[ruggedscotty]

yup we have those beardy real ale types...... but what about cocktails - i took a fancy to a Mojito trouble getting the mint leaves but it was worth it... what is everyone elses go to ?

[Magooagain]

Pineau Mojito is rather nice. No trouble with mint leaves though,as they are growing in my garden.

Espresso Martini, Moscow Mule, Aviation and Electric Lemonade at the moment but I can make a lot more.

[thebraketester]

Caipirinha is a good one that I have recently started making.

[Terminator X]

Negroni. I can drink it all night, well until I fall over that is!

Used to love a cocktail. I was a bourbon drinker so my go to ones were an Old Fashioned or a Mint Julep. Liked a margarita as well, even the slushy ones you make in a blender

[Scabutz]

I like a classic Martini every now and then. Tanquery 10 gin for that. Also love French 75s. Gin, Lemon juice and Champagne

[easytiger123]

Many of the above mentioned, but I also enjoy the occasional and vastly underrated Dark and Stormy.

I don't drink that much, never mind cocktails, but I do like I decent margaritas, however quality tequila and triple sec do make a big difference, which can make them expensive if you're exponentiating and do not have one or other in (a decent reposada or anejos and cointreau for me)

Oh yeah, a dark & stormy with overproof rum and ginger beer with a decent kick is a treat.

[pokethepope]

Pisco Sour for me. If it's hot, then frozen Margerita

Like that, a lot. Very nice

Cucumber martinis are a guilty pleasure on a warm day. Easy to make, tasty and quite potent.
