    Cool Your drink of choice?

    I'm an anthropologist doing a study on the history and consumption of alcohol and it has me thinking about cocktails!

    So, I have to ask. What is your drink of choice? What's your go to and why?

    I might have some fun facts and tidbits to share but really I just want to have a chat about what wets your whistle!

    I'm going for the Southside this week, a gin cocktail with prohibition ties and a recipe dating back to 1917!

    Disclaimer: None of this information will be used on an academic basis, this is not me doing research, just wanting the talk about what's on my brain lately with the coolest cats I know.

    I don't drink very often but my preference depends on my mood/the mood.

    In my books, you can't go wrong with a good gin & tonic.
    I recently had a blackcurrant gin cocktail with pomegranate sparking wine and some other stuff (would have to look up the recipe) and it was dangerously delicious, even as someone who doesn't prefer overly sweet things.

    My goto drink is a gin & tonic (or if feeling spicy a redbull vodka)
    if I'm really wanting a stiffer drink I'll probably go with a martini with lots and lots of olives
    Gin is my favorite for mixed drinks, esp if paired with citrus or anything botanical like elderflower!

    If I'm drinking beer it's sours, brown ales, and stouts for me (especially if they are super rich haha)
    If I'm going hard it's tequila and fireball!

    I have a bunch of different go-tos for different circumstances! What I mainly buy to drink at home/with friends is seasonal more than anything,
    - winter is red wine (usually like a shiraz? but I like trying different ones)
    - summer is beer/cider. I say both bc I'll pick up one each of whatever cans jump out at me haha. Overall my main beer is any kind of stout, but I like mixing it up a lot and other faves are sours/goses, ambers, IPAs, wheats..
    - if I'm at a bar I'll usually get rye & gingers (or beer again, depending on the mood)
    - when I was at a job with free access to a full bar my "house drink" was 2 amaretto 2 sour, which is 2 amaretto sours in a tall glass lmao

    thank you for the gay rights peo ♥ @honeycomb ♥

    If I want something light I usually go for a gin and tonic, otherwise I like a good manhattan or old fashioned.

    If I'm out some place that has a specialty menu, I usually like to try something new and interesting.

    My favourite is prosecco with pomegranate juice/seeds! It's sweet and bubbly and fruity and it feels celebratory - I don't drink too often so it always feels like an indulgence.

    I also love bourbon, and if I'm at a cool bar or restaurant with specialty cocktails, I'll usually choose one of the bourbon drinks. I especially love it when they mix fresh herbs, florals, or interesting fruit juices/garnishes into a bourbon drink. Again, it feels fancy and special.

    I like sweety and frutal beverages. I love Daiquiris specially the strawberry flavor. Besides that I'm most into vodka or whisky with no particular recipe in mind.

    Always down for an interesting vibrant new color drinking tho

    All you gin folks, you're my people!! I can't ever refuse a good gin, one of the places local to me serves a Gin cocktail with smoked lavender foam and it's honestly to die for. Gin neat with blackberry syrup is incredible too while I'm thinking about it.

    Did you know that Gin originally was celebrated for it's medicinal properties, it's been claimed to cover so many things it's very nearly under the cure-all category. Pliny the Elder (our boy, to the Sawbones fans) claimed it was perfect for ails of the womb? Who knows what he's on about. I'm not certain about Gin as a medicine, but the juniper that it's based on does seem to have some curative properties so maybe there's something to it. It's also experienced a recent renaissance after losing popularity with the younger public in the 1900s since it was seen as a drink of "the Establishment", can't blame them, I'm always ready to fight the man.

    To others;
    A rye ginger sounds delicious and I think I'm going to have to have one.

    Also, Prosecco has such strong summer vibes to me that the pomegranate really lend to, I bet it's delicious!

    Nice, I love Anthropology Really wish I would've made that my second major at university.

    I like straight vodka with flavored carbonated water afterward. If I want to stay awake I mix vodka with the flavored water and put some Mio or Gfuel in there for a caffeine boost.
    Sometimes when I'm out I'll order a whiskey sour. Those things are delicious.

    I actually hate gin. Reminds me too much of pine needles, and if I wanted to drink a pine tree, I'd date a lumberjack.

    I'm a whiskey neat, three fingers kinda guy.
    If it's not that, I want a sour beer. But that's a very rare occasion for me haha.



    Thank you Hellraid <3
