Go-to Cocktail

[Ron Dan]

Typically an old fashioned or a Negroni, but a new one I was turned on to is a boulevardier; basically a Negroni with the gin replaced by boirbon

A great option. Lots of guys like replacing the gin with Mezcal too.

Jeppson’s malort or a sazerac

 

[YETI]

Fucking Long Island Iced Tea...I nearly killed myself with Long Islands at SHOT a few years back...bloody things sneak up on a guy... lol

When I was youngster, I would get fucked up on Liquid Cocaines. You want to talk about a sneaky drink..

I can dig a perfect Manhattan. 2 measures of bourbon, 1 measure each of sweet & dry Vermouth, orange rind, a couple of Luxardo cherries. Preferred over a large block of ice. Good bourbon or Scotch on the rock(s) will also work very well.

One more item, don't forget a couple or so dashes of Angostura bitters . . .

Sounds like I'll have to try it. I just picked up two more bottles of Horse Soldier Cask Strength so I won't be hitting the liquor store for a while.

Took a flyer on Edinburgh Gin. Solid and cheap.

 

[Ryan Horst]

Old Fashioned. So help them if they put soda water in it.

High quality tonic!

Not a big vodka fan but this huckleberry vodka with club soda is pretty good.

Business time: Vodka Martini, dirty, real dirty, shaken, jalapeño olives - that’s a go to.

Brown moment: Whiskey, rocks.

Flip flops and sand: Blanco tequila, soda, solid splash of fresh grapefruit juice - or a solid margarita

I like how you broke this down per the occasion

I’m not perfectly formulaic @bpaich1225 but these are good rules of thumb.

Truth is, I can go all over the board. If @Jason Vincent shows up and says let’s go and find a way to delete the next twelve hours, I’m sure this list gets a front run of cheap beer, mimosas, all this AND absinth and jager get pulled in and who knows what happens. Thank goodness that’s not most days.

That gave me a hangover just reading that!

Absinthe and hard drinking mixed with Shifty's blood creates a potentially dangerous weapon, with the ballistic inconsistencies of a SCUD missile... The last time that combo was mixed was on Liberty in Okinawa... Per my peers, I ate the banana at a show live and on stage before several hundred other people in the audience. Then to add to my embarrassment I asked the woman who deposited the banana piece by piece in my mouth with the measured expertise of a true professional, if she would dance with me on the stage.. Apparently she accepted and we danced. I remember large hanging silver balls that reflected the lights around the stage and some Jarhead tried to cut in... I promptly hit him on the chin, but apparently it was my own reflection in one of the mirrors on stage.
After destroying the mirror with my SCUD like death punch I apparently started trying to grab the floating bouquets of flowers that were floating around too present to queen of the banana show since she was the new love of my life... When my teammates realized that I was hallucinating and grabbing at the colored light reflections that the hanging balls were reflecting around the stage they quickly got me out of there (as if getting on stage and punching a mirror wasn't enough to begin with!)
They took me back to base and hid me in a room that was unlocked. Then when I passed out they left me and promptly forgot about me as good friends are wont to do in such situations...
Turns out it was the office of a CWO-4 and when he came in early in the morning and found that I had cleared everything off his desk onto the floor and made a bed out of it, he got agitated for some reason.. there's way more to the story but it's not for everyone to know... I will say this though... What sound does shit make when it hits the fan?

@Al "Shifty" Schultz - this is precisely why my prodigious heavy drinking of hard alcohol is rather limited these days. I’m going to call that “impressive” - we’ve all had those moments, maybe not as spectacular, but the feeling bi-product for sure.

 

[Al "Shifty" Schultz]

So true, I myself do not like to get "intoxicated" at all anymore.. I like a good glow let's say, but black out drunk is a hard no... Except I did eventually pass out at my retirement party but in my defense a 100+ people were buying me doubles!

Not much of a drinker normally, but when in Lanai I’m good for a baker’s dozen poolside Mai Tai’s

And one of those radioactive cherries
