What's the 'best' alcohol to drink if wine is out? page 2

Mark breaks it down pretty nicely here:

I seem to be quite sensitive to wheat. In fact, it appears that grain-based (as opposed to potato-based) vodkas have a negative impact on me. I would have thought that the distilling process would be enough to remove any trace of the wheat origins, but apparently not. Cheaper vodkas are going to be grain-based. Your mileage may vary...

My two drinks are Scotch on the rocks and martinis (gin martini not a fu fu appletini or something like that)

Don't know if you can find this in a club, maybe a nicer one.

Shot of (please get top shelf, Anejo preferred) tequila
large splash fresh lime juice (or lemon)
fill glass with club soda
top off with about a tablespoon of CHOPPED GINGER (even better is to put a nob through the garlic press!)


Srsly. Then tip the bartender. Alot! And if he's cute, take him home. Or if she's cute for that matter. What are you doing in a bar anyway????!!

Oh- vodka & cucumber!

Vodka + quartered slices of cucumber shaken hard with ice and strained on the rocks. Maybe add some mint as well.

Good luck getting it in a club though...

Jack Daniels straight up. Zero sugar, zero carbs. Beautiful. I usually have a couple of ozs. a day. Its good for you!

I'd say vodka and tequila... That's what I've heard - I'm a non-drinker

My friend makes a similar drink with cayenne pepper and ginger, but with gin instead of tequila… she claims she never feels hungover as a result…

She just said it’s…

- ginger pepper simple syrup (so minced ginger and pepper with some sugar water)
- tonic water (so uh, more sugar) I suppose soda could work since you already have a simple syrup, OR tonic but skip the simple syrup.
- gin
- dash of cayenne pepper

Not so primal but sounds delicious.

Give it up and drink plain water.

ZERO alcohol is the only acceptable amount.

Don't you know alcohol causes liver damage ? ? ? ?
