Let's see, the best drink is the Gladiator (SoCo, Amaretto, OJ, 7-up).

But if I'm feeling the need to get blitzed and not remember anything, then I'll go with some Caribou Lou (151, Malibu, Pineapple Juice).

I'm a fan of the ol' Jack and Coke. Although Jim and Coke is great as well, and a little cheaper than Jack.

I do know that on my girl's birthday a couple years ago, I tried some of her Grateful Dead, and that was freakin delicious for all of the various liquors in it.

2/3 Cranberry Sierra Mist
1/3 cheap vodka

And for an actual classy drink:

1 shot of Parrot Bay Pineapple
2 shots of Skyy
Fill the rest with 1/2 pineapple juice and 1/2 orange juice

I'm pretty simple when it comes to mixed drinks, all time favourite would have to be the classic Gin & Tonic with a lime, perfect summer drink. Other favs would be Amaretto and Whiskey Sours. I tend to stay away from anything rum, bad times haha.

I am like that with tequila. I will drink it in margaritas but as far as tequila shots......ohhhhh hell no. To many nights puking my guts up.

My fave is a Cap'n and Coke. Two shots of Cap'n, fill the cup with Coke, drop in three ice cubes. Love it.

How many ounces are in a shot?

Honestly there is no true way to measure this. Depends on the shot glass, who is pouring, and what part of the world u in.

A STANDARD U.S. shot is 1oz to 1.5oz But like I said couple different factors.

Re: Mixed Drinks Recipes Thread

Typically at a bar it will be 1.25 ounces. But that's only when it's for a drink. A shot(like a kamikaze for example) will be 2.5 to 3 ounces total.


But shot glasses vary in size. When considering a shot glass, expect it to be anywhere from 1-2 ounces.

So what is something simple that is good for grey gooose? I like vodka + redbull, but I don't need my heart racing the entire night.

By simple I mean grey gooose + 1 ingredient. Maybe 2. And easy to mix in a red cup

Re: Mixed Drinks Recipes Thread

The only mixed drink I can do at the beginning of the night without thinking "ugh, this tastes awful" is a Screwdriver (OJ and vodka). It is surprisingly good, and I really don't care for Orange Juice... it's not exactly my breakfasttime choice.

The bad part is that it's so insanely acidic. If I do Screwdrivers all night I end up with a terrible stomach ache.

^^This is where I fall in line, though I enjoyed reading the various recipes and choices. If I'm feeling expensive (LOL), I'll step up to Crown & Coke.
