Alcohol

Alright people.

I need something new to drink. I'm sick of Vladi and Barton's. Tell me some good liquor. What are your favorite drinks? How do you make them?

Nothing too expensive. Also, I can not drink RUM, Ice 101 or blue curaco(sp?).

If there's a thread for this already, I'm sorry. I want answers from 2004.

Take scotch...add ice or water.

Sorry, I'm not too creative. Bombay and tonic works too.

When I think of scotch I think of butterscotch......but I'm guessing it doesn't taste that good.

As far as drinks go, I usually stick with Red Bull Vodkas, nuts & berries (milk or cream, frangelico, chambord), and chambord 7's. Mango Malibu & Crans are good (FYI for everyone else because I know you don't like Rum).

As far as shots go, I dig Chilled Crowns w/ a splash of sweet sour, STPs (midori, peach schnapps, splash of 7 and splash of pine juice), or brown sugars. You can ask greeklawgirl, squirrely girl, and AXJules about my shots later! Enough Brown sugar shots will also kick your ass:

Splash of midori, butterscotch schnapps
Parrot Bay
Pine Juice
Strawberry Stoli
Watermelon Pucker...all shaken chilled

I know you can't drink rum, but you can't taste the Parrot Bay at all.

This might sound crazy, but kaluha and coke is awesome. Only like 1/5-1/4 kaluha though. It's a good chillin' drink.

I'm a big fan of appletinis too. Or cosmos... mmmm. Those are both vodka drinks.

My good guy friend told me not to drink that b/c the Red Bull makes it go into your system quicker and gets you drunk much faster. Or something.

Do you have a problem with it or does it handle well? I know a lot of deaths have been linked to it. Just curious...

I"m glad this thread started...b/c I need some new drinks too.

I've heard the same stories as well, but I have never had any instances where I've been sick because of it. It has the same effect on me as a regular, say, Vodka/Cran does...but then again my liver's not like yours or your friends, so....?

For some reason it gives me a buzz when I end up taking shots here and there. Maybe I'm just abnormal.

Yes, it's the melon flavored liqueur.

A Grateful Dead is really good...it's a LI Iced Tea, without the Coke and with Chambord instead.

Yum.

When you're home, make some hot chocolate and add a shot of peppermint schnapps. You will not be sorry.

I've never had a problem with Red Bull and vodka either. It's fun to drink once in a while.

I love Stoli vanil and Coke.

I really like mandarin vodka and soda with either a lemon or an orange in it...it's super refreshing and one of the lowest calorie mixed drinks you can order...i think rum and diet is about the same, but this is really good!
Also a Skyy Press is awesome too: vodka (I drink Skyy usually but substitute your own in there), soda and a splash of seven
