I have a lot of favourites.

In my teens I used to love Smirnoff Mule - then they stopped selling it here in most places. But I order a vodka and ginger ale with a slice of lime and it tastes pretty similar!



I like how it's mild and I love that it comes in a bottle you can carry with you on the dance floor, as opposed to a full tall glass that spills everywhere if you do that.

These days I often order a strawberry margarita, since I got braces, no fizzy drinks are advised! These are very more-ish.



I also love the staple drink for summer, at least out here - Caipirinha!



I also love straight whisky, any one of these is heaven. Straight up, no ice. I also approve of Balvenie Single Malt, that I've seen in this thread already. That is lovely.





Some good port is also a favoured drink for me.

Finally, for shots, I like something a bartender once made me and which I always order now. It's a great shot because it's mildly sweet, spiced, and goes down smoothly. It's a mix of triple sec, cinnamon, and a little lime juice. Heaven!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
