I have to have a "taste" for a particular liquor to drink it. Sometimes I want bourbon, sometimes I want whiskey, sometimes vodka.... y'all get my drift.
Anyway, these are what I choose when I'm ordering....
I drink Jack Daniels Single Barrel, on the rocks, or regular black Jack with a spash of 7.
Stoli vodka martinis.
Black Russians with either regular or Vanilla Stoli.
Tuaca on the rocks or with a splash of ginger ale.
The only mass distributed domestic beer I drink is Shiner Bock. I love Guinness, and any stout or dark ales. I do sometimes drink microbrews, but I'm kind of picky about the beer I drink.
I love wine... mostly Zinfandels, Ravenswood Lodi Zin or Seven Deadly Zins are my favorites.
As for shots, my hubby runs a bar, so we get to try lots and lots of great shots. My personal favorites are:
Oatmeal cookies: Equal parts Hot Damn, Bailey's and Buttershots. Mix and chill... These taste JUST like those old-fashioned cheap oatmeal cookies that you buy by the big bag.
Red Snappers are very popular at the bar, (equal parts Crown Royal, Amaretto and cranberry juice) but I dislike Crown, so the bartenders make it for me with Stoli, Amaretto and cranberry juice.
My hubby makes Hawaiian Punch shots: 1/2 oz Stoli, 1/2 oz Southern Comfort, 1/4 oz Amaretto, splash each of orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine and 7up. They are soooooooooo good, and sneak up on you really quickly.
And one of our bartenders makes a shot that he calls a Chilly Willy. It's a flaming dunk-and-gulp shot, but its so good.... Fill a tall glass half full of one of the clear malt beverages (Bacardi Silver, Bacardi Black, Zima, etc) and 1/2 oz Blue Curacao. Fill a shot glass with schnapps.... I like Apple Pucker, but any Pucker you like will work. Top the schnapps with 190 and light it. Drop the shot glass into the tall glass and slam it back. They will fuck you up... But funny how much fun those flaming shooters are. *grins*
We often play a Russian Roulette with the shot book.... poor, battered, beat up shot book... We ruffle the pages, and then someone sticks a finger in the pages, and whatever we land on we try. We've spent some wonderful nights getting seriously inebriated on some fucked up shots. *grins*
