I’m not a huge drinker (I’m one of those Asians that can’t drink to save his life) but when I need a good stiff drink, I go to get a sidecar at Angel’s Share off of St. Mark’s Place. Bracingly strong, old school classy, and impeccably prepared. ‘Nuff said.

Clearly, I’m a ginger girl. The Jamaican Firefly at Flatiron Lounge gets my vote. But in the same vein and very nearly tied for first is the Ginger Smash at Employees Only.

The margarita made by bartender Daniel at Mexico Lindo. Cazadores tequila, Patron Citron, and a fresh lime in every glass… Mmmm…

My favorite drink is the Smoked Olive Martini at R.U.B. I wish I could have said that a cocktail at one of the important chef or stylish restaurants in the City was my favorite (as that is my favorite kind of food and restaurant). Alas R.U.B. is ultra casual and fun but that cocktail stands out as flavorful, rich, elegant, and interesting-and not (which would be the kiss of death for me) sweet.

If non-alcoholic drinks count, my fave is definitely the Frozen Virgin Mojito at Bite, the little outdoor stand at that pointy corner where Lafayette and Mulberry streets meet. Tons of fresh mint, fresh lime juice, sugar and ice, tossed in a blender. Divine!!

I’m a big fan of the bloody marys at Esperanto on 9th and C. They’re a great way to spice up my favorite $10 brunch.

scotch. straight up. texas style.

My favortie is the infused cucumber gin and soda from Mama’s Bar…the cuke cuts the juniper berry case, and totally compliments it. It’s the refreshing foray into summer that I’m needing right now!

Champagne!

ok. i had too many to remember the name, but these lemonade-tasting drinks at employees only are amazing. mmmmmm

You already know my absolute favorite, Angel Share’s “Groovy”, but other noteworthy cocktails I’ve enjoyed recently include: Gramercy Tavern’s “Gin – Ger & Tonic”, The Harrison’s “Elderflower Spritzer” and the “Spritz” at Employees Only.

nothing beats a leisurely afternoon at brooklyn brewery. anything that you drink there is enhanced by the roasty, yeasty and hoppy aromas wafting through the air.

classics rule: I love a latte with skim with any sandwich from wich’craft

My faves are seasonal – a dirty martini in the fall/winter and a dark and stormy – or a mojito! – in the spring/summer. Still exploring to find my favorite locale.

My favoirate drink is “Dirty Jane” at Jane..it’s a very dirty martini, made with home made pickled green tomatoes..yumm..I always ask for extra pickled green tomatoes as garnish

an Old Fashioned at Temple Bar

Frozen limoncello at Palma (especially on a spring day in their garden) or a glass of Ronnybrook milk with hot chocolate chip cookies at Milk and Cookies

Non-Alcoholic: Definitely the Eighties Milkshake at Max Brenner (thick milkshake made with vanilla cream and a floating scoop of ice cream covered with crunchy chocolate).... yummmm!
Alcoholic: Fraise Sauvage at Employees Only (Plymouth Gin, Wild Strawberries, Tahitian Vanilla & Fresh Lemon Juice, topped off with Mumm Joyesse Demi-Sec Champagne ).

The Tamarind Margarita at Tabla is my favorite. It has a hint of lime like margaritas should but also a fantastic bitter, tartness, salty flavor. It’s an amuse bouche in a martini glass.

I love the strawberry sangria at Bar Carrera…refreshing every time.
Posted by Sabena • 18 May 2007, 08:33
i’m going to keep it classic…
sitting outside at hudson bar and books with a tom collins. just can’t beat it.

I’m a simple gal. Grey Goose Cosmos at Trax in Penn Station.
Posted by Maggie • 18 May 2007, 08:43
So many to choose from, but I had a honeydew champagne cocktail at Babbo that was pretty amazing.
Posted by Camille • 18 May 2007, 08:44
Watching an ice-cold gin martini be poured – perfectly – from a crystal shaker at Angel’s Share… it’s as good as arriving in heaven.
Posted by Irene • 18 May 2007, 09:03
i luv the “northside special” at little branch…very refreshing with rum and fresh orange. i think it’s only available during the fall season.
“scenes in the city” at angel’s share is also super-deelish (despite the funny name).
Posted by sylvia • 18 May 2007, 09:09
I have two favorites in the city:
1) From A.O.C. Bedford: Diamond Fizz.
Gin, lemon juice, sugar and champagne. Yum!
2) From Pravda: Bohemian. Vodka & passion fruit concoction. No one can drink just one. More than two, though, can make for an interesting night!

The ginger martini at the Orchid lounge is like candy.
But, I agree that anything on tap at the Brooklyn Brewery is just perfect, and so tasty with ginger cookies [but you have to supply your own.]
Posted by Raheli • 18 May 2007, 09:59
My favorite is the bartender special at Little Branch. It’s always a surprise, and it’s always good!
Posted by Alicia • 18 May 2007, 10:38
I’ve definitely been pregnant and breastfeeding too long, because I can’t think of a single cocktail. But it has given me an excuse to enjoy many chocolate milkshakes from EJ’s Luncheonette. Mmmmm….
Posted by Alexa • 18 May 2007, 12:31
I love the Earlgrey marTEAni from Pegu club!
also, Rob from Employees Only makes a great sherry-lemonade cocktail with Stoli Ohranj.
Posted by Stephanie • 18 May 2007, 12:53
The Maury Flight at A.O.C. Bedford: 2003, 1998, 1995, and 1977. In that order and the 1977 is sure worth the wait.
Posted by Todd • 18 May 2007, 13:18
I love the bellinis at Gusto (60 Greenwich Ave). They are delicious and not too sweet.
Posted by Adrienne • 18 May 2007, 13:54
Freeman’s, freeman’s, freeman’s! their signature is great…but you can also sit in the back w/ the blonde bartender dude(tname?) and he will make ones up for you…slu-u-u-rp!
Posted by jennifer • 18 May 2007, 14:54
lychee martini’s at verlain’s…even better during happy hour
