I really love grape nehis, but that's a name I *don't* like because it's too silly.

Martini says it all, a cocktail name so good, other cocktails try to appropriate it

But I do like the name Mojito (moreso since LoT went live ;) ) and the Scorpion, the latter most delightful when served for a group in a giant shell with equally lengthy straws.

Harvey Wallbanger

Mai Tai

Head Shock (which I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER drink again)

Sex on the beach,

Slo comfortable screw,

and a mai tai.

Cosmopolitan. I feel so Sex in the City when drinking one.

I'm with NA on the cocktail names. Although I am FAR from a prude as some of you know there's something about calling a drink a Blow Job or Slippery Nipple that somehow cheapens the mystique of enjoying a fabulous cocktail, ya know? Those names make them so "TGI Fridays" or "Red Robin" to me.

Gimme a martini, or a gimlet, or a vodka tonic any day. :cheers:

It's not a cocktail, but I like to say "retsina."


Mmmmmmm.

A blow job is simply a slippery nipple topped with whipped cream. You can't use your hands to drink it.

Mine should have read "cocktail names". I understood your post, I just went on a bit of a tangent because the drinks I like all have simple names. For whatever reason, the more elaborate or silly the cocktail name, the less I'm inclined to like the drink. Not much of a drink person in general, and I kind of hate cocktail names. Long Island Ice Tea. I like it.

Sex on the Beach? Hates it.
