parts Vodka (I use Stolichnaya) 1 part dry vermouth (I've used several so no preference) 1/2 Bourbon (seems good with Makers Mark, J.D., or single malt scotch) Shake all with ice that is fresh and not sitting in the freezer for 2 weeks and strain into a cocktail glass. I garnish with three green olives. Let me know if any of you try it. |

Throw Me Down and Fuck Me1 1/2 tsp Southern Comfort® peach liqueur 1 1/2 tsp Crown Royal® Canadian whisky 2 tsp grenadine syrup 1 tsp pineapple juice Place the two liquors into the bottom of a shot glas. Add pineapple juice and grenadine, mix well, and serve. |

Here's one I figured out last weekend and was surprisingly good.
2 parts unfiltered Sake 1 part premium tequila (I used Cabo Wabo) On the rocks and stir. Don't stand up too fast. |

Makers 46 + glass + 2 or 3 ice cubes = win
Drinking some right now |

One I came up with on a hot summer day, since I LOVE gin and tonics and LOVE martinis I froze a tray of tonic.
Fill shaker with tonic cubes and pour a good gin over it and shake the hell out of it. Pour in glass then enjoy the best of both worlds. |

Drinks that actually fit what you asked for instead of soda and liquor:
I drink primarily whiskey. Generally Marker's Mark, Knob Creek, JD, Crown Royal, or Wiser's Deluxe (if I'm on a budget) on the rocks. Give me some "classy" drink recipes. They don't have to use whiskey as a base. Not a bunch of sugary fruit shit, no Jägermeister, and no sizzurp. Martinis are welcome, but hoping for some other stuff. Real Martini: 2 oz Tanqueray (The normal kind, no hypens or non traditional varients.), 1 oz Cinzano Dry Vermouth (Do not substitute Martini & Rossi), Drop or two of Fee Brothers Orange Bitters (strictly optional), Can be shaken or stirred with ice. Pour after very cold into Martini glass making sure all ice is left behind in the shaker. Add 1 pimento stuffed olive, preferrebably packed in vermouth. Manhatten: 2 oz Sazerac Rye Whiskey, 1 oz Cinzano Sweet (red) Vermouth, drop or two (no more) Angastora Bitters. Stir with ice until cold. (Do not shake.) Pour after very cold into Martini glass making sure all ice is left behind in shaker. Cherry is optional. If cherries are used, recommend brandied cherries and not maraschino. These. Except that's way too much vermouth in the martini. A couple of drops is plenty. You can't get a good Martini at a bar. They use Martini & Rossi and it is usually old because people learned to order Martini's by watching TV. Martini & Rossi, especially stale & old, taste like fish. It's horrible. Cinzano Vermouth is very good and gives a Martini a crisp, dry snap. This goes in Martini's http://s9.thisnext.com/media/230x230/Cinzano-Dry-Vermouth-750ML_566A93DA.jpg Okay, I'll try it your way.

manhattan
old fashioned gin and tonic martini (real martinis have gin and vermouth in them, if you want vodka straight up, just order it that way. stirred too.) neat scotch with a water back to be added to taste rusty nail scotch and soda moscow mule or dark and stormy pegu club pimm's cup sidecar aviation gimlet (again gin, not vodka) negroni daiquiri (not frozen) margarita (see above) caipirinha mint julep sazerac cape cod gin flip gin rickey To me these are all classic cocktails. Some are easier to make than others. Trying to find everything you need for say an aviation can be difficult unless you have a great liquor store. On a side note this thread is disturbing. A forum full of "manly men" being asked for non-sweet drinks and he gets told to make a milkshake? |

But they are really getting carried away with the Hawkeye Pierce thing when they rinse the glass with vermouth and throw it out. Bombay Sapphire is good gin. However, Tanqueray holds it's own in a Martini better. Much stronger flavors. |

"Not even close to an old fashioned" Okay what? I learned from a friend of the family..It was our regular drink out in the woods. 2 oz blended whiskey bourbon 1 sugar cube 1 dash bitters 1 cherry 1 slice orange Place the sugar cube, bitters, cherry and orange slice and 1 tsp. water in an old-fashioned glass. Muddle well, add blended whiskey, and stir. Add a twist of lemon peel and ice cubes. |

Here's something I came up with. I mix up a big batch of it for an annual party at my place and put it into one of those round coolers with a spigot and a ziplock bag full of ice (keeps it cold without watering it down). You can either drink it as a shot, or mix it ~50/50 with club soda (plain or lemon-lime flavored) and drink it on the rocks with a slice of lime in it (my preferred method of drinking it).
Limey Bastard 1 part Bacardi white rum 1 part Myers Dark rum 1 part triple sec 1/2 part Bacardi 151 2 parts Rose's Lime Juice 3 parts fresh squeezed lime juice For a single drink, I'll use a half-jigger measure following the ratios above, shake well with ice and then pour into a tall glass with ice. Top off with lemon-lime club soda, run a lime slice around the rim and then throw it in the drink. Very refreshing for a hot day. |

try a manhatten with your favorite cheaper bourbon
any high end bourbons, blended whiskeys, scotches, can stand on their own and should not be mixed with anything except maybe an ice cube or two or a splash of water |

mint julip with your favorite sheap to mid range bourbon
not for everyone and probably not a year round drink |

Arnold Palmer made with Jeramiah Sweet Tea Vodka is an amazing drink during the summer. Half Jereamiah, half Lemonaide over ice in a highball.

My personal favorites:
Long Island Ice Tea-Lots of ingredients, very strong, very fun to play with. You can mix it a million different ways with a million different variations on mix, liquors, and everything else. I always try to get mine to look exactly like, and even taste a bit, like iced tea. With practice and variations it is amazing how close you can get. GIN martini-As another poster mentioned, a vodka martini.........isn't. Quality gin, wash an ice cold martini glass with dry vermouth, don't be stingy with the olives and enjoy. A dirty martini isn't too bad either. Well mixed and served properly it should really not have much, if any, bite. Will be fairly smooth and have that 'sophisticated' taste you are after. However, martini's are almost dead. Here is how the conversation usually goes when ordering one: "Yes, I would like a martini, three olives." "Sure! What kind of vodka would you like?" "No, I ordered a martini. Bombay Sapphire now that you mention it." "Isn't that gin? What type of vodka would you like?" "No, a GIN martini. A real one. Made with gin and vermouth." "Really??? That sounds weird. But okay, I'll ask the barkeep." Lastly, another poster mentioned a good imported vodka taken straight. Not a bad idea. Good, original Russian vodka doesn't taste anything like it's western counterparts (top shelf included). Different brands have a very distinctive flavor and taste. Goes down a lot smoother than the ole' Absolut or Gray Goose. It is a drink unto itself. Serve chilled with no ice or anything else. |

a few thin slices of cucumber and 1oz simple syrup muddled in a highball, add 2 oz hendricks gin, fill with cracked ice, and shake vigorously for 5 seconds. you can thank me for the cucumber gimlet later... |
