at Hell's Kitchen. Orange-infused Jameson, Cointreau and homemade lemonade...Strong and delicious! Yum! :9:thumbsup:

[Duer 157099]

24. Wait, back up

Hell's Kitchen? You mean that's a regular restaurant? Or was it during a filming session?

[Eyerish]

29. Oh i forgot about the TV show...

There's a restaurant in downtown Minneapolis named Hell's Kitchen. Some of the best food I've had in the Twin Cities.

[kimi]

33. I wondered about that

I was in Minneapolis for the Basilica Block Party last weekend and saw it, and wondered. Good to know when I go back!

[hifiguy]

51. LOL! Hells Kitchen is kitty-corner

across the intersection from the building I work in!

[S_E_Fudd]

10. Captain and Coke...

The best!

[bif]

13. Vodka & tonic. Or if I'm in a diet mode, Vodka & soda.

With a slice of lime. In the winter months it's strictly scotch on the rocks.

[kentauros]

14. We need to set up a bar here,

and start bringing back all the old drinks. Start here: http://javasbachelorpad.com/sippinsafari.html




So far, my favorite is the margarita, usually at a place here called "Pico's Mex-Mex" :D

[Xithras]

15. I have a mint patch in my garden just for Mojitos

By the way, while that drink in your photo is pretty typical of the Mojito-ish recipe used by most bars and restaraunts, where drink preparation is rushed and many bartenders are undertrained, that is NOT a proper Cuban Mojito.

THIS is a proper Cuban Mojito:


You'll note that there is a full lime and at least one complete sprig of mint in that glass, and not merely a little bit of juice, a couple of mint leaves, and a wedge to garnish the edge, like you'll find in most bars. This is the traditional way that Mojitos have been made since the 16th century. Squeeze an entire lime into a glass, toss in a couple sprigs of mint, mix in some sugarwater spirited out of the sugarcane factory, a couple glugs of rum, and add water as needed to mellow it. Nowadays we use club soda, and it's better that way, but traditional Mojitos used plain water. I made one that way once, just to try it. It wasn't bad, but I prefer the soda-water method.

[Kali]

37. I don't know - that OP pic looks to me like it is all in there

it has been muddled - which is good and proper, you want to smash the mint and lime peel a bit to get the good oils out

and I don't use syrup for mojitos, I use coarse sugar - it helps with the muddling - try it!

[HERVEPA]

16. Rum Swizzle (nt)

[LynneSin]

17. I like to mix Tequila with my hurling stomach juices

:D

[GoneOffShore]

18. So many drinks, so little time. Depends on the time of year.

Summer - A tomate - Ricard with cassis, ice and water.
Spring - Suze with orange juice and soda
Kir - Aligote with cassis.
Autumn - Gin and tonic.
Winter - Gin martini - Bluecoat gin and Dolin or Noilly Prat vermouth.

[ohiosmith]

19. Does a Hendricks martini count?

[geardaddy]

54. Yumm-EEEEE!

But I like it as a Gibson, with onions.

[Zorra]

21. Mojitos. But they have to be perfect, or close to it. nt

[MilesColtrane]

22. Haven't had a mixed drink in a long time.

Jack and coke used to be a staple.

I used to like Tanqueray and tonics during the Summer.

Occasionally a fresh, top shelf margarita on the rocks is good.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. tmi

[Raffi Ella]

25. Strawberry Daquiri's

and Margaritas. :9

[Broken_Hero]

26. I'm a simple man, Screwdrivers, nt

[Kali]

39. reminds me of something

to complicate a screwdriver but really kick it up a notch - add a shot of triple sec (or cointreau) and a good squeeze of lime juice - it will make your screwdriver taste like fresh orange juice :9

[applegrove]

27. I loved long island iced tea until the barmaid at the place where I worked

explained to me it was just coke, alcohol and lemonade. I thought it was real iced tea.

[Enrique]

28. the gimlet

:toast:

[elleng]

53. THANKS! VODKA GIMLET in Summer,

Black Russian in Winter!

[redwitch]

30. Prosecco, Aperol and grapefruit juice on the rocks.

Really delicious and really refreshing. Don't know if it has a name.

[Hotler]

31. Jack and coke with two Cherry's

[Xipe Totec]

32. Sangria

[kimi]

34. Peach daiquiri

Mmmm, something about peaches . . . :)

[kwassa]

35. 1) Classic martini 2) Classic gin and tonic

I am very old-school when it comes to mixed drinks.

These are both gin drinks, of course, and it can't be a martini without Martini and Rossi dry vermouth. With olives.

Gin and tonic is the most refreshing hot weather drink. With lime, of course.

[surrealAmerican]

36. Gin and tonic.

With a squeeze of lime, it's perfect. I agree.

[geardaddy]

55. Spot on!

For the martini, sometimes I like to switch it up and have a Gibson.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_(cocktail)

[Kali]

38. yes

a good mojito is up there, same with a good margarita, a real lime daiquiri, Gin and Tonic, whiskey sour, and yes I like a real pina colada sometimes

use to love rum, gin, or vodka Collins from the bowling alley back in the day - who orders collinses (plural?) any more?

vodka and cranberry is good, don't know if it has a name

[AtomicKitten]

40. This California girl hearts Margaritas.

[Chan790]

41. I love a good Arnold Palmer.

I'm a teetotaler. I don't consume alcohol.

[hobbit709]

42. In my drinking days

When it was cold: hot chocolate with Chambord and Kahlua
when it was hot, i.e. the other 11 months of the year then it was Stolichnaya straight out of the freezer.

[jmowreader]

44. One I invented...the GINger Ale

Highball glass, full of ice
One shot good-quality gin
Fill with ginger ale
Twist of lemon

There are about four things you can do with gin: you can make a Classic Martini, you can make an Improved Martini by leaving the fucking Vermouth at the store because it tastes like shit and just run straight gin through your martini shaker, you can mix it with tonic water, or you can make a GINger Ale.

[mcollins]

49. Beam and Coke

Gin and Tonic
Beer and cheesburgers

[tekisui]

50. Scotch on ice with a splash of water.

[cyberswede]

52. White Russian

I'm more of a beer drinker, but if I had to pick a mixed drink, that's what it would be. :)

[Lance_Boyle]

56. Beer with just a hint of saliva. n/t

[pitohui]

57. pomegranate martini

it's good for your heart, they say, it's certainly good for your taste buds, your liver...well...not so much!!!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

58. Hawaiian Punch and Orange Juice.

Looks like a Tequila Sunrise. I don't drink alcohol; I don't like it and it doesn't like me either.

:D

[TorchTheWitch]

59. fresh squeezed oj and a straw

I don't do alcohol.
