DH and I usually stick to mojitos but I fancy something new. What's your favourite cocktail?

A Saint 75, but made with vodka, not gin.

A french 75! My absolute fav

Summer time, it’s Long Island iced tea.
winter, baileys martini which is vanilla vodka, baileys and coffee ice cubes 😋

My favourite is a Pisco Sour. Delicious, and not too sweet.
I also like a White Russian (or a Black Russian).

Delatron · 02/06/2022 17:15

Love a French Martini or a Margarita.

I discovered a Gimlet recently which
is a new favourite. Basically gin and lime
juice. I don’t like long, sweet cocktails.

sproutsandparsnips · 02/06/2022 17:17

Bramble or caipirinha

ThereWillBeSnacks · 02/06/2022 17:24

A very dry, dirty vodka martini. Three olives, please.

Cannot stand sweet alcoholic drinks or cocktails with stupid 'cheeky' names.

ApolloandDaphne · 02/06/2022 17:30

If I am sitting out in the summer then an Aperol Spritz is my favourite. Not sure it is a cocktail though!

ImplementingTheDennisSystem · 02/06/2022 17:48

Either a Bramble (gin) or a Lemon Drop (vodka). Both short and acidic and very adult tasting.

Egghead68 · 02/06/2022 17:49

Pina colada or negroni

Blueberrycreampie · 02/06/2022 17:50

Had a Tequila Sunrise in Greece last week- not had one for many years but it was lovely! Fruity and refreshing👍

Blueberrycreampie · 02/06/2022 17:52

Last time I went abroad ie 3 years ago I-had a couple of Margaritas which I suppose are my favourite.

Snorklette · 02/06/2022 17:55

I can’t remember the name off-hand, but it’s raspberry gin, pineapple juice and Chambord. Totally delicious. Love lovely Chambord! <nips off to kitchen to make said cocktail…>

BordoisAgain · 02/06/2022 18:00

Rum fizzler or rasperry gin fizz and pina colada if its made so its properly creamy

Livpool · 02/06/2022 18:02

Kir Royale
Cosmopolitan

Old Fashioned. Use the best bourbon you can get though, it doesn't work with Jack Daniels. Has to be Makers Mark or Woodford Reserve for me. And singe the orange peel, twist it and wipe the rim of the glass. Perfection.

MojoJojo71 · 02/06/2022 18:04

If I can’t say mojito then it’ll have to be either Long Island iced tea or an Amaretto sour

milawops · 02/06/2022 18:11

Dead red zombie from the alchemist

romanticnight · 02/06/2022 18:13

Aperol Spritz!

Quite partial to a caipirinha or Cham 69 too.

I love cocktails.

thefirstmrsrochester · 02/06/2022 18:16

Love a pisco sour or a caipirinha.
