I love to get corned on weekends, so I have sourced ingredients, tools
and know how to mix the following, so far. (I do have a shaker)
I don't include highballs here, because any retard can make a highball.

-martinis (both clean and dirty)
-margaritas
-bloody marys (made with VCool
-black Russians
-white Russians
-Tequila Sunrise (with Grenadine)
-Mojito (difficult to find fresh mint though, sometimes Itaewon)

Well, I guess that is about it, so far. I do have a bottle of Triple Sec
and Martini Rosso that I am not sure what to do with.

Actually, I lied in the first sentence here. I also like to get corned on
Wednesday nights to split up the monotony of the week.

Suggestions?

Manhattans for the vermouth

Triple sec can be used for a lot of non-traditional martinis and fruit drinks

I like to make Irish Coffee, although I don't have any Irish whiskey... but as long as I don't invite my Irish friends over nobody notices.

A drink which I dearly miss is pink gin. Anyone know where one might find bitters?

A V-12 surprise! I've just had V-12 vitamin crap with most of a 5th of vodlka. I don't know if there is a formal name for this concoction or not. But either way I am pretty wasted now and will not (hopefully) be hungover tomorrow bc/ all the vitamins in the V12.

Clockout, your a lightweight. A manhattan is:

�2 oz rye whiskey
�1/2 oz sweet vermouth
�2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
�maraschino cherry for garnish

NOT, Martini rosso.

However, any martini party will get people extremely corked in no time
flat!

Soju mixed with mango juice and some "cider" (7Up) really hits the spot on hot summer evenings.

Being the drunkard I am, I've managed a collection of over 30 liquors from Costco, foreign markets and airport duty-free shops, so its nearly an open bar.
