Cocktail drinkers...

[DitchPanda]

What are your favorites? I don't drink cocktails often...when I do its usually gin and tonic with lime or vodka (titos) and soda with lime or lemon. Beyond that my hard liquor consumption is almost always whiskey on the rocks. Maybe a stray shot or two when I'm being dumb.

Manhattan!

Add a splash of lime juice and it's a great sitting on the deck or sitting in the boat rigging rods drink. My homemade version of a local distilleries tropical Moscow Mule.

I like a good, tall Beefeater or Bombay Sapphire and tonic with a wedge of lime and three olives in summer. Very refreshing. I’ve also been drinking this jalapeño cocktail:

Sobieski Vodka, jalapeño, lemon juice, sugar (or simple syrup).

I'll add another that I tried a couple of years ago and really enjoyed...  a cucumber Bloody Mary.  Just a regular Bloody Mary but made with cucumber vodka and with a cucumber spear instead of a celery stick.

 

I tried one at an outdoor restaurant on a nice summer day and have mixed up a pitcher of them for several summer get-togethers since then.  It initially sounded strange to me but those flavors go together perfectly... like peanut butter and jelly.

 

But I still think a gin and tonic with lime is the best summer drink there is.

For whatever reason I don’t do liquor drinks. Probably for the best! Haha

I've been known to indulge in a Gin Rickey in the summer.

Bombay Original Gin - Soda - 1/2 Lime - Ice

I gave up alcohol many years ago after letting it run my life for too long.  Baccardi and Coke was my poison of choice.

[GTN-NY]

Coco Rum. With mixers or just on ice

[moguy1973]

I like a good Rum and Coke with a twist of lime.  Margaritas with Mexican food too.

 

Other than that, a good neat bourbon has been my go to.

[Black Hawk Basser]

Love me a good mojito.

[volzfan59]

I like a good bloody Mary occasionally. Other than that, I like scotch. The Macallan, straight or with one cube of ice. 

[hokiehunter373]

More often than not I'm going straight bourbon.  If I'm mixing it up it's likely one of the following in order:

 

Manhattan

Moscow mule

Dark N Stormy

Martini

Painkiller

Margarita

[scaleface]

If the furnace is on its whiskey and Coke . If the AC is on its margaritas .

[NHBull]

Bourbon usually  gets the call...

Love mojitos. Ever have a coconut milk mojito?

[DitchPanda]

I used to really enjoy a mule but  got kinda burned out on em. I do really like a white Russian or 3 in the winter but its way to heavy for a summer drink. We have a local bar that has super bloodys..but there again I got burned out on em.

I can’t even remember my last cocktail. Maybe a Moscow mule or something. Now a days, if I’m drinking a cocktail it’s vodka and water or scotch with ice. My days of drinking beer and cocktails are over. White claw. I’ll drink to that. But currently, I gave up drinking. Need to lose my last 10 Covid pounds.

[KYRANGERMAN]

Mainly bourbon with a large cube of ice.  However I do enjoy a well made Old Fashioned or a Manhattan.  Nothing like sitting on the deck while the wife enjoys a glass of wine and I'm sipping on something.

Nope, I have not heard of this.  Do you substitute the milk in place of the club soda?

I think the coconut milk is just a add on. I’ve never made them but when we go to Puerto Rico that’s pretty much all we drink 

[NYWayfarer]

Whiskey and Coke Zero or Vodka and Tonic are my go to cocktails.

[VolFan]

Bourbon, old fashioned, Kentucky mules - probably in that order. Although sometimes the mules were bred in Tennessee
