I don't drink but when I do its moonshine.
Once a year maybe or to help overcome a common cold.
slice a strawberry (blueberries work too- but the colors are not as good) into 1mm thin slices. scatter onto crushed ice. Drizzle a citrus vodka over the fruit, and add a splash of Midori melon for green (christmas) or Hypnotique (sp?) for blue (4th of july) color and taste. sip through mixing straws. warning- addictive!
I make these at parties, they go like hotcakes!

Not a big drinker but when I do it is normally red wine.

I have always been partial to a well made Long Island Ice Tea. If it is made right, it is awesome. If it is made wrong, it is awful. No middle ground to speak of. Also like a good Kamikaze as well. While in the service, i was told of a drink called a New Jersey Turnpike. The bartender wipes up the bar and squeezes it into a glass and serves it. I don't know if this drink actually exists, but it does sound funny. (no offense intended to those from Jersey)
I used to be a bartender in college and we had something similar called a bar mat cocktail. You know, that disgusting rubber mat on which drinks are prepared. Dump the remnants into a shot glass and voila, an equally disgusting concoction.
Never upset the bartender, you may very well get a bonus shot like this in your drink of choice!!!

I'd always wanted to try a cosmo, but in guy mode, never had the guts, and so I tried one when out as Stephanie one night. Loved it! This is a great thread, and the green apple martini is next on my list!
Vodka martini, 3 olives. But when surrounded by palm trees, A Pain Killer goes down nicely!!

Seize the day. Life is short, and you're dead a long time...just sayin' ...
I usually drink grape vodka and red bull, but if I want something girlie I'll have a Cosmo.
Boiler makers is a girl drink.. back when i was stupid and I don't mean yesterday..even though i might have been..anyway..we would drop a big shot of Walker Red in a pitcher so it was like a boiler maker. Knew i met my match when i bit the glass one night..and crunched a bit, before spitting..yes, i'm a spitter.. .
Long Island Ice Tea..mmmm..back in the day when it was a $1.25 for a large cup..yep they weren't stupid to give glasses.. $1 tip would get you most of a double dose.. "but mom, its Tea".. yeah, aint being 19 grand..lol.

Sweet drinks give me a headache. Wine is always good, whites are the most reliable and don't bog me down with tannins. Finish the evening with a Benedictine or cognac.
My favorite is whatever I have in my hand when asked!
Appletini, Mai Tai, Tequila Sunrise, Bellini, but of course #1 is champagne!...not a big wine drinker.
Diet Coke.

We call this a black orchid, though I'm not sure it's the correct name.
1 part vodka (absolut) 1 part blue curacao, 1 part cranberry juice. On the rocks, shaken.
It's very yummy and easy drinking! You usually have to teach the bartender how to make it though.
I don't really have one. If I'm drinking I'll order what I feel like regardless of how I'm dressed. It could be anything from a Vodka Martini, Grey Goose, dry with 3 olives (need my protein) to Irish Whiskey on the rocks and anything in between.
