Simple Pleasures: Drinks

[D.L.M.]

strong grey goose and tonic. you have to have a lime wedge.

Bushmills on the rocks (I know people love their finer whiskies but I can't get enough of Bushmills).

Rum and Ginger Ale.

And lately: my homemade infused vodkas with a splash of tonic.

KJS

Good bourbon or scotch strait up. Add a splash of bottled water if needed.

guids,

I generally toss bitters in my Manhattan, but since we're limited to two ingredients, it's still a good nomination.

Coffee,

If I'm making a 2 ingredient drink with malibu, the 2nd ingredient will be oj or pineapple juice. I know this drink as a panty ripper, but it's been called other things, too.

42, guids,

Godfather is an excellent pick. If you like this drink, also consider the Rusty Nail, which is 3:1 Scotchrambuie and also meets the criteria for this thread. I like that more in the summer, and the Godfather for the winter.

All,

A good drink for someone who likes bitters and is looking for something a little gruff is called Pink Gin. It's simply 3 oz (good) gin and 3 dashes of bitters. Stir with ice, strain, and garnish with a twist of lemon.

This is what I've been drinking for last 2-3 years as my vodka drink, I really needed to switch it up when I'm not having gin. Try it with 1:1 bitter lemon if you want it strong.

Some of my favourites:
greyhound: vodka + grapefruit juice

vodka + sparkling water with a twist of lime (or lemon if you prefer). This is way better than vodka/tonic imo.

In the summer I love to drink caipirinhas. Ingredients are lime, cachaça (a brazilian alcohol made from sugarcane), sugar, and ice.

lynchburg lemonade (fresh lemonade, knob creek, cointreau, mint sprig) and a TTT trinidad fundador

Sprite and captain morgan's. Drank it in high school, tastes like cream soda.

White grapefruit juice and any gin. Delicious.

Black Russians still can't be beat - vodka + kahlua 2:1
Bellinis are much loved by girls - champagne and Peach schnapps 3:1
Daquiri - Rum, lemon juice 3:1, sugar
Stinger - Brandy, white creme de menthe 7:1, pour into tumbler with ice and stir.

Peach Schnapps in a Bellini? All the recipes I've seen for this drink called for peach puree or peach nectar from the real fruit. With the degree of seriousness they took this drink when I visited Venice, you'd probably have been slapped for suggesting Schnapps. I think it could work, and it'll get you drunker, but I'll still go for the real fruit, myself.

Daiquiri is lime, not lemon, no?

Stinger's a good drink though. Another simple one I forgot.
