Currently sipping on a Gin & Tonic (Tanqueray & Q-Tonic w/ aromatic bitters and lime) and I got to thinking two things:

1) What else is everyone drinking on tonight?
2) What is your go-to cocktail?

In college, you wouldn’t find me caught dead with a bottle of gin. My go-to at that time was a whiskey and coke.

However, this year I had multiple instances of business travel to London (my first time to London) and I quickly realized that, damn, I love gin. Ha!

I’ve come to appreciate the complexities and varieties of gin as well as quickly developing an understanding that quality tonic makes quite a difference. Although - as with most cocktails , quality alcohol, in this case, gin, also makes an enjoyable difference, too.

So, cheers TRF! - let’s hear what we all enjoy and/or share some cocktail recipes. Bonus points for G&T recipes ;)

Classics for me, Martini's & Manhattan's, the occasional Old Fashioned.

Ah, I would say that is probably my #2 - a quality, well made, Old Fashioned.

I have really enjoyed Roku lately.

Two lumps of ice....tonic optional.

McLovin · 7 November 2019, 12:07 PM

Screwdriver. It almost seems healthy

I don’t drink cocktails often, but when I do, I have a Mojito.

Scotch on the rocks. Blended, single malt, whatever.

SPMN · 7 November 2019, 12:48 PM

In the summer I’ll make Paloma’s, Martini’s and Gin and Tonics. Winter and fall are pretty much reserved for straight bourbon or red wine.

Pw92676 · 7 November 2019, 01:17 PM

My two favorites are an extra dirty vodka martini (preferably with blue cheese stuffed olives) and a spicy blood Mary.

I often order a Screwdriver with Bourbon instead of Vodka. I call it a Phillips Screwdriver.

pickettt · 7 November 2019, 01:39 PM

I don't drink.....does that make me a bad person?

kieselguhr · 7 November 2019, 01:53 PM

Not drinking tonight as I a drink socially when out with friends.

I prefer rye whiskey with equal parts water but that’s not a cocktail.

My go to cocktail is a Rob Roy. I have been told it’s a grandma’s drink

Not at all just someone we can't trust

Honestly preference is bourbon on ice (which makes me a bum but whatever) but if its a cocktail I like

2 parts bourbon of choice
1 part honey simple syrup
chopped strawberry
juice from half lemon

shaken over ice, strained over a large cube. Garnished with a lemon peel.

herts9 · 7 November 2019, 04:55 PM

Sapphire, tonic, 2 limes, over ice

bayerische · 7 November 2019, 05:26 PM

Wine, red & white. If I feel a bit eccentric I'll go with Rosé.

mjr24 · 7 November 2019, 06:32 PM

Beefeater or Hendricks with plain water or tonic....blue cheese olives!

Blansky · 8 November 2019, 01:19 AM

Molotov.

Dan Pierce · 8 November 2019, 01:34 AM

Four fingers of Kentucky's finest on the rocks and the occasional Old Fashion.

Not really a drinker, but every now and then at an occasion I will have a either a screw driver, Sprite with Vodka, or the old stand by Rum and Coke.

SydR · 8 November 2019, 03:54 AM

Can’t beat a Caipirinha on a nice sunny day.
