I need a new drink!

[Wally12]

Trying to find a go-to drink. Not much of a beer drinker, unless it has fresh lemon and lime juice and a bunch of beer salt in it. Always favored flavored vodka (raspberry) in college. I tend to go more for sour drinks than something sweet, although I do like butterscotch and Irish creme. After the anxiety of giving a maid of honor speech at my sister's wedding forced me into 7 shots of Jose, I'm pretty much out on tequila. The cherry limeade lunchbox at Edna's is a favorite.

What suggestions do you guys have for me?

Sounds like you're a classic "sour" girl.

Try a Whisky or Pisco Sour

Simple recipe:

1-1/2 oz Whiskey or Pisco (a brandy from Peru/Chile it is not aged and is virtually clear)
1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 to 1 oz simple syrup (combine an equal amount of water and sugar and boil it until it is 1/2 of its original volume, let cool)
1 egg white (optional) but adds some volume and texture to the drink.
Put all ingredients in cocktail shaker full of ice and really shake hard for 20-30 seconds, especially if you have added the egg white.

Either strain the mixture into a low ball (cocktail) glass or pour it with the ice into a high ball glass. Garnish with lime wedge and cherry. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by decreasing/increasing the amount of simple syrup.

Whiskey is what adults drink.

I am the only one of my group of friends who prefers liquor to beer. I tried some American Honey awhile back and thought it was horrible.

From what you have described some type of whiskey sour might be good but a few other ideas...

Sweet tea vodka and lemonade
Tom Collins or Vodka Collins
Moscow Mule
Old Fashioned

The original cocktail. Old Fashioned. I actually prefer to make mine with rye instead of bourbon.

 

[HighStickHarry]

Whiskey, splash of ameretto, water ice and two cherries on a little plastic sword

 

[EvilPOKES]

Gin and lemonade and freshly muddled mint. A great warm weather drink, but love it all the time.

Woodford reserve on the rocks. Let it melt just a little.

Ex gf wouldn't touch liquor let alone straight bourbon. Made her have two via wager and now it's all the crazy B drinks.

Taught her how to play poker, drink bourbon, got her eating her red meat to medium and right as I about had the perfect woman trained up some other ahole reaps the reward of my hard work.

That's some BS!

Old Cuban. A little high maintenance, but well worth.

I told you not to send her to the chiropractor!

Dirty martini. Absolute vodka, splash of extra dry vermouth, and Dirty Sue olive juice. Garnish with blue cheese stuffed olives.

 

[Deepfork]

My go to is Bourbon or Scotch (single malt Islay) and water. That being said, I love a Sazerac. Rye, absinthe, simple syrup, Peychaud bitters, angostura bitters, lemon twist. Heaven!

Try Deep Eddy's Lemon Vodka with Topo Chico mineral water. Mix about 50/50 over ice - easy to do and very tasteful...Deep Eddy's also has a red grapefruit that folks like, but I've always preferred the Lemon.
