[blueerica]

I have a number of favored drinks, but if we're going for the standard thing to order, I have a short list.

Once upon a time, I would order Whiskey Sours, because they were the only thing I felt I could guarantee would turn out at least okay... But after a few bad experiences in a row (and a few thirsty moments on the dance floor), I stopped that train, and hopped on the vodka tonic train. I like Grey Goose best, but Belvedere is a good vodka, and Ketel One has been a family favorite. I also like a good martini, but not too dirty. Preferred martini is up with a twist or pearl onions. The Encounter kept insisting on putting olives in my 'tinis with the lemon twist :YUCK:. I'm peculiar about my olives, and I don't care for most kinds that come in a jar in the states... So don't muddy up my perfectly good martini with your dirty olive juice!

If I'm feeling cold, and want something to give me the warm and fuzzies, these days, it's been the Manhattan. Deep down, I've always been a whiskey girl.

If I'm really cold, it's a brandy or Frangelico (if I've got a bit of a sweet tooth).

Out to dinner: Cabernet Sauvignon, or the occasional Sauvignon Blanc.
