Manhattan

Surfer On Acid

Shot of Malibu Rum

Shot of Jagermeister

Pineapple Juice, not much more than 2-3 shots worth

Ice

Put it all in the shaker and shake vigorously so you get a little melt

Pour it all in a short glass

It's lethal. Like on the floor lethal. Tastes like Kool-Aid so you drink them too fast and get completely wrecked. I don't even like Jager but there's something about how the three work together that makes it so dang good. Haven't had one in over a decade and I still sometimes think, "maybe I want a Surfer on Acid... nah.... no I don't"

I've seen variations of it, as well (evidently it can be a shot or in a tall glass), but that's the version I first had at a friends wedding reception, like, 20-25 years ago.

Greyhound/Salty Dog

Idk, something about the combination of vodka and grapefruit juice, sometimes with the salted rim. It just works for me.

I don't know how anything with Jagermeister in it could possibly taste like Kool-Aid.

Once, at the end of a party when pretty much all the booze and mixers were gone, I made a drink that was vodka, orange juice and Diet Rite white grape soda. It tasted ike a circus peanut. You know - those orange candies that are like hard marshmallow peanuts?

Manhattan

So I need to modify:

Manhattan is my go-to Winter cocktail.

French 75: Spring

Gin Martini: Summer

Fall I tend to do more craft beers and Guinness than cocktails...but back to Manhattans around November.
