It’s the cocktail goal.
There’s something about always being the girl to order a Jack and Coke at the bar when she goes dancing by herself that is a little uncomfortable. It’s just not ladylike. (Stop laughing!)
So, I decided to learn more about what I like and what I don’t like in terms of drinks (or dranks as my one time neighbor called them).
Through this project, I learned that I’m not really a fan of vodka, but gin makes me downright happy. I like drinks that can be described as “refreshing” when all this time I thought I liked “sweet” and “fruity” drinks. Who knew?
My favorite drink of the 31 is the simple Gin Rickey. Just seeing the words tempts me to go make one.

I was mostly using a few books (The Daily Cocktail, Playboy Bartender’s Guide, Cocktail Basics, Old Mr. Boston DeLuxe Official Bartender’s Guide and The Bartender’s Guide) to figure out what I was going to make. But, sometimes, I did break down and consult the web. Other times, I used a Mixology iPhone app.
