We go out alot and we like to try some different things from time to time. Below are a few of the drinks and shots that we have sampled over the years. However it's hard to find a list of average drinks that most people enjoy at bars. Yeah we know some people like those exotic drinks but you need to know the basic drinks to be a true drinker. In fact we have a general rule that you need to be on a beach to drink any drink that requires a blender. So below you will find a list of a couple good drinks and shot that every man should know. If you know of a good drink or shot we have missed let us know at LessIceMoreBooze@liquorwits.com

Captain & Coke - Captain Morgans spiced rum mixed with cold Coca Cola. One of our all time favorite drinks. The only thing better is Private Stock Captain with coke. It's a little more expensive but you can't put a price on class now can you?

Rum & Coke - While we prefer Captain Morgans, there are a few other substitutes that can be more economical. Salior Jerry and Admiral Nelson are both cheaper versions of the Captain that can still take care of business. If it is a clear rum that you are looking for then go for either Appleton or Baccardi.As with all good Liquors at some point in your life you must travel to its "Mecca" for Rum it is Jamaica, it's a fun country I got offered weed between the airport and getting on the shuttle!

Jack & Coke - Jack Daniels and Coke, the ratio is up to you, we tend to lean towards the Jack side most of the time, its more fun.

Seven & Seven - Seagram Seven mixed with Seven-Up or Sprite. A nice light drink good for cleansing the palate. To avoid superstitions this drink must be consumed in 7's. This is why we don't drink 99 Bananas anymore, rest in piece M.J.

Long Island Iced Tea - Vodka, Rum, Gin, Tequila, Triple Sec, and Cola. Perhaps the only good thing to come out of Long Island. A little sour sometimes, but goes down smoother than our old roomate's sister.

Monkeyboys - Similar to a Long Island Pitcher, but with Schnapps replacing the cola, these potent bastards ensure a good time. Monkeyboys are exclusive to the Saloon in State College, Pa. They are a deadly little animal that can leave you in the gutter the next morning. We recomend killing no more that 3 a night.

Margarita - Tequila, Triple Sec, and Sweet & Sour Mix or Lime Juice. The ultimate beach drink! Not to mention cheap, around here you can get a huge one for 5 bucks. The only thing is, Tequila is the problem child of alcohols. It's good by itself but once you introduce it to another liquor they have one hell of a fight.

Martini - Gin and Extra Dry Vermouth. When you want to fake sophistication this is what you order. Beaware this drink tends to attract high maintence women that only want you for your money. Since you probably don't have much we recommend not keeping them around for long.

Irish Coffee - Irish Whiskey, Hot Coffee, Sugar, and Cream. Leave it to the drinking champs of the world to come up with this breakfast for the alcoholic on the run. Unfortunalty Starbuck still refuses to serve this delightful beverage, despite our 3 year boycott.

Screwdriver - Vodka and Orange Juice. The only time a screwdriver can get you hammered. These are also acceptable as a breakfast cocktail because everyone will think you're just having some orange juice with your toast.

Bacardi Razz and 7Up - A good pregame drink but not a first string drink. Leave this one for the girls your hitting on.

Cranberry and Vodka - While I am not a fan of pink drinks, this is the lone exception. It a unique mixture that has a different type of drunk feel to it. If there truely was a liquid courage then this is it. I would place a two pitcher limit on this one.

Sex on the Beach - Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry Juice and Orange Juice becareful I here the sand gets every where!

Irish Carbomb - make a shot of about 3/5 bailey's irish creme and 2/5 irish whisky
~12+ oz. glass, with 7-8 oz. of guiness.
hold shot inside the glass, when ready, drop and slam. dont wait more than 10 sec to finish, or it can start to curdle. An excelent way to ring in the cheer on st. pats, or any other day your feeling a little irish sneak up on you. It's the only alcoholic way to drink chocholate milk and not chunk it up. Honestly I don't think it tastes much like chocholate milk.

Whisky Sour - 2 shots whiskey, 1/2 tsp powdered sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Put in a bullet with some ice and shake it up. Pretty good.... if you would like a glass of it... multiply by four...If you would like to take it like a man lose the sugar and lemon and multiply by 6

Boilermaker - shot of whiskey, drop into a glass of beer, later in the night try it the other way around.

Captain and Sprite - If I really have to tell you how to make this I think you need to stop drinking so much, it basically tastes like a cream soda

Buttery Nipple - Baileys Irish Cream and Buterscotch Schnapps. Tastes as good as it sounds, also a good ice breaker with the ladies.

Dirty Girlscout - Creme de Menth, Baileys, and Gadiva Chocolate Liquore. Unlike a real dirty girlscout, this minty drink won't land you in jail on statutory charges, or with an itch.

Jim Morrison - Root Beer Schnapps and Jagermeister. No offense to this great rock legend, but when I get a drink named after me someday I hope it's better than schnapps and Jager.

Jagers Bomb - Red Bull and Jagermeister. Drop a shot of Jager into a half glass of Red Bull and pound it. Tastes like those chewable Flinstone vitamins we used to have as kids, seriously just think about it how much more fun morning recess would have been if we would have had a couple of these instead.

Lemon Drop - Vodka, Lemon Juice, and a sugar cube. Sour going down, but even worse coming back up.

Chocolate Cake - Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur, Absolut Citron, and a lemon wedge. Supposed to taste like cake, but watch out for the aftertaste.

Jose Cuervo Tequila - Warning, don't drink straight tequila within five miles of a marraige chapel, or you will regret it in the morning.

Red Headed Slut - Peach Schanpps, Jagermeister, and Cranberry Juice. Like most Red Headed Sluts it goes down real easy.

Three Wisemen - Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and Jose Cuervo Especial all together in one brutal shot! After you meet with them 3 or 4 times in a short periods you will learn a valuable life lesson

Four Horsemen - Similar to the 3 Wisemen but with an added ass-whuppin of Yukon Jack in the shot. Totals out to be Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Jose Cuervo, and Yukon Jack. Becareful with this one, it's harsh but a right of passage.

Rummy Bears - You guessed it, Gummy Bears soaked thoroughly in Rum. Satify your late night cravings and alcoholic inhibitions all at one time.

Irish Cereal - Your favorite choice of cereal with whatever alcohol you have lying around because you ran out of milk and are too damn lazy to go to the store. We recommend a light schnapps, because it is the morning after all.

Jello Shots Bill Cosby would be so proud. Just mix the alcohol of your choice in with the jello, chill and get fucked up.

Drill Sargents Promise: Not a drink but a series of drinks a drill sargent promised could get anyone laid... 2 rum and cokes and a shot of nightquill..I haven't tried this one yet mainly because I am afraid of what I will wake up with and a hangover is the least of my worries
