Poll: your signature drink

jaimelody

Since we're bored here tonight, I'm working on a signature drink menu - I'm copying off of Cher and doing a something borrowed, old, new and used type thing. :)Any flavorful drink suggestions? What did you use?

cvl105

I'm not doing this but I can give you suggestions for drinks...as I like to drink! ;o) My favorite is a vodka tonic, but that of course isn't very fun. Vodka collins...MMmmm it's Vodka and sour mix, kinda like a yellow color I think. For the something blue drink, obviously do something with blue mix. ok i know, duh.

I dont know how it plays into your theme but my new favorite drink is champagne with a strawberry. I dont really drink and went a wedding a few weeks ago where this was served and had a few glasses. It was really yummy. For blue the easy answer is anything with blue curacao (sp?) but I think I would try to get a blueberry martini or something like that.

I love Tom Collins actually, but they give me ogeda. Blue - Blue Hawaiian, but not sure that fits. I'm a retired bartender, I'm trying to give it my best shot here.

jaimelody

Thanks Cher, I'm kind of just copying off your bio - but using my "event colors" if you will. Would a tom collins be considered an "older" drink? maybe my something old? Why does it give you ogeda?

cvl105

what's ogeda?

jaimelody

Although - I will remember to give you credit for the idea even though I'm copying!

jaimelody

I think it means nervous... but now I'm thinking I'm wrong.

this is what i'm doing: something old: either an Old Fashioned or Manhattan something new: Caramel Apple Martini something borrowed: a Screwdriver something blue: Blue Hawaii

JeannineG122

I would consider it "older", the acid in the sour mix gives me ogeda. When I see some of my older aunts drink, I think Manhattans, Side Cars, Whiskey Sours.

I've got your something blue -- it's called a glow-tini and it's actually a "less strong" martini with a blue glow cube.  It's actually something they serve in Disney and we got the recipe from them last time we were there, so let me know if you are interested.[img]http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr228/mscutieri/electricmargarita2.jpg[/img][img]http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr228/mscutieri/elecricmargarita.jpg[/img]

instead of a traditional champagne toast, we did a guinness toast since we're both Irish.  However for the non-beer drinkers, we also had a Peach Bellini option.  Our venue offered both the Peach Bellini and Guinness as our specialty drinks

My favorite mixed drink is Malibu Bay Breeze (cranberry juice, pineapple juice and Malibu coconut rum). Runner-up is a cranberry vodka ("Cape Cod-er," I've heard some people call it). FI would probably choose a Jack and Coke, if he was drinking something other than beer.

JeannineG122

lol, it's an Italian saying for heart burn sort of.

FutureMrsF111

ogeda-although I think I would spell it ahgeda...is yiddush for nervous or anxious and uncomfortable.

cher1980

ogeda  like making your belly feel weird..and crazy...thanks jaime!Now - are you renaming your drinks?LIke our Something new was the Matias Mojitowe are the new couple - so its our drink (our fave drink anyway)

JeannineG122

or yes, nervous.. I say it sometimes when my nephew is driving me nuts.

cvl105

MMMMMMmmmmmmm Peach Bellini....I second that.  I actually think I need to remember that I want to drink some of these at my own wedding. I have yet to decide what will be my drink of choice at my own wedding. ;o)

jaimelody

I saw that. That's adorable. But our last name will be Hitt. I'm not sure I can think of something that'll be as cheery as Mathias Martini. That's cute.

jaimelody

Oops. I guess I can't totally read it off your bio. Matias Mojito lol.

cvl105

Do you have fav drinks? I'll think of something for you haha Hawaiin Hitt - something pineapple flavored...pineapple and vodka or something...or pineapple and malibu. Heavenly Hitt Happy Hitt

We had two- mint basil lemonade, strawberry basil lemonade. Our guests loved thm...was perfect for the end of the summer.

jaimelody

Mishie, I don't want to do the light up one bc then I have to get the light up ice cubes. Our venue is putting a strawberry in each of the champagne glasses for the toast.

cher1980

Hitt me w/ your best shot! hahaha  like the songok i triedum...Hitt ...? ummm im thinking!

jaimelody

HAHA chels! That's going to be my "new" I like the Happy Hitt. haaa so cute. TY!

jaimelody

FI's a beer drinker and I mostly drink white wine or malibu and orange juice.

cvl105

I think Malibu and Orange juice sounds like a "Happy Hitt" to me!

cher1980

love it chels!!!  i agree!

jaimelody

Rum Rusher - mango, pineapple, and coconut rum with oj and grenadine = my "Happy Hitt" lol. I think that's cute. Now I just need a something borrowed. I'm going to put at the bottom "Hitt me with your best shot"Thanks for the help ladies.

We're having a signature drink, just not sure yet, so I'm not much help. I think we were just gonna do two different one's. One is going to be a martini and named after our last name. We're thinking of some kind of chocolate martini.
