Alcohol has been acting as a social lubricant for ages, and when it comes to loosening up people and helping starting relationships, alcohol is the number one method of choice.
Cocktails
-Sex on the Beach --- One of the most popular cocktails, “Sex on the Beach” is a delicious fruity drink that almost anyone will like. It's a great tropical highball that is wonderful on hot summer nights or afternoons at the beach, in the club or just about anywhere else. If you enjoy cocktails, then you should place this drink on your “to drink list”
Recipe: ½oz vodka, ½oz peach schnapps, 2oz cranberry juice, 2oz orange juice and plenty of ice.
-Tequila Sunrise --- The Tequila Sunrise is a personal favorite because it tastes and looks great. The grenadine adds a fine sweetness to the orange juice while the tequila becomes more prominent as you get toward the bottom of the glass. The story behind the drink says that it was first served in Cancun and Acapulco in the 50's to welcome tourists but, after a brief surge in 70's discos, it lost much of its limelight.
It’s a very pleasant drink to have especially is you are some what “thirsty”. I for one prefer it with more tequila for a faster mind numbing experience.
Recipe: 4 oz orange juice, 2 oz tequila, ½ oz grenadine, orange slice for garnish, maraschino cherry for garnish and plenty of ice.
-Whisky Sour --- A true man can't survive on bread and water alone. When the urge for a fulfilling drink comes, this should be your first pick.
Recipe: 1oz Whiskey, 2oz. Sweet & Sour Maraschino Cherry, brown sugar, lemon twist.
Beer
“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”-Benjamin Franklin
When it comes to beer I choose based on my thirst/craving ratio.
Leffe blond -When I want a truly satisfying strong blond
Leffe black -When I want a truly satisfying strong brunette
Hoegaarden-When I want to reward my senses with a rare white beer
All these above are being brewed by monastery nuns(Leffe) and monks(Hoegaarden)
For all the other occasions I choose Heineken
Shooters
If cops used these instead of bullets, I’d break the law more often.
Kamikaze --- A real sweet and sour strong treat, and at 40ml a shot will have you spinning after your first consecutive 3. Definitely my favorite shot.
Recipe: ½ oz Vodka, ¼ oz Triple Sec, ¼ oz Roses Lime Juice
Red Death --- well, you get the point.
Recipe: 1oz Vodka, ½ oz Southern Comfort, ½ oz Sloe Gin, ¼ oz Triple Sec, ¼ oz lime juice ½ oz range juice
Wine
Probably the most preferred form of alcohol, definitely mine. I could sit and write about this type of drink the whole night, but it all depends on your tastes. I suggest you ask a knowing friend and experiment allot.
