Or what has been your go to lately? I'm usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I'm trying to branch out a little these days. What're you drinking?

Currently sipping on a Paloma:

1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
.5oz lime juice

Pinch of salt

For a cocktail, I'll take a well executed Mojito 9/10 times. That other 1/10 is often a White Russian.

Else a gin & tonic as a long drink, as long as they got decent stuff.

These days I have maybe 2-3 drinks a year at most, so I'm not willing to settle for inferior ingredients.

Well executed being the key here! I don't know how many Mojitos I've had with just 5 limp mint leaves barely muddled in them

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah, or using syrups for lime, mint and even sugar. I've once received something that can only be described as a glass of sprite with a dash of toothpaste. Utterly repulsive.
