Silly alcohol question?!
Silly alcohol question?
I am not a drinker and seldom ever order anything alcoholic to drink. However, tonight I'm going out with a very nice gentleman and I know that I'm going to be asked what I'd like to drink - I need an answer that sounds classy, or at least like I do drink socially.
What is a nice drink - maybe somewhat sweet - that I could order in a nice restaurant as a cocktail? I really don't want to order wine as I'm sure I'm going to need something a little stronger to make me feel good and happy this evening.
Hey, I told you it was a silly question - but I do need an intelligent answer. He thinks I'm sophisticated and classy and I'd hate to let him down!
Thanks!

Good ideas all. If I'm going to drink, I drink a Pina Colada, but the one I had a couple of weeks ago at the Outback had no alcohol at all (it seemed) and I might as well have poured sugar in juice and drank that!
A Martini would be classy wouldn't it. maybe I'll go with that.
I appreciate your answers a bunch!

order a tequila sunrise, drink it slow
one is enough and its good
how bout a sex on the beach
A cosmopolitan or a vodka martini...(preferably made with grey goose or ketel one)
I personally think wine is the est way to go! Its classy and it will give you a decent buzz, but cheap wine will give you a BAD hang over... SO becareful
But if you want someitnhg strong! Go for the Long Island Ice Tea.
Pina Colada is my favourite drink in the world and I'm not a big drinker either. Its a nice coconut refreshing taste, and it doesn't taste gross like vodka and coke. I'd ask for one of those. But then if you're looking for classy, maybe a dry martini shaken not stirred! lol! Enjoy ur night!
How about a cosmopolitan, appletini, or pina colada or strawberry daqueri? All are classy, and very tasty. Have fun on your date-you sound classy and I am sure you will be brilliant!
I like a lemondrop. It's essentially vodka & lemon juice, but it's served in a martini glass, with sugar around the edge. Slightly sweet...Usually not a large drink, so you can get thru it without being knocked off your tush...And quite elegant!
apple martini it sweet or amaretto sour it may have sour in the name but it sweet.
No to "sex on the Beach" because of the name & it's strong!
A screwdriver is just vodka which doesn't have much taste and OJ.
can't go wrong with Vodka and cranberry. or a Cosmo, which is the same thing with Cointreau in it. That's what I order at business meetings.
Shirley Temple
or
Order and alcoholic drink, once ordered excuse yourself to the powder room and on you way there stop by your waiter and ask him to change it to a non-alcoholic drink
Good Luck on you date ;)
Amaretto Sour. Amaretto is an Almond Liqueur and the sweet and sour mix make for a VERY INTERESTING and sophisticated SIPPING ONLY drink. Most women I know drink it. Pina Colada's and other associated "Party" drinks will be too risky at this juncture - and it sounds like you will be going to a good sophisticated location - don't bring in the "party" drinks
Keep me posted, but I would venture to say that the fellow you are going out with will order a Scotch/Water on the rocks. Also a sipping drink that allows you to concentrate on your conversation - not your drink (or need for another).
Best of luck to you!
A Silver Cloud is a ladies drink that my nondrinker Mother likes
Ask for a cosmopolitan with grey goose.
Very expensive kind of vodka, very smooth and good.
Cosmos are sweet and classy and served in a martini glass.
That's OK. Don't put on airs. This relationship may work out and you don't want to have to admit that you are not a drinker. Just be yourself. If you want to be sophisticated ask the waiter for what is the houses specialty or what is a good suggestion. It will show that you are spontaneous and social. Good luck.
A Jaigerbomb - a truly classy beverage. A few of those and you will be saying yes... Job done...
You could always go with a glass of Asti Spurmonte - but it is costly and he may feel you are taking advantage of his generosity in asking you out to begin with.
Ask the waiter for a glass of a good " German Mosel white wine" - it is slightly sweet and he will certainly be quite impressed when you ask for a glass of it. Any decent restaurant will have it!
Three glasses of the stuff will make you feel like a million dollars!
Prost! & Good Luck!
ha my boyfirend likes it when i order beer. but maybe it's a hillbilly thing for guyslol
If you really want to impress him, tell him your not much of a drinker and ask him for his recommendation.
He will be impressed a) that you are not a drinker b) that you consider this date special enough to drink anyway and c) that you value his opinion on this matter
Cosmopolitan - it is Vodka, Cointreau (citrus liqueur) and cranberry juice. Just go easy on it, it can pack a punch.

order a cosmopolitan-lots of booze in it, yet comes in a martini glass and is a really nice color. wall-to-wall classy.
I personally am in favor of wine as it is relaxing and elegant to drink. If you do not prefer that, I suggest you order a "White Russian" or even a "Strawberry Martini."
I am not a big fan of anything that actually tastes like alcohol so I would choose a flavored martini like an appletini or an amaretto sour. I also like white russians, they are really tasty.
if you don't normally drink alcohol I wouldn't suggest a martini - which is Striaght alcohol. very potent.
Your best bet would be ordering a glass of wine , if you like sweet go for a reisling , or a pinot gris ( both which are white wines)
If the mood of the night is HARD spirits and still want sweet - an apple martini is a good option. if you're at a VERY cool bar that stocks 42 below Feijoa Vodka then ask for that with applejuice and you will think youve died and gone to heaven.
Best of luck!!
I would stay away from a straight martini if you not a drinker, its all alcohol, try a rasberry cosmo, or a riesling wine ( a sweeter white) . I've been a bartender for 13 years these are best bets.
