Re: what to drink to seem sophisticated
Mojitos are definitely good as far as girly drinks go.
Seriously though, Bourbon is the way to go. Start out mixing it half and half with water, then slowly decrease the amount of water as you get used to the taste. It's very mellow, and makes for the perfect social drink, as it doesn't fill you up like beer and you feel much better the next morning compared to hammering down beers all night.
I like the standard "good" brands like Makers Mark or Knob Creek, and for budget drinking (i.e. around the house when there's no one to impress) I go for Wellers.
