Steeltrap, now you're my kind of drinker!!! I'm a martini and gimlet girl all the way. I'll have to try the variations you've mentioned (especially that peachtini). But here are my favorites:
Grey Goose & Tonic
Vodka Gimlet w/ Grey Goose
Dirty Martini w/ you guessed it .... Grey Goose
Rasberry Stoli Kamikaze

I'm also a wine enthusiast. I prefer white wines and my favorites are:
Schmitt Sohne - Riesling (more of a desert wine)
Ecco Domani - Pinot Grigio
Casa Lapostolle - Chardonnay

If I partake of red wine, my favorites are:
Artesa Sonoma - Merlot
Castello di Volpaia - Chianti

If any of you are into desert liqueurs, you HAVE to try Nocello. It is a walnut liqueur and it is sooooo yummy. You can usually find it in more upscale Italian restaraunts, but I've resorted to ordering it online.

Damn ... maybe I am an alcoholic .... :eek:

Sayyyyyyyy there! I love a good cosmopolitan...

I thought of some more last night, lol.

I like the new Bacardi Silver when just lounging.

Also, there is a Puerto Rican liquor called Pasoa (kinda hard to find in my neck of the woods, I am not sure about elsewhere)...it is the bomb!

Ideal08, any drink made with 151 is lights out for me, lol.

I will see everyone at the meeting next week, lol.

Hello, my name is Librasoul and... :D

I tasted some red wine and it was gross! That must be an acquired taste that you have to have. It looks like a dark fruit punch so, I thought that it would be good. I probably should just stick to some kind of wine cooler.

Kimmie1913 05-31-2002 02:13 PM

You have hit many of my favorites already.

Cosmos (I like them with Skyy Citrus)
French martinis
long islands
Vodka and Cran
A new fav is Rasberry stoli and Sprite (yum!) (I overheard someone order one inHoustons and after that I was hooked!)
Midori Sours
Madras (vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice)


That's pretty good for starters...
(and no, I am NOT an alcoholic!)

OK....I'm definately going to be in the minority here...

I don't like HARD liquor at all...probably because of some really bad drinking experiences in college. So, I don't really do mixed drinks at all.

I'm an avid wine drinker. I used to work for an australian wine company, so I have acquired a pallet for nice full-bodied red wines (Shiraz, Cab/Shiraz blends, merlot, cab). I also LOVE good champagne. I don't get down with any cheap stuff either, so if I can't have the good stuff, I'd rather do without. Red wine really is an acquired taste, but if you have a well-trained nose and pallet and can pair wines with your foods, you'll be hooked.

I also like really good beers. I do like the taste of hard-to-find imported beers.

Star Turtle 05-31-2002 03:15 PM

my deal
 
around here, it's kinda hard to find a place where the bartender is anywhere near skilled, so we get used to simple things, or we teach ourselves to mix drinks (a dummie's guide to bartending!)

my favs...

skyy blue
bacardi sliver
screwdrivers (YUM!)
long island ice tea
jungle juice (it's the sig tau's signature - doesn't matter how well you can drink - when this hits you, you know it!)
shots - i love shots - i'll try all kinds of different shots

that's just how it is

I'm not an alcoholic, they go to meetings - I don't have time for that - gotta get drunk!

This sounds yummy, but I have a few questions for you:
1. So, when you mix the two mixtures together, you're mixing the Bacardi 151, the Skyy Vodka and the fruit?
2. How much alcohol/fruit do you use? Do you use this recipe to make a pitcher?
3. Is it eating the fruit that @#$%s you up or just letting it sit in the drink?

I'm having a Tyson-Lewis fight party next week and I'd love to make this drink, thus all the badgering.

RedefinedDiva 05-31-2002 11:32 PM

Man, I am dealing with some SKILLED drinker up in here! :D Although I am only a "social" drinker ;) , I know a good drink when I taste one.

My list of favorites are:

1. Midori Sours
2. Cosmos
3. Parrot Bay and Hawaiian Punch
4. Hurricanes
5. 190 Octane
6. Bacardi Limon and Sunny Delight
7. Mudslides
8. Most flavors of daquiri
9. My "House Special" (it includes rum, gin, and vodka, fruit punch, fruit cocktail-just dump a can in the pitcher, a small bit of sugar to take the edge off, and to make the party LIVE- pour in a little EVERCLEAR)

When I feel like chillin', I just go with a good ol' Shirley Temple (Sprite with a shot of cherry juice). :D

Good Topic
 
Let's see. When I'm at a party and I just want to get my chill on it's Sex On The Beach. When I want to get a quick buzz (in my best Nikki Parker's voice) it's Alize'. Although the last time I sipped Alize' (sipped=chuggalugged), it did quite a number on me. I haven't had any since.

Side Bar - definitely not an alcoholic, I just have a VERY low tolerance for alcohol.
