I have never tried any mixed drinks before and I would like to start. I have been trying a lot of the different microbrews and I have found that beer is not really what I want to drink anymore. Maybe getting older has made me a bit more sophisticated in what I want to drink. So I would like everyone to tell me what their favorite mixed drink is and what is in it. And if at all possible try to give a brief description of what it tastes like. This way it may cut down on the amount of alcohol I would have to buy to try a few mixed drinks. Thanks for the help.

Favorite Mixed Drink: Jack Daniels on the rocks
Recipe: place ice in glass, fill with Jack Daniels
Taste: good

Ask for a Colorado Bulldog. It's like 90 proof chocolate milk.
Or if sweet is not your thing, try a gin and tonic. They are refreshing in the summer heat. Also Margaritas are good.

There are a lot of good mixed drinks out there, I prefer beer, but here are a couple of my favorites:

Captain & Coke
Seagrams 7 Whiskey & 7UP
Strawberry Daquiris
Long Island Ice Tea (prepare to get real drunk though!)

Margaritas are awesome. I also love Rum and Coke. If your tastes are more sophisticated, you should try Guinness.

Thanks for all of the great replies.
I think I am going to stop by the liquor store on the way home tonight.

How did you get to 38 without trying a cocktail?
If mixed drinks don't do you right, try really good liquor straight or on the rocks. Scotch is good.

I'm a bartender here in Vegas (not for one of the fancy places or anthying), and i know what I like. For cocktails, a really good one that is catching on is called the Washington Apple: Crown royal, Apple Pucker, and cranberry juice.

I tell you what, a really NICE cocktail is a raspberry martini: Tell your bartender to use a shot of Absolut Citron vodka, Chambord, and a splash of pineapple juice. shaken and strained...it's amazing. a bit girly, but you know what...who cares.

sweet!

Jtwampler i ask myself the same thing almost everyday
To be honost I am a creature of habit. I have been drinking MGD since I was in the Army. Now I have been wanting to try different things and I think it is crazy to pay 6.50 and up to try a mixed drink I may or may not like. so I thought I would ask the very knowledable people on this forum.

Dry Gin Martini stirred not shaken absolutely no garnish.

Jack on the rocks or margarita on the rocks. Most people screw up the 'ritas though. It should be 2 oz. of your favorite tequila, 1 oz. of Grand Marnier and the juice of 1 lime.
