Favorite mixed drink

For you amateur/professional bartenders out there, what is your favorite mixed drink you like to make yourself?
For example mine is an Acapulco
1 part tequila
1 part dark aged rum
I part triple sec
Garnish with a lime

This, which I thought I had invented till I discovered Hemingway got there before me...

I use Pernod instead of absinthe, though.

Generally I like whiskey but here is a fun one

Gazpacho:

2 parts gin
1 part st germain
Juice from roughly 1/4 lemon
3-5 drops of Siracha to taste

Shake with ice, strain, pour over ice.

Bloody Mary

Or

Scotch

But I have experimented with
Red bull with bulleit rye, it does the trick if you are looking to keep up in the late hours.

Vodka mixed with monster you can drink tons of it and not taste the alcohol, but 3 weekends ago I swore off alcohol after waking up the next morning not knowing where I was or remembering the night! Lol

I like trying different Gin's with tonic. I also find that the tonics vary considerably (Fever Tree, Fentimans, 1724 etc)

Not my fav, but give this a try: 3 part vodka, fill rest of glass with ice/ diet mt dew, and then add a squirt of orange Mio (water flavorer).

Tastes just like a creamsicle.

Three measures of Gordon's
one of vodka
half a measure of Kina Lillet

(Shake it very well until it's ice-cold,
then add a large thin slice of lemon peel).

Got it?

Summer...orange vodka with tonic.

Colder months...Glennfiddich on the rocks with a splash of water.

If I'm somewhere where they make a good Bloody Mary, I'm in.

Guess not(The "got it?" is a direct quote from the Casino Royale book, but left out of
the movie script).

Mostly wine/beer myself.. and even then not too often. Very rarely I'll have a gin and tonic (once or twice a year?).. or a scotch or whiskey. I used to like Long Island iced teas when I was younger but haven't had one of those in a long time.

I'm not much of a Martini drinker, but I was on a few cruises on Princess, and they make one called "Chairman of the Board".

Chairman of the Board. I think the Cointreau cuts it just enough to be tasty:

3 parts Grey Goose Vodka
3 parts Bombay Sapphire Gin
1 part Cointreau
Chilled over ice and strained
Garnished with 3 plump olives (or a twist)
