I had a blood-orange Margarita while on vacation in Tennessee in November. It was delicious!

That does look good.
I do like a margarita, on occasion. I like mine “on the rocks” in a plain old tumbler. My wife likes hers with Li Hing Mui powder on the rim (it’s a Hawaiian thing), but I prefer plain old salt, please. The perfect margarita is not too sweet and tastes like the ocean with a little lime squeezed in. Perfect after a day at the beach.

Place one lemon, one lime on the counter, next to a glass of orange juice and bottle of angusturo bitters. Pour 2 oz of JW Green label, add a sliver of ice and walk away leaving all the other crap on the counter top.

Yes, I saw one yesterday
I prefer it without a salt rim. I just add a pinch of salt into the shaker.
The margarita was followed by some tacos with red mole sauce.

A couple of years back, Long Island Tea came up on a crossword. I had never heard of Long Island Tea so I asked The Lounge, adding, "Where's the tea." I tell you, I learned more about prohibition and recent American history than I could have done by spending a week in a reference library. If I could remember the thread I would post a link to it. The Long Island Tea has addled my brain.

I went through a Long Island Ice Tea phase in the 80s. As a friend recently said about bacon: “That’s a young man’s game.” (I’m using that quote about a lot of things these days.).

I second that opinion. It's the only one I ever stock myself, using it mostly for summer Daiquiris.

I remember them as being a big '80s drinks too. I also remember many men and women being all but carried out of the bar after one too many as those things packed quite a punch. Women in particular seemed to like them, at least back then.

Would you mind sharing the recipe for your summer Daiquiri? I would like to try this!

Maybe some of you know the popular Berlin longdrink "Futschi" ("kaput"). Just Brandy and Coca Cola.
The mix is often mentioned with Brandy-Cola 8:2, which makes of course a lot of sense.
But I would vote for good old Gin Tonic.

In the winter months my usual before dinner drink is the martini. Gin, preferably something old school, juniper forward, pretty dry with a twist.
When it gets too hot for straight up boozy drinks, my go to drink would be either a ti punch or a daiquiri, a simple lime one or a pappa doble version.

I think, I found the perfect summer drink for me!
Pineapple juice + water 1:1
It's so refreshing.

Not my signature cocktail but I recently shared a shaker of Whisky Sours with a friend and they were really good. No egg white and with this classic drink I like the good old fashioned bright red maraschino cherries. Luxardo cherries are actually better--and I use them in Manhattans--but this old school drink calls for old school garnish. Bulleit rye, for what it is worth.

Martini. But even then the glass it comes in is a bit flouncy. But if i had to choose something it would be that. i like them, but stick it in a different glass

They were pretty popular when I was in college (during the eighties) because they were often part of some special like: purchase one Alabama Slammer and get one Long Island Ice Tea for free. I was not necessarily a big fan of then, but I did like the free thing.I went through a Long Island Ice Tea phase in the 80s.
