the workin' man's mint julep

Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
I'm an economist so I drink to worrisome amounts.
I'm a scotch man, but when I go out normally I tend to local beers and IPAs. Now let me power level and tell you about my favorite mixed drink and the story behind it.
In high school I worked for a family company. I was literally the only non blood member of this company. A good friend had me hired in and every friday we did a big family lunch and the owner my friends grandpa would have a manhattan. We all were jokers and he and I stole the cherries out of his drink just to spite him.
He'd get so fussy about this he said I know your 18 but I'll order you drinks if you stop stealing my cherries. Any booze at that age is a score so I agreed. I really enjoy bourbon, and the vermouth smooths it. I don't have a sweet tooth, so I tend to order mine "perfect" while incredibly pompous sounding, it's how I like them (perfect is half sweet half dry vermouth)
While I don't have a sweet tooth. Port and Madera are a weakness of mine. Paired with a high nicotine cigar some stilton oh god I'm drooling even thinking about it. Sipping a '96 LBV Graham as I type this.
As much as I joke about how much I drink really as I'm an old fuck anymore. I enjoy the high test beers barley wines, imperial stouts etc because you can nurse one for an hour or so and hold a mild buzz.
Pretty much anything not Campri or gin I will drink, because gin is hitler and pine trees.

We have liquor on rare occasions (you have to, to stay sane in this house), and I've been trying to experiment with making passable drinks that I can enjoy in moderation (not too hard, not too fruity, basically, 'cause Hypodermic Daddy got had them alcoholic genes and I would prefer not to overindulge to the point I shit myself in public like his side of the family did when they had the shakes, lol).
That being said, I concocted something I called "Shirley Temple's wannabe cherry limeade".
-Start with one shot of vodka (I'm partial to Froggy B brand, sub in whatever your preferred vodka is)
-Add about three fingers worth of Sweet and Sour mix (I use Mr. and Mrs. T)
-Splash in Sprite to fill rest of glass
-Add grenadine depending on how strong you want it - you want it more sweet, it should be more red, more strong, keep it pink.
You could probably splash in actual lime juice if you want to or you have it, to make it more 'authentically limeade', and tweak the amounts of vodka/s+s mix for how drunk you wanna be vs. your tolerance for tasting it, but otherwise it's pretty good for something that was originally just tossed together from leftover drinks in a minifridge.
Also, Cayman Jack bottled margaritas. Got a sixer of those, and they've been great for the political debate nights.

Vodka tonics or vodka shots.
And even though my avatar would lead you to believe it, I don't care for any for of martinis.

Trappist Beer
Whiskey sours are pretty basic, but I like them. sometimes I skip on the egg whites too.
I have a few favorites:

lol maybe to induce a fatal episode of diabetic shock in the kind of person who would actually make these monstrosities.
So, I've been guzzling vodka sodas lately. Over ice. There's a local vodka that's made out of cherries, costs as much as a "good" vodka, but is just a bitch to find. With some soda, the cherry comes through about as much as the alcohol.
I also like a "Dead Island." It's a terrible idea in a glass. It's an oz each of vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey, rum, triple sec, some lime juice, and tonic water. It's pretty much just alcohol. Mixed with more alcohol. It's a bad idea.

I'm a classy bitch, I shove a straw in a bottle of bourbon and call it a night.

My great aunt swears by those. For some reason the only place nearby that makes them puts them in a mason jar. At least they use Tito's; which is a plus.

I have my own drink at a bar in El Salvador, specially, the Quality Inn and Suites at the San Salvador Intl Airport. I was working a contractor gig there last year for six months working on the new airport terminal expansion, and the bartender there, Luis, and his help, Ever, and Carolina, saw me almost daily.
The Drink? It's a "Long Island Dave" (It's not "Dave", It's my real first name in lei of).
It was basically a Long Island, with a Diet Coke and no lime. They put limes in every drink down there and I was sick of them. I heard from a friend that they still call it that. Two or three of those a night and you're done for!
