Have not drowned, have not been drinking, unfortunately. I'd like to do both. What is the credited rye to order in your Manhattan?

Bummer. Sazerac Rye is one of the better cocktail ryes. On a special occasion I'd do Whistlepig. Any drink with red vermouth is good in my book, though.

Edit: Bee, are you drinking flat champagne? That's...not okay.
Manhattans are the shit. My favorite bar makes a smoky manhattan that substitutes the rye with Laphroaig and it's quite beautiful. As someone who loves the Islay malts (although not a huge fan of Laphroaig by itself), it's definitely my favorite cocktail.

I've heard of this drink, but it seems sacrilegious. I don't think I could pay for that. I love smoky/peaty scotch like Laph.

Tea, dry vermouth is CR, too. I just really like red vermouth in negronis/manhattans.

I only ever order Perfect Manhattans because it was the first "real" cocktail I ever tried and it is wonderful. I'm quickly learning that some places can't make them properly.

Taking suggestions for a new drink plz

Moscow Mule. Refreshing goodness in a drank.

When I drink cocktails I only really go for the Manhattan, but you're right that you have to be careful where you order it from. Especially here in Beijing. I once ordered a long island and they ran out of Coke. Without saying anything, they decided to substitute it with Sprite. That was not a nice experience.

Otherwise, I'm more of a straight whiskey person (Lagavulin 16 if I feel like being classy or Makers if it's a regular night). If I'm at dinner, then I'll go with wine (Malbec being my favorite) or beer (IPAs or Belgian triples).

Unfortunately I can't help you with other cocktails.

You sound like a good drinking buddy.

Thanks, drinking is one of the few things I do well

ETA: Have you ever tried tequila with Squirt soda? If not you should. It's a staple at MA social gatherings.

how was new years?

Tea, just make your own sophisticated drink and own it. Maybe 2 parts bourbon, 1 part dry vermouth, 1 part campari (I think that's a dry boulevardier or w/e).

First would like to wish everyone a happy new year since this is my first post of 2014 and second:

I will take a moment to say this was, in fact, a fantastic moment of television.
