Your favorite mixed drink recipes
 

I love Tom Collins, and I make my own (of course)

I start with
Tom Collins or highball glass (or even a beer pint glass ;) )
Add about 1.5 parts lemon - fresh squeezed
3 parts Bombay Sapphire
1-1.5 parts simple sugar (matters how sweet you want it) - I make my own at home, better suger and its "fresher"
top it all off with good quality sparking water (I like Perrier)
pour over ice in the glass and mix

I get a excellent drink, I would say my favorite

What about yours? :D

Bacardi & Coke-keep it simple Sally
 

1 part Bacardi rum
3 parts Coca Cola (not diet, not Pepsi, not a knock off cola...use the real Coke)

Pour over a glass full of ice at 36,000 feet heading anywhere warm, preferably in F :cool:

Vodka Diet Coke

3 parts vodka (nothing fancy - Smirnoff is fine)
1 part Diet Coke

Mix, then sip, cringe, and repeat

I love a Mt. Gay & Tonic.

I don't use any method of measuring the liquid, but it probably works out to about 3 parts Rum to 1 part tonic. Mt. Gay rum tastes so good on its own that despite these being strong, the taste is very smooth. Usually garnish with a lime.

These are REALLY good.

I'll always stop what I'm doing for a Malibu Sunset.

Fill a glass with ice.
2 oz Malibu Coconut Rum
Fill with Pineapple Juice.
Pour 1/2 oz Creme De Nouyax down a spoon to bottom of glass.
Garnish with Pineapple.

This is wonderful in the summer! :cool:

Gin + Tonic + Ice + Lime = :cool:

Not sure of the name and as the first time I had one was on an early morning DL flight I call it a Delta Sunrise - Amaretto (split in to two glasses - one each for Mrs Italy98 and me) and topped with OJ.

For me, a nice martini always does the trick...

Fill shaker with a few cubes of ice. Top liberally with Ketel One.
Open vermouth bottle.
Put the cap back on the vermouth bottle - that was enough.
Shake, stir, flip, whatever mood I'm in.
Pour into glass. Add 2 jumbo garlic-stuffed olives. Enjoy.

(Damn...that's not a mixed drink? Ok, here goes again...)

My favorite margarita is made with Cuervo gold, Cuervo margarita mix, a big chunk of lime, and my secret ingredient - a splash of Grand Marnier.

a martini is a mixed drink. there was at one time ice in it :)

Pour Lagavulin (16, of course) in glass. Add 2 rocks. Enjoy.

Sauvignon Blanc
Shiraz or Bordeaux blend
Port
Keep in separate glasses. Don't pour until first glass, or two, has been consumed.

A few months late ... see
 

here.

my favorite this summer has been a Painkiller, made with Pusser's rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut.

That's way too much vermouth. Just taking it off the shelf is overkill ;) :D

My favorite: Vodka Gimlet

Ice + Grey Goose + Lime Juice = Love

((As a bartender I learned young that dry meant DRY. Never, ever put vermouth in a martini ordered dry. -- As a corollary, I always found it amusing when martini's sent out this way (i.e. Chilled Gin) were sent back with instructions to make the next one "Dryer"))
