So I want a yummy drink. Something where I don't realize I'm drinking.

Just a warning, in case you're being honest about not drinking much before- When you say "yummy drink where I don't realize I'm drinking," eventually, someone will suggest a long island iced tea. Do not trust anyone who says that. They are being honest, because when it's made well, it's a yummy drink that masks the alcohol very well. However, it is made to get you drunk as hell. I guess the that should be amended to "do not trust anyone who says that unless you are looking to get drunk as hell". Basically what I'm saying is you should get a long island iced tea

I thought the LIIT was just grabbing the basic poo poo and putting a shot of each and then some coke? Like gin, rum, vodka and coke or something like that? I don't see how that could ever taste good.

I thought the exact same before I had one and it's some kind of magic. I don't even like gin, and it's not just gin, rum, and vodka. It also has tequila and triple sec (cointreau or grand marnier if you're fancy) along with the mixer if they use one. The cola helps mix and cut it more and at the end you've got like 4 shots of alcohol in a glass that you can get down really easy. I don't understand it, but it's a dangerous drink and every new drinker should be aware of how potent it actually is

Banana and coffee is a great drink flavor combination if you can get it to work

I haven't had a shochu that I've liked, but I've had sake I've liked and sake I've thought was disgusting, and to be honest if I was gonna get into any kind of alcohol for the flavor it'd either be bourbon, japanese whiskey, or sake, just based on my experience with Knob Creek, the one time i had Yamazaki 18 year, and Otokoyama, respectively. I figure shochu probly has specific poo poo like that in it that would stand out if someone was really dedicated to it, but I have never seen it drank in a context outside of highballs, myself.

I think I've gotten to the point where I want to buy a cocktail mixing set. Or those big stainless steel cups that you shake things in and a mini-collander or whatever it is called.

No one has suggested a foofy yummy drink, though. Something like a Harlot Ripper or a Krakatoa Survivor. You know the sort. They have things like blue curacao in them and umbrellas. And silly names that elicit happy colors and escapes from reality.

Tequila Sunset
Cosmopolitan
Hurricane
Mai Tai
Brandy Alexander (this is your chocolate choo choo)

I think people misunderstood. I don't planning on being an alcoholic. I just like the idea of having a drink in the evening every so often. But I want some idea of how to make them myself.

So I have been doing what I always do when something interests me. Research.

And youtube just gave me this video:

I think it's pretty funny.

I think you should just watch more of that guy. He's a good guy

Yeah, but when it's in the category that says "this definitely causes cancer, there's no question about it", it matters a bit more.

Cancer is an awful terrible thing. I've got kids. We should all be looking after ourselves. :shobon:

That's the problem with kids, they really wreck your nihilism
