Are you one of those people who have their very own choice of drink for any style of party or encounter? Do you like to switch your choice from party to party? Do you love or loathe one special drink? Or are you completely clueless about what you should pick for Which kind of evening? I'll help ya:
Candidate # 01 Vodka Energy
Mostly mixed with Red Bull, this super popular drink is one for the masses and fits to almost any sort of party or evening. But be warned: Drink too much, and your night will be short and your Sunday a doozy. Still, have this one around for the ladies; it somehow always motivates them to start dancing.

Candidate #02 Whisky Coke
The best for a quiet but talkative night with your best buddy or chessmate. Whatever you want to discuss, a whisky will always be appropriate, so the only remaining question is: Bourbon or Scotch? Ask me and I answer you: Scotch is the real thing, but I like it mostly because most Scotch whiskys are sweeter than the Bourbons, and I like sweet with Coke.

Candidate #03 Gin Tonic
This is one for the more desperate parties or for those who try to achieve either some sort of respect for enjoying this bitter mess of a cocktail, or a severe load of heartburn. You'll never get a girl if you serve her Gin Tonic, but you will receive a lot of praise...mostly for emptying that bottle no one wanted to empty themselves.

Candidate #04 Tequila Sunrise
This is one of my personal favorites for an evening where you are supposed to retain at least a little dignity. The Sunrise doesn't hit you home, but rather sets the mood for many enjoyable conversations and laughs. It's a yummy delight for a light atmosphere, setting a nice base for some more intimate drinks later on to heighten the excitement.

Candidate #05 Whisky Sour
A pretty perfect drink for any kind of evening, save for the dangerous fact that it's a pretty strong drink indeed! It instantly hypes you with the yummy lemon and whisky flavor, but it can damage you really bad if you don't keep an eye on yourself. But if you do, you'll easily score a nod of interest from the girls who likely want to nip...and have one for themselves.

Candidate #06 Cuba Libre
The perfect drink for a sunny sundown at the beach or anything related to the Caribbean. Also a really strong combination of strong rum, sugary coke, and heartburnin' lime. Don't take too much, or you'll suffer the consequences soon enough. Nevertheless, this is one of the more popular drinks with any sort of people, so go for it if you can.

Candidate #07 Caipirinha
A neat Caipirinha on a slow summer day is all you need to get the party rollin', but it's also a pretty decent drink for a harmless sit-in with your buddies, if you want to bring in a little island feeling. For those who don't like cachaça and love vodka instead there's always the variation Caipiroshka, which is an equally delightful mix of Caribbean taste and midnight swagger.

Candidate #08 Mojito
The Mojito is one of my less popular drinks, and I tend to avoid it wherever I can. Maybe it's just that I can't stand mint in a cocktail, but I also dislike the dry taste, just like with Gin Tonic. For some reason all the girls love it, though, so there's no harm in serving it, but if you have anything else, I'd rather opt for your alternative offers!

Candidate #09 Licor 43 & Milk
Contrary to Mojito, this one is one of my secret and guilty pleasures. A students' and girls' drink over here in Germany, its reputation doesn't really live up to its quality. The sweet vanilla milk mixture is light on alc by volume and delivers a really delightful taste. Scores easily with the girls, but be sure to choose the full-fat milk for full flavor!
Rating: ♦♦♦♦½ out of 5 ♦
Candidate #10 Razz & Sprite
This one pains me to see with only three and a half points awarded by...myself, but as much as I love this girls' drink with the totally gorgeous raspberry flavor, I admit the toll it takes on you after some drinks. The overwhelming sweetness may easily keep you from consuming too much Razz, but it's just so damn tasty – especially with Sprite. Sugarfest hooray!

I consider writing up a second part of this feature, because there are so many drinks left undiscussed yet, like the famous Cosmopolitan, the Tequila Gold vs Silver feud, the one and only Jägermeister, or the wondrous delights of absinth. And what about a stirred Martini? Or a Bloody Mary in the morning? So much undiscussed yet, so we'll see!
