Trying to decide on a first-episode drink to catch some feedback. At the moment I'm torn between the first drink I started mixing, being a Gimlet; or a very tasty drink recipe I picked up at an Irish Pub called a 4-Leaf Clover.

I'd like to avoid cliched cocktails like a martini until I've got a routine for the project. Any suggestions?

1 part Vodka

That seems backwards.

Take 1 part scotch.

Show it to a picture of an ice cube.

Consume.

Steven Steve spewed forth this undeniable truth:
You guys are all pretty much describing exactly the way I drink

It's because mixing your choice spirits with anything that dilutes it makes you a lesser man or lesser woman. Not because you're unable handle it(wussies,) but because you're pretty much ruining it. The same thing applies to drinking liqueurs.

You are only doing what is right, Steve.

Ingredients:
White Rum
Peach Schnapps
Orange Juice
Lots o' ice

You can use whatever size glass you like, but the golden ratio for the liquids in the drink seems to be 1.5:1:3. Panties will be dropping, my friends.

Ever since i made it into Pharmacy school, i picked up cocktail mixing as a way to relax from some of the stress. My current drink of choice is an Electric Lemonade

Electric Lemonade:
1.5 oz Vodka
1.5 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
Fill with sprite
0.5 oz Blue Curacao

Fill a glass with 3-4 cubes of ice. Add vodka, then sour mix. Fill with Sprite, then top with blue curacao to give it a blue color. Stir lightly and serve.
