I know this is the beer thread and all...but I'm been kinda feeling the cocktail love past couple of days or so...

A chilled tequila margarita, cool gin mojito, a tall Long Island, offbeat Pisco sour. Oh, my!

Possibly since I stumbled on a fascinating documentary called "Hey Bartender". There's a not so bad full version in YouTube. If you have Netflix, think they have this too.

If you have some afternoon time to kill, this is definitely worth a watch!

I love Pisco sours. Really amazing drink.

Margarita, with half the rim of the glass salted. Perfect.

Quite interesting that an English gent would like Tequila. I don't touch the stuff.

On its own, its horrid.
But in cocktails, i like to actually taste alcohol, not for it to just taste like a fruit punch, and Margarita's hit the spot.

I usually go to proper pubs and not restaurants with a small bar to have a drink, but I realized a couple of weeks before that the Mexican place near my house makes some lovely margaritas. Thenceforth have been making a stop there and enjoying a margarita (or more) before making way to my usual pubs.

In my drinking history, if there was ever a drink I had countless shots of, it'd be tequila :roflmao:

Now I can't stand a shot. But in a margarita with salt, lime and triple sec...it's just heavenly!

Intrigued - what is a Pisco sour?

Pisco is a south American brandy. Sour is a cocktail made with it and lime, syrup, egg white and bitter. Brilliant!

Bridcarper · Jun 27, 2016

Sounds very, very nice indeed. Similar to the 'traditional' brandy sour. Love to have a couple of these on the balcony before going out when on holiday.

A sign that you are getting old; when you go to the bar with your wife for wings and order a glass of red wine (to help your belly) instead of beer or stronger spirits. :eek:

How'd I get to be such an old man so fast.....I'll blame it on my kids.

Bridcarper · Jun 27, 2016

Agree Croak. But hey, how many glasses of red did we miss out on when we were younger? A beautiful Rioja is indeed a true benefit of growing old.

I was certain you'd been sipping the sacramental wine for ages....

I'm not a fan of gin and tonics. Or gin and anything really.

Nice... but only 4.1%... will you be able to taste it??? :laugh:

Sky King · Jul 3, 2016

Just about any of these will do, although the Tito-rita is really tasty. The key is the vodka. I would never have believed that a vodka made in Texas could be so good. It most definitely is. Even on the rocks it's quite smooth.

Had Titos in Houston. Very impressive for something made in Texas.

True enough, but the bottle is cool.

Actually a damn good bottle. The glass he was drinking it from was equally as cool.

Hey! (You're right) We have my 3 year old grandson for a week while my daughter and her husband are in Tennessee for holiday. She called and asked what she could get for me in Gatlinburg. I told her Tennessee whiskey! Then she said; "How about moonshine?" She knows me so well!

Big fan here. In some drinks (read Martini/Mojito), I prefer it over Vodka as I consider it a more refined drink.

G&T is a fabulous drink, provided it's made proper. Gin, Tonic, Lime extract (or juice) and a wedge of lime as garnish...it's heavenly. I used to have a separate ice tray to make tonic ice cubes to avoid diluting the drink further. I prefer it over even beer, in early afternoon or after I've had a heavy meal.

I have never had a martini in my life. Believe it or not. But I would be willing to try one...or two...or three...

I never had one till a couple of years ago. One of the girls in my team ordered a lychee martini and had to leave before the drink arrived. I hate seeing alcohol go to waste, so offered to drink it up...and was pleasantly surprised. Tried a couple of different. The classic dry martini always rocks, but if you are in the mood, a lemon ginger one hits the spot!
