Before he moved back to Milwaukee, a friend of mine who is very much into Bond and I used to drink Vespers rather often (usually about 10-15 of us would go and hit the bar for one of them, then off to the premere of the newest Bond movie) and they are quite good. I seem to recall that we used Lillet Blanc plus a drop or two of Angustura Bitters, as this was considered an acceptable substitute and something that you would find available at a bar. Gin was usually Boodle's and Vodka was Belvedere.

I did read about Lillet Blanc, but it lacked the bitterness of the kina lillet. I had also read about bittering it up with quinine. That Angustora bitters idea seems logical. I may try that too. Thanks for the recommendation!

Jameson may be whiskey, but it's as Scottish as tequila. :D

Manly cocktails or not, I like:

Martini (with gin of course!)
Scotch (neat)
Bourbon (neat or with an ice cube)
Tequila (chilled)
Rum (neat or with an ice cube)

I'm all full of mistakes today. I meant Irish whiskey. Maybe I'm a little more hung over than I thought :rolleyes:

To make the beer drinkers feel better, I just wanted to point out that neat drinks or (name your favorite brand of liquor) on the rocks aren't cocktails either.

I agree. A cocktail is 2 or more ingredients. That's why I said "or not". :)

An "extra dry Martini" without any vermouth isn't a cocktail either. For that matter it isn't a Martini. It's gin (or vodka).
