Nothing girly about a White Russian.

Cream and Coffee liqueur? Seems girly to me. Not that there's anything wrong with girly. Just be nice to have some options that were less directly sweet.

A proper White Russian is superb, a real grown up cocktail. Still prefer a Bloody Mary though.

You have what you like darlin'.

Love a Long Island Ice Tea and at Christmas a Christmas cocktail of Vodka, Cranberry and Chambord. Other than that I don't really drink cocktails as they get me bladdered.

The Waldorf Salad episode:

Guest: "I'll have a scotch and water and a screwdriver"
Basil: "A screwdriver? Is it something I can put right"?
Guest: "No, make that two screwdrivers"
Basil: "So a scotch and water and you both need a screwdriver?"

There is something of a modern fashion for inventing sweet cocktails, inevitably vodka and fruit juice-based, targeted at parties of women out on the lash. The 'Cosmo' is a good example. <shudder>

However, most of the classics (and I'm talking primarily gin, whiskey, brandy or tequila-based cocktails) should be well-balanced, sharp but not sour. The Tom Collins is a good example; fresh lemon juice provides acidity and sharpness, tempered with the simple syrup. Old Tom is a slightly sweeter, 18th Century-style gin so there's no need for much sugar and the drink is topped up with soda water.

That is rather an odd selection. They seem almost like alcoholic desserts. At a restaurant, I would expect there to be more cocktails that are suitable as aperitifs - Americano, Martini, Manhattan Negroni, G&T etc. I agree, though, prices are reasonable.

I love a good gin bramble or margarita, but will usually try more unusual ones when I'm out. I avoid anything creamy or sickly sweet though.
