Re: what to drink to seem sophisticated
For a long time, I mostly ordered either beer, gin & tonics, or vodka tonics at the bar.
Jack & coke, etc always tasted too sweet to me.
However, I was recently introduced to a much better mixer - Ginger Ale.
Try a Jack & Ginger Ale or even Gin & ginger ale.... it's really good and not -too- sweet.
Unfortunately, it does sound pretty gay to order.
If you want to stay with masculine-sounding, stick with a gin martini, gin & tonic, vodka & tonic, vodka martini, or a straight liquor like whiskey/bourbon (swede's recommendations of maker's and knob creek are both good)
