Hickory daiquiri, just because the name is funny.
serious, the best way to impress re: drinks is to know how to make one.
I even came up with several myself, and used to offer guest a free one if they could offer a good name for it, so i now have the recipe for Bronx's, Queens, and Ellis island iced coffee (there was a table of new yorkers in one night)
Maybe a way to get her back to your place for a tasting session?

Fun thread but there is absolutely no reason you should be "impressing" a girl with your drink order.

Right, I wasn't saying it like that.

In a round about way, the goal of a pickup if for a girl to be impressed by you in some way, but for you not to come off as trying.

Even if you're using self-deprecating humor, and conveying that you aren't outcome dependent, the aim of that behavior is to be impressive in some way. It's basically just a way of wording it.

You want to show that you have a deep pocket or that you know a thing or two about alcohols?

Whiskey? no cola (killing the taste and aroma) and no ice (the less ice the better - more liquid) JW Black always does the trick

Vodka? in EE its a basic drink, but if it isn't Belvedere or Black Smirnoff you won't impress anyone ordering it

What girls like is Mojito, Malibu, Sour - the sweeter the better

If you want to impress a girl, order her a water shot.

A powerful drink for chicks, if I pick the drink, is a double vodka gimlet. It's pure alcohol, but the rose's lime juice is so sweet that just a tiny amount will mask the alcohol.

With an ex, I sometimes bumped it up to a triple. She never noticed.

[Screwston]

Do you make a normal jug of Crystal light and just mix some with a.cup of vodka likeoj orcranberry juice?

Could you tell me a few drinks that are like that? I don't really know much about alcohol.

Seconded @ Vicious Do tell us what is the inference of your research on Drinks that are potent yet appear beign.

From what I have seen

1. Mix Vodka, Crytal Light and Ice and water (Deadly really hides the vodka taste). This is e-mech's drink

2. Lond Island Tea (LIT) like Arkitecht mentoned.

On a separate note I do not like to drink when gaming, Mostly I will just get a Beer(stella) just to mingle but what would be least potent Manly Drink to hold in the hand when making rounds at the Bar....
Rum and Coke ?

[MrXY]

I prefer the classics:

Old fashioned

Martini

Gin & tonic (spring/summer)

Manhattan

Dark & Stormy

Margarita rocks (summer)

Single Malt Scotch neat (fall/winter)

High end bourbon neat(fall/winter) or rocks(spring/summer)

High end rum neat (fall/winter) or rocks(spring/summer)

High end beer

I drink what i drink because I like it-not to impress women

However I think it does matter to women what a man drinks; women are attuned to everything a man does, especially when they don't know him well. I get a lot of interest and positive reaction to what I drink "What's that?"- few women know anything about the classic drinks and they do seem to be impressed that I am drinking something they may only have heard of in a film or TV show.

If I'm at a dive bar, sometimes I get away with ordering half a pitcher of beer. Pretty easy way of getting 3/4 a pitcher for half the price. I almost never go to bars, though. Aside from the occasional pint with a few friends for lunch.

If you want to impress a girl with alcohol, throw cocktail parties. It's cheaper and closer to my bed.

[Stitch]

I'm with MrXY, and generally if I don't have a yen for anything specific, "Perfect Manhattan, Up".

[Veloce]

I used to order these ultimate martinis...they're a little obnoxious to call but goddamn they're good, it's a bit of a James Bond moment. Say:

"I'd like a martini. Half vodka, half gin. (I'll eyeball their selection and go for something like Tito's vodka and Beefeater gin) Lillet Blanc instead of vermouth. Up with a twist"

[slubu]

Favorite drink to make a girl - caipriniha. Very strong, very tasty like a spiked lemonade. Allows me to get into my Brazil travel. Next would be a moscow mule with Russian Standard or Chopin vodka.

Favorite drink to order myself - Sazerac if they can make it, if not glenlivit 12 few ice cubes. I may specify 3 next time, not a bad idea.

Have a first date in a little bit, let's experiment and see if it has any effect.

[polymath]

Caipirinhas are probably the most delicious drink I've ever had.

I'm a big fan of gin & tonic, but also sometimes I go for an old fashioned or a white russian.

I think girls are more impressed by a guy who doesn't order fruity drinks or really complicated show-off drinks, than by a guy who orders something that sounds impressive. In general, I try to be impressive by accident only, because the times that you try to impress a girl are usually the times when you come across as working too hard for her respect/attraction/attention.

Caipirinhas are awesome for this.

They are hard to make well, though.

Edit: Also, what do you guys think about white Russians? Tastes like alcoholic chocolate milk.

[snoop]

Pappy Van Winkle

Not many places have heard of it, fewer carry it, and if they do be prepared to spend 50 bucks or so for a single drink.

But everyone within earshot when you order will ask you about it on the odd sounding name alone.
