Simple Pleasures: Drinks

Tootsie Roll:

Spiced Rum and Root Beer.

Tastes exactly like a tootsie roll. Found this one when I ran out of coke one night. I was pleasantly surprised to get that taste.

Khaos -

Many of the best food ideas tend to come about accidentally or via initially unwanted substitution. My rums are mostly for guests who do not enjoy vodka, but I do enjoy Tootsie Rolls. I'm going to try this sometime soon, thanks for the idea.

Mint Julep : fresh mint, muddled with sugar, bourbon, crushed ice

Sidecar : 1 brandy : 1 countreau : 1 lemon juice

Old Fashioned : rye or whisky, bitters, sugar, orange

(I know, sort of more than 2)

The problem with these 3 drinks is that they're great when done well, but they taste like ass at a typical bar which is staffed by morons.

Oh yeah, again :

Caipirinha : Cachaca, simple syrup (sugar water), lime

Delicious, but hard to find places with cachaca, people substitute rum and it's no good. Used to have tons of these at "Coffee Shop" NY.

2 drinks that I like that definitely aren't for everyone, but if you're looking for something different, might be up your alley :

Jack Daniels (or your fav whiskey) and Red Bull - It sounds like a very odd combo, and it is, however I love it. I like whiskey and I'm a Red Bull fan. This drink will get your buzz in from the whiskey but keep you awake and wanting to be the life of the party.

Caipirinha - It's a Brazilian drink that consists of Cachaça (alcohol made of sugar cane) and is created by taking fresh limes, throwing them in a glass, crushing them up a little for the juice (you can cheat by just using lime juice but takes away from the fun of the drink) and then adding sugar and ice. It's a little strong at first, but you warm up to it quickly. It's the official cocktail of Brazil.

Damn you, I see you beat me to it!

BTW, while Cachaça can be hard to find (any somewhat big specialty liquor store should carry it), it's quite cheap.

Bailey's and vanilla vodka makes for a nice shot.

Blonde russian: vodka, kaluha, baileys with whatever ratio you prefer for white russians or perhaps a bit more baileys than cream

Nutcracker: equal parts vodka, kaluha, baileys, amaretto

and while not exactly a mixed drink, car bombs were the way i got introduced to the deliciousness of irish cream: drop a shot of baileys into a mug of guiness and chug (if you don't drink quickly, the cream will go awry) put a bit of jameson whiskey on top of the baileys shot if you want.
