The cocktail thread (I blame the Rona) - post yours !

A Bulleit Rye Old Fashioned or a Plymouth Gin Martini are my go-tos, but I do enjoy a vodka martini as well. So here is my public announcement...

Do try Sobieski vodka. Being 100% Polish, I may be biased, but this stuff is truly great. There is no such thing as a 'Polish' premium vodka, because pretty much all Polish vodkas are premium, IMNSHO. Tastes just as good as vodkas two or more times the price (actually, it is quite tasteless, which is what vodka should be by definition...). The company has been around for a long, long time, although it is still relatively unknown in the US. You and your wallet will thank me...
 
I think Luksusowa is great. It is hard to find, for me.
 
Whatever libation you choose. Yeah, Yeah responsibly but with class. L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace.

We had friends staying with us since Friday. They left this morning, and I think my liver needs a two-week break.
We certainly had fun and caught up on everything, but hoo boy, there was drinking.
 
In college there was this "speak easy" type of bar in the basement of this office building in a pretty unhip area of town. You entered through a barbershop and then through a bookshelf door in the back of the barber shop and it had the best cocktails ever. I would love to time travel back and see if I can still handle/ like mixed drinks with 3 different types of alcohol. I think the building burned down. Now the most exotic thing I drink a rum and coke (and the rum has to be good stuff like Kraken, not the cheap crap from the good old days).

All cocktails are good here. I have a good friend interred at Arlington. I used to give him a lot of good-natured ribbing over his love of foo-foo drinks. If they had little umbrellas in them, they were for him.

Please post your foo-foo drinks, for Bob.

@THParent, here's one for Bob...

The Blue Spoodle Cocktail
Spoodles, Boardwalk Resort at Disneyworld, circa 2005

1 ounce GranGala (I've used bargain triple-sec as a substitute)
1 ounce Blue Curacao
1/2 ounce Peach Schnapps
4 ounce Pina Colada Mix

Put all ingredients into a blender with 2 cups of ice and blend. When smooth, pour contents into a hurricane glass, top with whipped cream and a strawberry on the rim of glass. Best served with a straw. (I also like to add a slice of pineapple on the rim and a maraschino cherry on top). Place a mini umbrella in the straw for Bob to add some extra foo-foo.

Yes, now if I could only remember the name of the place! ...OMG the power of google! The Barber's Closet! "The Hotel Washington, 636 W. Washington Ave., burned down Feb. 18, 1996, taking with it several beloved bars. Club de Wash, pictured here, was a popular live music venue. The building housed a variety of bars and restaurants, including the New Bar, Rod's Club, the Barber's Closet, MicroBar and the Cafe Palms and Espresso Bar." Club de Wash had concerts and was also in the building somewhere and there was also gay biker bar with lots of leather clad chaps on the dance floor that we wandered into after too many cocktails at the Barber's Closet.
 
Last Saturday it seemed like a lovely day for a little day drinking. Our 24-year-old daughter and I harvested mint from the garden, and yes, sniffed the mint. Then we 'muddled it' and made perfectly crisp mojitos. So yummy.

The lawn did not get mowed.
