Happy Belated Birthday! I see that you are new. Welcome to Agnostic. Grey Goose and cranberry juice is good. I mostly drink rum and coke when I go out. Usually drink beer at home.

Moscow Mule--vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice. Served in a copper cup.

Try Grey Goose Vodka and Mountain Dew.

Gin and tonic is my go to when I'm not having a beer. Gotta go up a shelf, at least, to a Beefeater, Bombay, or Tanqueray, for the gin. I always thought gin was nasty, that is until I had a gin that wasn't bottom shelf Seagram's. LOL

Enjoy your birthday and I'd like to hear what you tried and if you liked it.

Cheers!

Something new but old and very grown up is the negroni.
Equal parts vermouth,gin,campari. Ice. Slice of orange.
No straw.
A great way to start a night.
Happy Birthday!

When I go to the bar, I usually have a Jack and Coke. Otherwise you can try a Brandy Alexander.

OT Food Magazine renamed the Jack and Coke to The Lemmy.

How about vodka and prune juice-you know a pile driver. Kidding aside, do you have any really good Irish theme pubs in your area? If so they should have a live band with some sing alongs and enough varieties of Jameson (among others) to float a battleship. Happy Birthday.

If you can find Brazilian cachaça, try the "caipirinha"

You can make your own drink. Try this one. A very small piece of ginger, half of a lemon, half of a cardamom, 4 mint leves and sugar. Add these ingredients in one and a half glass of cold water and blend them in a blender/mixer. You can use a sieve to get the clear juice. If you find it too strong, add more water.

You can't go wrong with a pint of Guinness.

I like the classics. A good martini or an old fashioned
