Sounds mystical you sexy minx. But I think I will stick to stouts, wine and scotch.

I've got a new favorite- Gin with jolly ranchers. Moonshine ain't too bad either, as I found out.

Santarea, I love you for loving Guinness. Mother's milk (Mum drank it to settle her stomach when she was pregnant with me and I've always loved the stuff.)
Did you know the iron in Guinness is very bio-available? If you're a tad anaemic like me and have trouble absorbing iron, a pint or three is a good remedy. Also, raw liver. And sucking the neck of a virgin. But I digress.
The Amnesia is a recipe I nicked from a sadly lamented bar called Mortis, which is No More (sob).
In a large champagne flute, mix 30 ml each of Chambord and Llmoncello. Add a splash of apricot nectar and top with chilled champagne.
This is about as sweet as I can handle. I adore straight champagne and earthy red wines, naturally I'm a martini drinker, and I like a really good irish whiskey. And absinthe, obviously.

By and large I am a Guinness drinker. I was quite pleased when my favorite bar got it in draft a couple months ago. As far as shots go, since I don't really drink any mixed drinks, I have two that I like.
One is simple, Capt. Morgans Tattoo and Red Bull shooters.
The second is a little more complex, but I am proud to say that it is my creation. One night I was feeling adventerous and couldn't decide if I wanted Jager or if I wanted Tattoo. After consulting with one of my favorite bartenders over what would mix the best with both of them, we came up with a Black Death.
One part Jagermeister, one part Tattoo, with just enough cranberry juice to make it go down smoothly. It's served in a rocks glass, basically two shots in one. Goes down smooth, but it definetly has a kick.

First, I'd just like to expand on the fact that Guiness (since it is very dark) is really good for you. Workout trainers actually recommend a few a week if you want. The amount of antioxidants in it are much higher the darker it is, so..... Pint of Guiness anyone?
Anyways, on to why I'm posting. Just recently, I made a mixer using an energy drink and another party.
It's called a Frankenberry:
1 ounce - Black Cherry Vodka
1 ounce - Black Rasberry Liqueur
Shake well in a shaker, and strain into glass. Then add an equal amount of Monster to what is already in the glass.
This should end you with 2 parts Monster, 1 part Vodka, and 1 part Liqueur. It's very tasty, and you almost can't even taste the alcohol. I gotta say, I'm proud of this little mixer. I hope it ends up in the B. Bible someday.

I was never one to care what is "just for girls" or "just for boys." Vodka is my precioussssss.
Anyway, I've always adhered to the K.I.S.S rule.
Two parts Ocean Spray cranberry juice and one part vodka. Serve with ice and a cherry. Great in the summertime.

yeah, but once they can, they may miss out on Absinthe, but they can get Everclear.
If anything was going to become birth control in a bottle it is Everclear.

Try Tequilla Vodka Redbull
Far better. Most I have drunk in a night is 8.
Didn't sleep for 3 days though.

The traditional Bloody mary.
Good vodka chilled icey.
Tomato Juice.
Tobasco sauce
Celery Salt
A stick of celery for stiring
and a jug full of ice for mixing.
Woohoo
or if you are Whisky/Whiskey/Bourbon lover
Favourite blend of choice.
Ginger ale
large slug of lime juice.
Either works for me.

My friend asked a barman to make him a "holloweeny" drink once....
The guy came up with this -
A pint of WKD blue (a pansy-assed malternative/alcopop)
Ice
Red Aftershock poured carefully onto the ice...
The Red Aftershock drips down the ice inside the blue wkd. It looks pretty and doesn't taste too bad...

Favorite mixed drink...I'm going to have to say that would be the mojito, which is a bit labor intensive but very much worth the effort. The more traditional way to make one is to have simple syrup done before hand but you can skip that if you want. Some people like ice cubes, I'm going to say they are wrong and that this requires crushed ice.
What you need:
Fresh Mint Leaves
Limes (sliced)
Sugar (regular granulated works fine)
Crushed Ice
Rum - Avoid darker rums, though some experiments with brown sugar and dark rum was interesting!
Club Soda
One really adequate glass depending on just how much drinking you intend to do, make sure its sturdy
Something to mash bit with, if you have mortar and pestle set the pestle will work wonderfully here
Put some lime slices and whole mint leaves in your glass, dump sugar on top of them and begin to mash them up with your pestle. Dump your crushed ice into the glass. Pour rum, top off with club soda. Add a few unmashed mint leaves to make it purdy.
This is the superior 'its too damn hot out' drink I've found. Have a friend who makes Sake versions of this, which are surprisingly good.
Korova - A name that always makes me smile, seeing it says you are in Dallas so I'll assume thats more of a Clockwork Orange reference than the bar itself. Yes there really IS a bar. Fun place, tad pricey, but definately unique. (mea culpa if linking to an establishment is frowned upon, seemed appropriate given it is a thread about drinking)

Whiskey and water. Three shots whiskey and two shots water. You will get drunk as all get out and no hang over.

mojito/mohito - I've seen it spelt both ways and I'm not too much into cocktail sience t be able to tell which one's correct(er?), however, I like it.
whiskey and no hangover? The smell of whiskey alone makes me sick....not quite my drink

Bah!
I drink whiskey all the time with no hang-over.
Rum will likely be the death of me, though. Can't get enough of it and it's ill morning-after effects. Why do we cling to those that hurt us most? I guess it's cuz there's still half a bottle in the fridge calling my name...

Ah Rum! Dark or White? Do you mix it with anything or drink it straight? I used to drink Barcadi all the time... Stopped because of the hellish, stomach-lining-removing, skulll crushingly painful hang overs, though. I'm such a pussy

If you mix red wine and coke it can taste really good... as long as the wine is cheap and the coke is pure-cut ;P
But it is actually nice with lots of ice... It#s a spanish srink, apparently. At least I was taught about it by a spanish guy and it has a spanish name, which I can't remember now...
*edit* It's called Kalimotxo!
