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. |

take vodka, poor into a large juice glass, pound it down like a man
|
|
If you want to be classy, pour it into a glass and put some goddamned pants on.
|
|
Step 1. Take 1 lowball glass, fill with quality single malt scotch.
Step 2. Consume. Repeat steps 1-2 as necessary. |
|
Experiment with your favorite bourbons and whiskeys with some sour mix. Some combos can be pretty good with sour mix and maybe some fruit. Not all man drinks have to taste like gasoline.

Ice+Capt. Morgan+Ginger ale= Yeah, nothing says sophisticated like bottom shelf booze. Good Bourbon or Scotch Whisky...a glass...maybe a light splash of water or an ice cube. That's sophisticated. |

A Manhattan ... Not complicated, perhaps perceived as "sophisticated" - but that doesn't really matter to me ... I just kinda like 'em. |

A French 75 is a favorite of mine. The syrup isn't flavored so I hope thats ok. GO LIGHT ON SYRUP. I think 1 oz is too much.
2 oz. Gin 1 oz. simple syrup (or 2 tsp. superfine sugar) 1 oz. lemon juice Brut Champagne or other dry sparkling wine It's called a French 75 after the French 75mm howitzer in WWI. It has a reputation for hitting hard, just like the gun. Incidentally the french 75 was so hard hitting because it fired very rapidly. It had a hydro-pneumatic recoil system meaning it stayed in place at the bas and didn't have to be re-aimed to fire again. |

"Godfather". 2 parts scotch, 1 part amaretto. On the rocks. Good stiff sipping drink. The amaretto adds some sweetness, but it definitely still tastes like scotch. You can vary the amaretto to taste also. I think it's good as a scotch on the rocks with a splash of amaretto, but it's pretty harsh that way unless you really like scotch, and/or have a good bottle. Cheaper scotch would work well with more amaretto :P

Caipirinha
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] |

I forget what it is though- I used to tend bar too :/ Drinks that are made with scotch whiskey can usually be done with other sorts of whiskeys, and I'd give it a try. I bet it's good too, especially if you like bourbon. |

Except that's way too much vermouth in the martini. A couple of drops is plenty. |

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. |

Mike's G&T
Bombay Sapphire Gin & Schweppes Tonic Water Start with an old-fashioned glass. Mine is crystal from Crate & Barrel and holds 18 ounces. Fill glass completely with a purchased crushed ice. Avoid using smaller chunks of ice. Pour Bombay Sapphire Gin into glass to 1/2 way mark. Fill to brim with Schweppes. Do NOT use lime. Do NOT substitute any other brand for the Schweppes. Tanqueray and Beefeaters are both acceptable if not quite as good. Enjoy. |
