I work at a bar that serves no long islands or variations on the long island. It keeps the pukers and the kids out, I like the policy. There is a laundry list of other stuff we don't serve, like energy drink's and apple pucker all based on the same theory.

We serve huge pores, but not pours of kiddy shit.

Personally I'd probably drink the Jamesons neat, with a beer back. I like the Hendrix, at it's price it's an excellent gin.

The "Campground"

served in a pint glass

4 count of gin

half soda

half grapefruit juice

float of campari

orange slice for garnish

It's a nice summery drink, people love em. Don't know what the weather was like in your neck of the woods, but it was almost 90 here today. Use tequila for gin and you have a camp slut.

Negroni's are nice with hendrix, keep the summer going. equal parts of each booze served in a rocks glass with orange slice garnish, shake it if you like.

Gin

Sweet Vermouth

Campari

For some reason Old Fashions are selling like mad, nice drink but you really want to use a rye whiskey.

Actually looking at your booze selection I'd probably make myself a Rusty Nail. Equal parts Drambuie and Scotch on ice, it's one of my favorite drinks, unfortunately you don't see much Drambuie now a days.

If you get shitty and really want to have some fun try this ecib classic, The Three Amigos. serve in three separate shot glasses.

1 half shot of lime jucie

1 shot of tequila

1 shot of tomato or V8

1. take a sip of the lime juice and hold it in your mouth.

2. Drink the tequila shot down with the lime juice.

3. Chase with tomato or V8.

4. Party.

It's a sick fun drink, the quality of the tequila really doesn't matter.
