Gin & Tonic: This is perfection over ice. Aviation gin is a current favorite along with Fever Tree or Fentimans tonic.
Don’t forget the lime wedge.
Vodka + Soda: Are you seeing the theme here? Simplicity is key.
This drink is made or broken by the vodka choice so choose wisely. Ketel One is a solid and widely available option but feels free to branch out but for goodness sake avoid the good vodka.
Tequila sipper: This is NOT a shooter. A high-quality tequila is a sip-able masterpiece. Casamigos and Herradura will treat you right. NO lime or salt – this isn’t a frat house.
Boiler Maker: The perfect combo of a shot of whiskey to be sipped along with an ice cold lager.
Don’t skimp on either and be sure to take it slow. I suggest a shot of Blanton’s Bourbon with nice clean lager. Reuben’s Brews Pilsner, Firestone Walker Pivo Pils, Chuckanut Brewery’s Helles Lager, and Ayinger Bavarian Pilsner are all amazing options.
White Russian: You know you’ve achieved full Dudeness when you can confidently order this mixture of equal parts Kahlua, Vodka, and heavy cream over ice – now you’re Doing Life Right.
