My favourite cocktails really depend on where I am Vacationing.

Here’s my list so far (each new place I vacation to could expand this list)

Hawaii — Mai Tai
Mexico — Pina Colada
Italy — Expresso with a dash of chocolate Brandy
Continental US — Irish Coffee
Not a cocktail, but Bud light lime will do as well.
Philippines — Mango Sunrise
Japan — Sake.

When I’m not sure, just give me a nice rum and coke.

Whenever or wherever I land, I alway christen the holiday with a drink.

So, what’s your favourite cocktail? Hey, if you have a recipe of your favourite cocktail, that’s awesome.

If I'm going exotic it's a Tequila Sunrise. It's a drink my wife & I enjoyed when we were dating way back when. But, my go to cocktail is a Highball. Although whenever I run into a new to me bartender I have to explain to them how to make it, which is extremely simple: Ginger Ale & Whiskey.
 
Not much of a liquor drinker, but DW and I will enjoy a proper margarita in Mexico, or a Mai Tai in Hawaii. At home she will have an occasional glass of white wine and I prefer a local IPA.
 
Depends. At home, Gentleman Jack & Coke. If dining out, I like an Old Fashioned.

Mai Tai in Hawaii, blended Margarita with Mexican food, gin & tonic with other dining. I hate when Cliff gets a martini in a Mexican restaurant, just doesn't fit IMHO.
 
My favorite alcoholic drink is anything that is of such high quality that it can be consumed straight up.

20 year single malt scotch straight up huh? Oh yeah!

At home I usually enjoy a good German style beer or a glass of wine. Occasionally, a hot summer day calls for a gin and tonic. But on vacation in St Martin, pina coladas are almost a daily treat!
 
My stomach doesn't tolerate alcohol much anymore so I have only one but with very good alcohol (very picky). I cannot drink wine anymore because of the sulfites. Sometimes I have my skinny margarita without the alcohol. None of that fruity, slushy stuff.

Rio - caipirinhas (made with Brazilian cachaca)
multiple locations in U.S. Mexico home - blood orange skinny margarita with 100% pure agave Silver Patron
NYC - vodka collins, or mojito
Hawaii - Mai Tai (must drink while watching a sunset, must have an umbrella, and slice of pineapple)
Germany/Switzerland - Pils
Asia - local beer

Summer- Margaritas
Winter- White Russians or Irish Cream
Anytime- white wine

I also love specialty martinis if I can get them.

It doesn’t matter where I am when I drink them. It’s the weather that determines it. Not that I haven’t had White Russians in the summer. Just go by how I feel.

Since you are in a colder part of the US, you should try this on a cold day and perhaps snuggled up to a warm fireplace.

Make one cup of Hot Chocolate, mix, and add 1/4 of the cup with Irish Creme....yummy.

My tastes vary and sometimes during different times of the year. During the summer I enjoy a nice gin and tonic but sometimes a nice cold beer. My go to beer is nothing fancy just a regular Miller. I do like a Longboard or a Big Wave here in Hawaii.
I really like Mai Tai’s but I was drinking a few Lava Flows here when the weather was really warm. Otherwise just give me a Jack Daniels and water.
 
Before noon - Bloody Mary
Fine dining - Dirty Grey Goose martini with blue cheese stuffed olives followed by good Italian red wine
Other - craft beer or Makers & Coke
 
In summer or in the Caribbean, a cold beer (although not really a cocktail) or a Margarita. In winter a Bloody Caesar or a Manhattan (with Crown Royal, not bourbon). My wife prefers a Gin and Tonic. We are certainly not restricted to those, but those are the cocktails we gravitate to most often.
 
I haven't had a drink in 4 or 5 years now but back in my (heavy) drinking days I used to like closing out my night with a Stinger or two. After a meal I liked to nurse a couple shots of Drambuie...

Rarely drink but when I do, I like a good Cosmopolitan or Lemondrop.
 
I can’t do fruit cocktails anymore. Plus I need to watch my girlish figure since I am Mom, nanny, playmate, referee to my broad of 5.....So Bloody Mary, esp spicy, or whiskey/scotch on the rocks. I only drink red wine at nice date night dinners.
 
I used to like the occasional Irish coffee or other coffe drink after a nice restaurant meal. Have pretty much given it up unless the occasion is so festive it cries out for one AND it doesn't matter if I don't sleep based on what we have planned for the next day. I'd say easily 2/3 of coffee drinks are made with real coffee no matter how much you beg and plead PLEASE make my drink with decaf. I can't even have a cup of regular at 8am -- I won't sleep that night. I also have to limit myself to one cup of decaf when we play cards at night -- there is just enough residual caffeine that two cups of decaf bother me at night.
