I'm gonna go Rat Pack and choose a Manhattan.
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Kay Howard drank sloe gin fizzes. So either they're a tough drink or nobody wanted her to take them outside, huh?
Single Malt Scotch. No mixing required, not even an ice cube. Preferably it should be at least 18 years old.
Speaking of which I got to have a wonderful 1971 Glenmorangie this week.
Hmm. I'm a vodka girl: either vodka cran, vodka tonic or gimlet. Anyway it goes, it all comes with extra lime for me.
I would have made an excellent sailor! Except for being seasick.

well, I favor a touch of water.
However, drinks made with egg whites are cool.
There's a place in Boston that does full raw egg "flips" which are pretty badass. [link]
I still stand by my Sazerac cocktail recommendation. Classy, classic, simple, badass, mysterious.
I like a touch of water too, it really opens up the flavor for me. But never an ice cube. You can't control the amount of water and it makes it too cold to really appreciate all the nuances. Bad, bad, bad.
I think I posted a link to Natter a while ago on how to make a vodka/Skittle infusion. The same blog had a post on making glasses out of gumi bears to drink your skittle vodka from.

oh, absolutely. But, the likelihood of the bartender knowing how to make it, even if s/he has all of the ingredients? Slim to none. Gimlets you can be pretty sure of. As a woman, you run the risk of them adding too much Rose's (which is not as good as fresh lime and simple syrup, but more likely to be found), but that can be fixed.
Scotch is wasted on me. I've tried. I don't taste anything. I'm sure it's me, but it was so sad. Relatives with 12-year-old Whatthefuck they poured just for me, and I'm like"Yeah, that was cold and wet, okay." Like explaining making out to Rain Man.
