Proper Drinking

Well I typed this out so it was fucking huge once, then Firefox shit itself, so let's try again shall we?
I want to talk about proper pouring, mixing, balancing and serving of liquor.
Good recipes, tips and tricks for the home bartender, and favorite bottles.
Everyone knows the Martini, but have you had one dirty? Have you replaced the olive brine in a dirty martini with tequila? It's better than you think. Just a dash, though.
I love experimenting with the Gimlet. 1.5 oz of Bombay Sapphire Gin, half ounce of Rose's Lime Cordial shaken short but sharp and served in a rocks glass with ice. You have to find that perfect balance, but you are rewarded if you take the time.
Or the Manhattan. God damn I love a good Perfect Manhattan. 1.5 oz Rye, or Knob's Creek Bourbon if you're up to it, with half an ounce of sweet vermouth and half an ounce of dry vermouth and a dash of Angostura's Bitters. I like them in a rocks glass over ice with an orange zest for garnish. If I make it for friends I take a bit of the white part of the peel with the zest, give it a little squeeze and light the motherfucker on fire. Always a pleaser.
Ever made your own mojitos? 3 mint leaves in a tall thin glass, muddle it with a fork or a muddler stick, a couple teaspoons of simple syrup or fine sugar, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, stir with ice while adding an ounce and a half of white rum, top with club soda or seltzer, garnish with a lime wedge and a mint stick, or another leaf if you don't want to spring for sticks. Great for hot days.
I have a great recipe for Scotch drinks too.
So faggots, what's your best Shirley Temple?

One time, they drank snake penis liquor!
Wierd, since I am actually female. But tampons...nonono...the only thing that enters there would be a penis.
Everclear?
That's the classy stuff. I get my hooch from a tub.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
Well, my original statement was assuming you were a male.
Sorry... :\
Women get drunk quicker because we have less water in our bodies than men.
Your choice of drinks are still a disappointment. I demand that you, Satanic Jesus, fight babyeatingjesus to make amends.
I was more commenting on people suggesting Jager-shots while out at a bar. This is a 19 year old girl's drink of choice when she gets her fake ID.

Whoever wins etc etc etc.

Ah. Ok in that case we agree.
I was a little taken aback when it was suggested that my Gimlets and Manhattans were for young girls.
I thought maybe you should introduce me to the girls you hang around with.
Theres a gigantic bottle of cuban rum in my room that has been waiting there for the past few months and I still didnt try it
Also, I need to buy all the ingredients for a long island iced tea, I like them, but so far have only bought them in restaurants.

Hey Geek let's go get hammered wooooo
I can't drink milk, but I do love the taste of the White Russian. Just another thing on the list of awesome stuff lactose intolerance cuts you off from.
I wonder how it would taste with almond milk...
Long Island Iced Tea
1.0 Rum
1.0 Sweet and Sour mix
1.0 Tequila
1.0 SHOT Triple sec
1.0 Vodka
Directions: In a tall pub glass fill with ice. Add one shot of each alcohol. Fill almost all the way up with the sweet and sour mix and top of with a little cola to give a little dark color.

I don't care how many people question my manhood for it, I fucking love me a good Tokyo Tea.
(I notice you call it an iced tea but whatever!)
It's expensive, but very tasty.
1 part blue coraco, 1 part melon liquere, 1 part vodka (or orange vodka, that works really well)
Shake with ice and serve...girls love it. No alcohol taste whatsoever.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
Bloody Mary with a dry rub beef rib in it. That is also tasty.

It is so much easier to measure 22 ml than 3/4 oz.
I want to Barbecque with you. Meat and drinks all day...together!
Besides that I like a good bear. I've been drinking this Pete's Wicked Wanderlust Cream Ale lately. Good stuff. I also keep some Yuengling Lager in the house because it's so cheap in my area, and some makings for a Black and Tan.
I don't get the "unmanly" stigma it has. it strikes me as a pretty manly drink, just less in a "hit a bear with a tree" kinda way and more in the "winston smith revolution through classy" kinda way.
Then I realize that I can't afford that, and I back to Rum+Coke or Rum+Iced Tea.

Churchill drank it.
Also Hunter you and I could get along.
Oh man... a grilling thread. This needs to be.

Gin is the ultimate in manly drinks. It's basically the only thing I drink anymore besides beer. I need to explore gin drinks outside G&T and Martinis though.
I have keep a giant bottle of Beefeater's in my house. No one else will drink it which is a good thing, but it's a bad thing when I want to have a drink with someone.
Try the Gimlet. Any food store should have a bottle of Rose for $5. Play with the levels a bit. So goddamn good.
also when it comes to beer I will drink a lot but seem to have a taste for good Belgian wheats
