Alcoholic Beverages...

So, I went to the bar last night with some friends and I couldn't think of any mixed drinks to get that didn't have half and half in them...
and I don't like the taste of beer... for some reason.
I was just wondering if any of you had a favorite drink mix that you can get at a bar (as opposed to staying in and mixing it yourself with soy)
Thanks!
I love, wait, LOVE, whiskey sours. Whiskey, sour mix or lemon juice, depending on how good a bar it is, sometimes grenadine, and sometimes a cherry! Margaritas are also vegan. I don't really drink any other mixed drinks. Lemondrops, too?
Oh, that sounds really good! I'll have to try those!
I love lemons and fruity things like that!
I did though have a bad experience with a mojito drink that was way too sweet...
I drink whisky straight when I'm at a bar. If I'm in the mood for a mixed drink I go with a basic well drink. Belvedere & Cran, Stoli Blueberry & soda
Fruity-ish stuff:
Singapore Sling
Red headed slut
Long Island iced tea
Tokyo Tea
Lemon Drop
Midori Sour
I can't even think of a single drink that has half & half in it. I don't mess around with sweet drinks though. I'm an alcoholic so I get straight to the serious stuff whenever I'm drinking.
oh SB, I love red headed sluts! after a bunch one night, I asked for a purple headed redhead........the bartender was like......wth???
I also love (besides zima, of course) french martini, margarita, and love champagne
The only drink that I can think of that has half and half is a White Russian.
Vodka/cranberry with a slice of lime is a good, generic drink. I know somebody mentioned whiskey sours, which are good. I like tequila sunrises, which is tequila, orange juice, and grenadine. If it's served properly, it looks like a sunrise with the grenadine sorta floating on top of the orange juice. If you don't like beer, try some ciders. I don't know where you live, but there are a few good bars around here that serve some ciders on tap and they vary in taste.
Whiskey and ginger, gin and tonic, rum and coke.
Sorted! ;)b
Yea, when I'm at home I tend to make white russians and buttery nipples....
I'm pretty new to the drink game, so those are all I ever know....
and chocolate and mudslide martini's, but I don't make those....
I'm lazy and can't be bothered to google........what's half and half? I'm guessing some sort of milk?
yea, its like a creamer people put in coffee, or even baked goods when they need a good amount of fat...
Its pretty thick (for a milk)

It's half milk/half cream.
i always go for the gin and tonic.
actually, i always go for beer... but this one bar i like does not have beer on tap (this makes me and the bartender angry)... so i go for the gin and tonic in those cases.
i used to be a white russian kind of person (at home i would make my own), but i never drink those anymore. probably because i don't keep liquor in the house.
When I'm feeling saucy, I get an incredible hulk (Hennessy & Hypnotiq).
Manhattans are good too
Black Russians are the best. And Brandy Oldfashionds sweet. Its a very midwest thing, everybody drinks them around here from 21 to 100

i love using the word saucy. mostly when describing things other than actual sauce though.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about black russians. They are good.
I always have to check how they make them - in the UK there seems to be several ways of making it and often Guiness is included.
My latest drink is grapefruit juice, sprite and vodka. I have a hard time finding Izze Grapefruit soda so I improvised my own to spike. Its tart and slightly sweet but nice!
deffineatelly u r going to love beer+wishky i love that alot so try once.

Alcoholism Information-Alcoholism Information
Alcoholism is really an addiction that develops gradually due to the intake of alcohol to longer days. Principally, a person might start drinking harmless liquor but when days go on, they stick with the taste of harmful drugs. This in turn will seriously lead to bad impact and several troublesome health hazardous effects. Alcoholism is the regular intake of alcohol either by drinking alone or cheering-up with friends. This will seriously affect the lifestyle of the person and it should be treated right away.

Around here Black Russians are 2 parts vodka, 1 part Kahluha, or another coffee flavored liquour. I like mind more 1 to 1 ratio.
Guiness in a BR! EWWWWWWWWW
Grey Goose martini with 2 - 3 olives = heaven
(but pricey!!)
