Filled my bar and realized I had everything to make a Long Island Iced Tea, which I never had before.
So, this is fairly involved. Not as in complicated but as in you need a lot of spirits.

1 part Gin
1 part Tequilla
1 part Vodka
1 part white Rum
1 part Triple Sec
Sugar syrup to your liking
1.5 parts lemon juice
About 1.5 parts cola as a float

So I am going with 1 ounce for parts or 30ml. That's four ounces of hard liquor, as much as two Old Fashioned, plus some Triple Sec.
Famous to fuck one's shit up but just think of one LIIT as two drinks.
Sugar is to your liking. Personally, I use a 3:1 simple cane sugar syrup so I go with half an ounce/15ml. Adjust as needed.
Cola is just for the colour. It should take about 1.5 parts to get it to a lemon ice tea colour. You won't taste it.

So, it tastes like a really refreshing lemonade, then comes the Tequilla, then the Gin. Thats about it. You can barely taste the rum, not the vodka (surprise) and the triple sec drowns in the lemon notes of the lemon juice and lemon cola notes perhaps.

Dangerously easy to drink! You would not think it is from the arseload of hard spirits in your shaker.

It doesn't taste like an iced tea but more like a lemonade with a dash of Tequilla and a bit of Gin. A wonderful summer drink that will buzz you hard before the first sausage on the grill is done.

I'm at my second one in and already feel it.
Don't use expensive stuff. Perhaps take care of decent Tequilla and Gin, since they are prominent. Otherwise, go cheap. And don't buy shit just for this. Only make it if you have the stuff around. A much cheaper summer drink to mess you up is a Gin Tonic or Gin Gimlet (Vodka Gimlet even if you are a fucking heretic) or even an Absinthe.

Manhattan time!

I've made some before but I didn't really have the right ingredients.
Classically, it's two parts Rye Whiskey, one part sweet Vermouth, a couple of dashes of Angostura Bitters and it's a stirred drink, poured without ice into a cold glass.

I didn't have any Rye. It's a bitch to get here. People don't even know what it is for the most part. Jim Beam used to make one and that you could find. That lasted only a few years, I think two, and then they consolidated it into their R1 brand.
Because nobody knows that, despite being from Beam-Santori, it disappeared from the market.

So no regular supermarket will have any Rye Whiskey.
But a big one in Flensburg does. So now I've got Rittenhouse Rye. Bottled in bond, so it's 100 proof.
I've had it before, about ten or more years ago. It's a very nice Rye, affordable and if you want to proof it down you can just add a bit of water.

The other ingredient was a dry Vermouth. Because the so called "Perfect Manhattan" calls for half a part of sweet and dry Vermouth.

Lastly, for a garnish, a cherry. Often a Maraschino cherry, sometimes a Bourbon-soaked one. I am using Amarena cherries. Boy, do those make a difference!

So, here goes the "Perfect Manhattan":
2 parts Rye Whiskey
1/2 part Dry Vermouth
1/2 part Sweet Vermouth
2 Dashed of Angostura Bitters

Stirr with ice until cold and diluted to your liking. Pour into a cold glass, drop a cherry in.

The cherry makes a massive difference. So does the addition of dry Vermouth.
You get the sweetness of dark cherries at the top of your tongue.
At the sides, it's the flowery, bitter and lacking in all sweetness notes of Wehrmut, immediately followed by the herbs of the Angostura. On the middle of your tongue, Whiskey and Wine are dancing.

It's a wonderful cocktail! As you drink, it's getting a bit sweeter with every sip, until you get to the syrupy cherry that has gone quite alcoholic by that point. It's your reward.

A great cocktail that is incredibly flexible. You can use Bourbon or even Cognac instead. Vermouths will all make a big difference as well, as does the correct pick of a cherry. Go with dark cherries. And don't leave them out. The drink can stand without it but at what cost? You'd be cheating yourself out of a treat.

Mai Tai
It's White Boy Summer and that means Tiki drink time!

The Mai Tai is a classic and in the IBA list of 100 official cocktails.
Originally, it called for a very specific rum, as many Tiki drinks do, but that one isn't produced anymore. Either way, who cares? Tiki is all about exploring different rum combinations.

This one is simple with a twist. It follows the rule of something sour, something sweet and booze.
Our sour is limes, our booze is rum and our sweet is orgeat syrup.

So, it's:
3/4 part fresh Lime Juice
1/2 part Orgeat
2 parts Rum


That's it! Shake well with ice, pour in a glass with preferably crushed ice, garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of mint.

What is Orgeat? It's almond syrup. That's the twist. Instead of sugar syrup, you use that. Honestly, it would be good with simple syrup or even coconut syrup, but it wouldn't be a Mai Tai.

The only thing to keep in mind is that you get the milky white Orgeat, not the brownish almond syrup for faggot coffee.

inb4 >muh cum

Experiment with the rum! I find either one part light and one part dark rum or two parts aged rum to be best.
It's never going to be a bad drink, no matter what you chose. Give it a try!

Don't even take my word for it. It's one of the most popular cocktails ever and landed on the IBA list despite it being a Tiki drink.

The IBA are uptight cunts. Any drink from the 70s or Tiki is already unlikely to make the list. Hell, they took the Black Russian on it, but not the White Russian. Basically a shitty drink for dipshits that forgot to buy cream. But it's not the low caste 70s drink, so it's alright.

Only the Pina Colada and the Mai Tai represent Tiki on the list and really only because they are very popular.

So, if you're human, you will likely enjoy the cocktail.
