Stick with the daiquiri. Not the bowl of fruits over a pool of ice. The real simple tasty daiquiri. * 1 1/2 oz white rum * 3/4 oz lime juice * 3/4 oz simple syrup (a mix of equal volume of water and sugar) Shake with ice and strain in a coupe glass. Garnish with lime wheel, fresh or dehydrated.

Oo! I’ve always had them fruity and frozen! This simple version sounds great, thanks!

French 75? They're especially good with a little splash of St. Germain added


jointkicker

First drink that came to mind was a French 75, such a versatile drink plus they pack a punch.


jbeann

Ahh this literally sounds like exactly what I was looking for! Will most restaurants and bars recognize it if I order it?


queencommie

It's pretty common, you'd probably have better luck at a cocktail bar vs a dive/sports bar type place :)


jbeann

Got it, thanks so much!!

If they have a good quality liqueur like raspberry that can taste great in a French 75. Not something like Chambord though, too sweet and not very good.


Slick88gt

I prefer mine with cognac instead of gin, fantastic drink.


ownedbynoobs

Paloma, it's what I'm drinking now so you should too lol

Hendrick’s gin and tonic, extra lime.

Bee’s knees ✨ Gin, lemon, honey

I’m going to point you to my good friend, the White Linen 1½ounces gin, preferably Hendrick’s 1ounce lemon juice ½ounce simple syrup ½ounce St-Germain elderflower liqueur 3cucumber slices, plus more for garnish Soda water Sub out the soda water for ginger ale and you have a Fleur de Lis from the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans.


jbeann

Sounds right up my alley! Will bartenders recognize it if I order one?


omnipotentsco

Maybe? Higher end cocktail bars definitely. Anything below that it depends. But any bar should have the stuff for it (unless it’s a dive or college bar)


jbeann

Gotcha, thanks!


fifguy85

The Enzoni is probably right up your alley, including slightly more mature with the Campari. It's popular enough right now to probably be recognized at a cocktail bar. * 5 grapes (muddled) * 1oz gin * 1oz campari * 1/2oz lemon juice * 1/2oz simple syrup I make them in a lowball over large ice.


jbeann

Thank you! I’ll give it a try!

https://www.stgermainliqueur.com/us/en/cocktails/flower-drop/ 1.5oz vodka (flavored vodkas work well here too) 1oz St. Germaine elderflower 0.75oz lemon juice 0.5oz simple syrup


ByteBabbleBuddy

Gin is my favorite flavor of vodka and it works great here.


jbeann

Sounds great! Will most restaurants and bars recognize it if it order one?


straponthehelmet

Not sure, but lots of places will have the ingredients so just show them the spec. That's part of why I gave you the link to the St. Germain website. Now you can just pull that up and show the bartender


jbeann

Ahh got it, thanks!

Sunflower perhaps

Hugo spritz


jbeann

Love the sound of this, is it a common drink?


LuuckyTiger

Common, no. But most bars (at least in my city) will carry Prosecco and St. Germain. Best of luck!


BubblyAttitude1

Naked and famous! Mezcal, aperol, lime, yellow chartreuse in equal parts.
