To paraphrase one of my favorite Mad Men quotes — cocktails have three ingredients; Malibu and Mr. Pibb is an emergency.

this is really the best for me: no sugar, light, easy: Gin (bombay sapphire), Lemon Seltzer (aldi), lemon wedge, rocks.
also, Whistle Pig Rye, 2 ice cubes.
sometimes, Jameson, Gingerale, Lime.

I've been working the perfect Margarita every Friday and Saturday.  At this point it's:

Fresh squeezed organic limes
Hornitos Black tequila (but I'm almost out, taking suggestions)
Triple Sec
Death Star ice cube
Salty rim
Top it off with a splash of Grand Marnier
27>34

For margaritas, which I worship . . . I like, Casa Noble Crystal

I have maybe two margaritas a year but every time I do, I insist on Grand Marnier in it and it makes all the difference in the world. Not Cointreau -- Grand Marnier always.

When I'm not crushing cheap beer or haze bois, I'm probably drinking a Paloma (Squirt and Don Julio Blanco) or a simple whiskey and ginger.

I admittedly am not a whiskey offciando, but if mixing with ginger, I typically pour 4:1 with bulleit.

sounds perfect.  i challenge you and the missus to a margarita-off: you both make your best recipe, and i'll judge.  and judge.  and judge.  then pass out.  the end.

This is a good thread. We have Cocktail Friday every week. I need to figure out what we’re having tomorrow.

Couple of weeks ago we had this:

Basic ingredients and was very good.
