Plus, i usually have mine with onions instead of olives, which i hate. :P

I had my first gin martini a few months ago. It was quite potent.

Olives are so good.

i'm careful not to drink shooters anymore. One of the drinks that is suprisingly good, but suprisingly bad for you is called a... well, i can't use that name on the board. Let's just say that it tastes good and it's designed to get women drunk. but guys like it too.

2oz Bombay Sapphire gin
2oz Tequila
2oz Kahlua
2oz Rum

Mix over ice in a shaker for a minute (until cold) and then pour into a lowball, and shoot it. Tastes suprisingly good, and mercy, but you've just had 5 1/2 shots. Not recommended.

That's part of why i'm more careful these days.

Here's one for you guys to try, not terribly potent, and tastes very good.

1-2 shots of southern comfort, 1-2 shots of grenadine (cherry syrup-- to taste basically) and fill the rest with sprite over ice. It's called a "southern hurricane" and it's quite good.

Bailey & kahlua milkshakes are good as well.

(i haven't had anything but beer in such a long time. haha)

I just bought a book on cocktails, hehe. I can't wait to mix some of this stuff.

i love amaretto sours however also on my list of likes would be screwdrivers, strawberry daquiris, and bahama mama's (only if it's light on the malibu rum, I don't like coconut).

That is so disturbing considering your avatar.

Bourbon and Coke. Either Maker's Mark, Fighting Cock or Knob Creek are the way to go.

Margaritas... Pour Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville tequila and mix into a blender, add ice and blend.

Long Island Iced Tea

There are others, but those are three I consistently enjoy.

My friend and I made some White Russians last night, but we didn't have much money so we got a flask-sized bottle of crappy vodka (Dimitri) and a tiny bottle of Kahlua. They were pretty good, but I think I'll save up a bit and get some Stoli and Kahlua Especial (darker flavor, plus 30% less sugar which is good cause I thought they were too sweet).

mmm mudslide...jack and coke...chocolate milk...
