The perfect Manhattan is actually a Perfect Manhattan. Equal parts sweet and dry. Even better if you manage to tilt it juuuust on the side of sweet and happen to make your own cherries to add to it.
E: Which I do.
Lighting the orange on fire is also cool.
I still prefer the sweet ones, mind you. Save the dry vermouth for the vodka and/or gin martinis.

Oooh, I've never had an orange-on-fire drink. But no vodka martinis allowed!
I am a cocktail tyrant.
Anti and I were talking about mint syrup and now I'm thinking I'll make my own mint syrup again this year for mojitos, once the weather warms up.

Vodka martinis are how I get away with drinking vodka neats. They get the tiniest dab of vermouth when I make them, and then three bigass olives that, when I'm done drinking the coldest vodka I can stand, taste better than heaven.
also garlic clove stuffed olives are way way better than pimento
Oh god garlic clove olives.
Weaver it is too late to start mixing martinis alone in the basement, please don't do this to me.
Also I went to a bar once that assumed that every martini the table ordered should be dirty. Dirty martinis are not the default, I don't care what anyone says.
Also I had one "smoky" last summer. I won't be having another one like that.

Yes, the James Bond martini, because I thought it would be cool
It was not
oh man you can light your fucking breath on fire after one of those. I felt like Jackie Chan at the end of Drunken Master when he drinks the thing of oil. Only without any of the ass kicking.

There was this cocktail one of my favourite restaurants in Chicago used to make, called a Tom Waits for No Man, which was their own bourbon and Tupelo honey and some other stuff. It was absolutely amazing.
I miss real cocktails that aren't a million dollars.

The name alone makes it my favourite cocktail as of right now.

went to teatro zinzani once, the martini was basically five or six measures of gin shaken over ice and poured in a glass, no vermouth
I was so pissed
and then when I finished it I was a different kind of pissed

I see that a lot. Bartenders that assume martinis were invented by Churchill and should be gin with the vermouth bottle passed over the glass to allow some vermouth-flavoured light to shine on it and that's all. Dude, I don't have a drinking problem, I actually want a martini. Look it up.
I follow the ol' two parts gin one part vermouth mix
I usually cut the vermouth in half if I make it myself, but I'm not picky. As long as they don't make it dirty. I saw a bartender making one and was just putting brine in the drink and stirring instead of rinsing the glass with it to make it dirty. Why anyone would want salt water in their martini is still beyond me.
My mum bought some fuckin magnificent Haitian rum when she was there. A good rum is also the shiiiit. Cognac is the best sipping drink but we all know good rum is up there.

the other one kind of drags on but I do bust a move in that one also

how do I play this game
shoot mans?
let's play this tomorrow, people
As a tyrant I assume you mean gin martinis are okay?
Because they are delicious.
I didn't order a glass of gin!
These dudes know whats up.
Yes, the James Bond martini, because I thought it would be cool
It was not

Yeah I actually like mine a little on the wet side. I'm definitely not a "shake glass in general direction of France" kind of guy.
This admittedly might just be because I can't stand vodka. I can dig where you're going with that plan, though, babyeatingjesus.

i like drinking a lot

My most consistent drink jumps between a Long Island Ice Tea or a Whiskey Coke.
The place is Uncommon Ground, if you're ever around Chicago and looking for a fun (if pricier) place to be.
Looks like right now they have a drink called a Clove Old-Fashioned:

stupid
stupid laws
When I want a simple drink it's been gin a lot lately. With tonic, 7-Up, orange juice, whatever.
...I guess what I mean is, I like gin.

I'm a fan of gin except the last time I had one the bartender made it really bad.
