Title: What do you typically order in a bar? Post by: dystopia on October 06, 2006, 01:12:18 PM Do you have a regular drink that you typically order in a bar?
I just realized that I'm in a rut and have been following the same bar routine since college (33 now). I usually either order a pint of whatever beer looks interesting on tap or a well Gin and Tonic [cheap bastage [sm_pod]], and I'm hoping for ideas on how to mix things up. What do you guys do (if you drink alcohol, that is)? Title: Re: What do you typically order in a bar? Post by: spacey on October 06, 2006, 01:18:39 PM Due to Utah's ridiculous liquor laws, cocktails are generally too expensive and not potent enough for me to bother to order them in bars, so I typically go with the "whatever on draft sounds interesting" route. I prefer pitchers if possible.
Back when I was younger and didn't mind spending too much money on weak cocktails I had a couple of favorites. My standard drink back then was 7 & Seven or Captain & Coke (both are far too sweet for my tastes these days, but occasionally I'll do a Bacardi and Diet). Shooters of choice were Kamikazis and Mind Erasers. We had a bartender friend at the bar we frequented who would skirt the liquor laws on the Mind Erasers so they ended up being about 6 oz. of liquor apiece. :o Oh the humanity! Now I tend to prefer to drink at home. My regular libation is burboun and water, but occasionally I mix in a Margarita or a vodka (preferrably Ketel One) and tonic.

stroh, do you usually order your namesake in a bar? Title: Re: What do you typically order in a bar? Post by: stroh on October 06, 2006, 01:38:15 PM I'm about as plain as it gets. Tall(usually 23oz. but more at some places)Draft Beer. Almost always Michelob Golden Draft Light. But I like any kind of beer.
Every once and a while I will have a few margaritas(rocks), but for the most part I stopped drinking Liquor years ago. 7&7 is good. Gin & grapefruit juice. I'm allergic to Captain.

They used to brew it here. I barely remember a tour to the brewery once. ;) (glad I wasn't drivin') Title: Re: What do you typically order in a bar?

If money were no object I would drink Knob Creek or Russell's Reserve almost exclusively. Since money is an object, I very often buy whatever midgrade bourbon is on sale. I've been drinking Old Forester lately, but apparently the Utah State Liquor stores will no longer be carrying it. I'm also a fan of Jim Beam Black Label and Makers Mark (really a sour mash whisky rather than a true bourbon, I believe). Some of the better, lesser expensive brands: Old Grand Dad (grandad?), Ezra Brooks, and Evan Williams. Title: Re: What do you typically order in a bar?

Post by: Salamander on October 06, 2006, 03:44:33 PM Frangelico or Amaretto on the Rocks, some times Long Island, I'll ask for a 'rita or a cosmo if I know that the place makes it decently.
Title: Re: What do you typically order in a bar? Post by: Teed on October 06, 2006, 05:56:29 PM Sprite or Cranberry Juice. I haven't had a drink since '92.

Hey Sal, do you drink your Frangelico over ice with a squeeze of lime juice? ;D Title: Re: What do you typically order in a bar?

Just to mix things up, you may want to try a margarita...not the phony, girly frozen strawberry kind, but a real one: Tequila, Cointreau, and Lime Juice over ice.
