9Lives Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I am having a hard time figuring out what is the right drink for me when I go out or when I am meeting a date for a drink. I dont have the money to experiment with all the drinks but I kinda wish I had a way to fiqure this out. Anyone know a website where you can take a quiz or another way to figure this out? I have been trying for a while to figure this out. I want to drink but I want to ENJOY my drink...what do you think?
PinkToes Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Can you go out with a bunch of friends and decide you're all going to try different things, and then share? Otherwise maybe find a wine you really like -- all you need to know is a few basics, try several different reds and several different whites, and then order the chardonnay or the merlot or whatever. Do you tend to like light drinks (alcohol & soda, for example), or fruity (vodka & OJ), or sweeter (fruit margaritas)? Even sweeter drinks like a white Russian? Do you generally like the taste of alcohol, or prefer to disguise it a bit? I know, if you knew that, you wouldn't be asking. I usually order wine, unless something on the drink menu catches my fancy. And I still like a cosmopolitan at times.

New Again Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Honestly, if this involves a date, I wouldn't be too concerned with having a signature drink or whatever it is you're going for. You should be focusing on your date right? I think simple is better: draft beer wine something on the rocks vodka and seltzer or tonic
hopesndreams Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Draft beer. Not classy enough? Who cares. It's what I enjoy. Drink what you like! You're the one that has to drink it.

littlewhiterose Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Part of the fun is figuring out what you like-outing by outing. It's like a journey! You could always ask your date what they recommend. I've done that before & that always gets the date convo going. I don't like dark liquors so I go for something with Vodka like Vodka & club soda. You could be daring and tell the bartender which liquor you prefer & to surprise you!

Yeah I agree ...it is a journey but you need to at least know one that you are cool with. I need to get my start somewhere.
D-Lish Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I myself prefer draft beer. A standard go to drink is a vodka-canberry. It's probably not a great idea to go out and mix a bunch of different drinks as it might unsettle your tummy!
Vertex Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I personally like vodka+sprite/vodka-lime or vodka+cranberry, but that's just me.
V.Vixen Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Captain morgan and diet coke, almost always.
littlewhiterose Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Yeah I agree ...it is a journey but you need to at least know one that you are cool with. I need to get my start somewhere. OK, then do this, go to the liquor store, pick up a couple of those little "airplane" bottles. Like 2 darks (whiskey & rum) & 2 lights (vodka & gin). Then get soda & juice. For the vodka & gin try sprite, OJ or pineapple juice. Or something you know that most bars/restaurants will carry. For the darks, try Coke or Ginger ale. That's a relatively inexpensive way to test drinks out. Just don't do them all on the same night. Your stomach will thank you.

t0ri Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 You probably will have to experiment a little to find what you like. Personally, I usually order a vodka tonic, purple haze, or long island iced tea. Also, if you like the taste of coconut, liquid marijuna's are pretty good.
PinkToes Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Or you could just order a Long Island Iced Tea, and try everything at once.
spookie Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Not that I go on dates, but hypothetically, I think I would be afraid to have anything alcoholic on the first one. One drink always leads to 10, and then how do I know if we're gettiing along cause I'm drunk, or cause I like him?
spookie Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) But if I'm out with friends or whatever, I will always inquire about draft specials. If I'm out barhopping then I will start with a strong foundation of vodka, then drink Bud Light all night. Edited November 28, 2009 by spookie
alphamale Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I recommend tequila and ginger ale. you mean cheap tequila & ginger ale
MissGoLightly Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 you mean cheap tequila & ginger ale If it were good tequila it wouldn't need ginger ale.
Lakeside_runner Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Find a couple of recipes online, go to a liquor store, buy booze and try out different stuff. There are some pretty good websites with drinks out there...
BobSacamento Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Beer or Gin and tonic are my usual drinks. If I really don't care what people think that night I'll have 7and7s
alphamale Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 If I really don't care what people think that night I'll have 7and7s thats a respectable drink, why would people care?
