Default Simple Pleasures: Drinks

Post in this thread mixed drinks with no more than 2 ingredients, plus ice or sugar.
An old favorite I have recently gone back to is the very simple:

Vodka and Bitter Lemon [Canada Dry]-
Pour 2oz Vodka [Chopin, Belverdere, Goose, whatever] into highball glass. Add bitter lemon soda [and ice cubes] to taste. No garnish.

What are some foolproof drinks you like with no more than 2 bottles needed to mix?

I love polar bears.

Ideally it is a mix of Vodka, Creme de Menthe and Tia Maria but some people make it without the Tia Maria.
Tastes like good chocolate mints.

Godfather:

3:1 Scotch:Amaretto. I will use bourbon as well. Wookie mentioned it in one of his booze threads.

It is of my opinion that bitters ruins a manhattan, I know its "supposed" to be made that way, but most places dont, and I dont like it much.
