Vodka is good for getting drunk but not much else. If I'm trying to get the ladies messed up quick a good Cosmopolitan works fast.
I'm a sucker for a martini but it's got to be gin, very dry and I can't have just one. Unless you're at a martini bar or high end restaurant most bartenders don't make a good martini. Try to only drink these on a special occasion or before a great meal.
The basic margarita when done with silver Cuervo, Cointreau and fresh lime juice is another favorite.
But for a cocktail it's got to be old school, like a rusty nail or something else served small, packs a punch and tastes like it's of another era.
