They are pretty expensive aren't they? But potent so you need less of them?

I have a friend who has those and always needs to be carried out at the end of the night

I've tried one once at TGI Fridays and I liked it OK. Maybe I should make my own!

Well, when I first got a taste for them I was dating a bartender so I drank for free for a good 10 months.

Typically, though, they aren't anymore expensive than other drinks at most places. I guess it depends, though. I've had 6 dollar Long Islands and 12 dollar Long islands and the difference/strength tends to pertain more to the bartender, less the recipe.

They ARE strong, though. They are definitely on the more Advanced Drinker's List. Which... so are Manhattans (basically just whiskey on the rocks with a cherry).

OK, you would know this with your bartending experience, say you order a whiskey on the rocks and then a Manhattan - how much more does it cost just to have that cherry on it?

These days with the Tea's there is a bottle with all the alcohol in it. Most bars use that cause to get a REAL Long Island is gonna cost a butt load.

I still do enjoy a good old fashion every once in a while but thats another time consumer.

Well, its really just tossed with ice and then strained into a cocktail glass.

It's all in the brand of whiskey that makes it expensive... I like Maker's Mark, though.

Fruit tea with honey, otherwise,

I'm very boring these days, I almost always stick with red wine or prosecco

...don't forget the vermouth and bitters to make a proper Manhattan!

I love a good bourbon. My favorite, if you can find it:

I typically ask for them to have as little vermouth as possible! I can't stand vermouth usually, but a Manhattan is mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

I usually drink peach shnapps.

second choice is Baileys on ice.

Gin and Tonic with a touch of lime.

don't care much for alcohol. i never really did. i really like tea thought.

i like:

or

Godiva's Chocolate Liquour - Vermeer chocolate liqueur also Mathilde Anisette Liqueur

chocolate fun over almond milk or vanilla soy yogurt. (i'm lactose intolerant). also anisette taste so very cool (if you like licorice).

Jacks & Cokes

I used to be a vodka pig.

I'm into gin now, but I'm not a pig anymore. Well, with the alcohol that is.

I have a bottle of Hendricks in the freezer right now, and I gotta say, it's much better than Bombay Sapphire IMO. You can really taste the cucumber in it and it totally works.

For me,the weekend is not complete without a few shots of this

You can never go wrong with Grey Goose That's some good stuff.

Captain & Coke

(actually Captain & Pepsi, but that just doesn't have the same ring to it)

2 nice Belgian abby ales. For those that enjoy the dark or stout beers like Guinness sould look for these two in the local specialty shops. 2 world class beers.
