Prompted by the fact that we have not had a cocktail thread for far too long and by a really good polish martini: I want to know what cocktail represents your town.

the Manhattan! duh.

(actually, probably the Cosmo.)

beer and clamato, not much of a cocktail, not much of a town

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Not a cocktail at all, but Richmond is a city of contradictions.

Austin, Texas: The Mexican Martini

A gut-busting whallop of tequila, vodka, and the good lord knows what else, served in a large shaker with a chilled martini glass. Exclusively at Trudy's Texas star. A must.

You can even play a little game: The Trudy's challenge.

Seeing as I live in Kentucky, you'd think it would be something with bourbon or moonshine. However, Lexington doesn't feel like a bourbon or moonshine town, it's more like a keg-of-Sierra-Nevada town.

yeah that's right, Louisville representz the MINT JULEP action, beyotch.

Initially I think "LA = Appletini", but I think one of y'all could do better.

LA = any cocktail mixed with cocaine?

― hstencil, Monday, 12 May 2003 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

a coketail?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Lexington needs its own drink; I'm thinking something with, like, bourbon (for the hillibillies), tequila (for the students), bombay gin (for the hoity-toities), and wheat-grass juice (for the hippies). What could we name it? Oh, I know!...

bartender: welcome to Lexington, KY, what'll you have?
patron: I'll have one of those PUKE TIL I BLEED FROM MY MOUTHs please

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Crown Royal & Coke

LA:

Larry Levy: I'll be there right after my AA meeting.
Griffin Mill: Oh Larry, I didn't realise you had a drinking problem.
Larry Levy: Well I don't really, but that's where all the deals are being made these days.

I'd like to say that Ormskirk is defined by one of my own infinitely tasteful creations behind my bar, but sadly a mixture of Blue WKD and Port ("It tastes like fookin' vimto, mate") would be more apt.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe the LA Lemonade margarita from the Sonora Cafe...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

JC: the gummy bear martini?

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

y'know what, nothing here has yet to compare to the Beer&Clam I mentioned above.
Yes! My town rocks!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

The margarita.

There's even a city-wide competition to judge the city's best margarita, which is a giant source of pride for many bars & restaurants should they get that honor.

It's all over the place.

There's been a lot of white Russians moving to Cleveland within the past couple of years so in their honor I'll say the 7 and 7.

dallas, a texas city that wants to be New York City but comes off more like Phoenix or Atlanta: the Mambo Taxi @ Mi Cocina, a fun, potent, tasty and tacky swirl of frozen margarita & sangria, dispensed from a machine, yours for $8.00

― Aaron A., Monday, 12 May 2003 20:03 (twenty-two years ago)

If it counts as a cocktail, frozen daiquiris in forty flavors. And also hurricanes.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

cocktails are for wusses

here - arake=katikali=ouzo=moonshine
to be found in lovely flavors like milk, coffee or garlic
(actually they're all great, am now inspired to go have some tomorrow)

― H (Heruy), Monday, 12 May 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

whiskey striaght

The entire Pacific NW is this giant rhizomic pasture of microbreweries, complete with seasons and pictures of pretty mountains. What's a cocktail?

― chester (synkro), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

The only (disgusting) answer I can come up with for Melbourne is this thing thats not really a cocktail - its a new drink made by Carlton (hence being very Melbourne) thats a mix of Carlton Cold beer and ... wait for it ... vodka.

Somehow I like to think it captures the clash of westie workingclass footy fan and inner urban hipster that is Melbourne in a nutshell :)

And, it sounds revolting.

I'd post a piccy or ad for it, but I can't find one. Its called Cold Shot in any case...

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

cocksucking cowboy or quick fuck, probably

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

eww Cold Shot, i'd rather drink turpentine

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

nothing wrong with turpentine

― Matt (Matt), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

it's no antifreeze, but desperate times and all that..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Milwaukee: Scotch and soda. Moscow Mules for the old men. Blatz for everyone.

― kirsten (kirsten), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Costa Mesa's cocktail...er, lemme go down to the Kitsch Bar or something and I'll let you know.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Jim, you know you should never mix your drinks! ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a kiwifruit-infused vodka that the Sunday paper colour supplements keep wanking on about but apparently you can only buy it duty-free at grossly inflated prices.

This city's full of STD-riddled uni student brats so it'd be either horrible premix alcopops laced with whatever daterape drug is big this week, or Kristov vodka-flavoured generic alcoholic beverage (2/3 'vodka' 1/3 extra water, plastic bottle), diluted with enough cheap soft drink to disguise the synthesised potato taste.

That, or epoxy resin in a supermarket bag.
