- Absolut straight is my default. It's simple, common, and I like it well enough. It's not a coktail, really, but shoot.
- Bacardi mojitos are refreshing, especially in warmer, humid climates.
- Disaronno and diet coke is okay (VERY sweet), but I try to avoid aspartame. I've been told this is a 'woman's' drink, but that sorta sounds like chauvinist bullshit.
- I've tried a Vesper, and they're pretty damn good.
- Bloody Mary's are great if I can make them myself. No carrots, plenty of fresh ground pepper, fresh lemon juice, and a decent tomato juice. V8 is okay, but for my money making tomato juice from scratch is way better. Kosher celery salt is better, too. I like Armadale more than a Goose or Absolut for a Mary.
