It’s the cocktail goal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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!)<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

My favorite drink of the 31 is the simple Gin Rickey. Just seeing the words tempts me to go make one.<\/p>\n

Time In A Bottle \u00a029. Chocolate Martini 30. Female Cadet 31. Midori Sour<\/a><\/p>\n

I was mostly using a few books (The Daily Cocktail<\/a>, Playboy Bartender’s Guide<\/a>, Cocktail Basics<\/a>, Old Mr. Boston DeLuxe Official Bartender’s Guide<\/a> and The Bartender’s Guide<\/a>) 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<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
