I'd rather have a couple puffs of some awesome homegrown herb, relax, and feel awesome the rest of the night and the next morning.

...feel awesome
ALL DAY.
My favorite drink is the cider I make from my own apples and yeast... no sugar, no other additives; apple juice and yeast, that's it. Man, the mouth-feel is NOTHING like the "cider" you get at the store.
Gin martinis are my go-to, usually. I enjoy a "Horse's Neck" with a good whiskey, too. Ginger Ale, Whisky, twist of lemon.
My signature ****tail when I was bartending was a 3-shot combo called "Two in the pink, one in the stink".
The first two shots are half/half Sambuca and X-Rated. The third shot is the pourer's discretion, it just has to be brown. I tend to make it look sh¡tty nasty but a nice surprise, something like Bailey's and Frangelico loosely mingled in the shot glass to look extra "stinky". Perhaps a thin layer of whisky to punch the "sniffers" in the nose when they try to figure out what's in there. The fear factor of "one in the stink" is fun to play up, but if you want to actually be dirty about it, brandy/Kahlua is a terrible flavor contrast to the sweetness of the first two shots.
But, it's a special occasion binge deal, so I abridged it to a ****tail version: "Two in the pink". In a double glass with rocks: two cherries on the bottom, one shot Sambuca, one shot X-rated, fill with soda. When poured correctly, the pink layer is suspended.
From what I've read, chicks get turned on by anise, and this ****tail has always been "a win" with any ladies I've served it to. It's awesome in the summer as a large-batch patio punch, too. You have to pre-soak the cherries in everclear, though, otherwise ho's will snack on them like a meal.
Sheeeyit... I have too many favorites to list, really.
:nervous:
I'm from the land of the Brandy Old Fashioned, so I would be remiss if I didn't give some props there, too.
