What Liquor Would You Recommend For An Inexperienced Drinker?

**SlowLX** · July 18th, 2007, 11:20 AM

So say you are trying to drink with somebody who's never really had any liquor or a whole lot of experience with alcohol in general. What would you suggest is a good spirit to get them started down the long road to alcoholism? Not too harsh, but still effective with a good taste. I have a few ideas, just wondering what everybody else would recommend

LMAO, I actually though about that when I was posting this. Fortunately that is not the situation

vodka and lemonade or orange juice

**Joey** · July 18th, 2007, 09:40 PM

More than likely vodka like blaydeman suggested. Since it's such a neutral spirit, it's mixing potential is vast. My suggestion would be to not mix anything too powerful, you don't want the person to become disgusted by the raw taste of alcohol before they can handle it. Vodka can mix with just about any fruit juice. Also, tonic water, practically any type of soda will mix (citrus types in particular), and of course people swear by red bull + vodka (I myself prefer vodka + this energy drink by Sobe called Adrenalin Rush http://www.sobebev.com/product_info/...enaline_lg.jpg)

You might also consider trying another great standby, good ol' whiskey and cola

**Jack Daniels** · July 19th, 2007, 06:47 AM

Vodka. It has no taste.

**Nick** · July 19th, 2007, 09:21 AM

SoCo and lime

**I <3 Vodka** · June 30th, 2008, 12:38 AM

Seagram's Apple Gin + ginger ale

**danlhinz** · August 28th, 2008, 04:14 PM

soco is pure sh!t, tastes like cheap whiskey poured through an old boot with cherry syrup added for color and flavor.

**Hershey** · August 28th, 2008, 11:25 PM

I started with Knob Creek and so can you.

**Mythy** · September 1st, 2008, 03:35 AM

I started my own thread bassed on my tastes but I figured I would coment here as well.

I haven't had much of any experience with this but I started firstly on a mixed drink called Red Death and fell in love immediately! I was going threw 3-4 a night every night at $8.50 a pop until my wallet ran into my cell phone bill and my GF wanted some new shoes

If you wouldn't mind mixing it tastes like coolaid but has one hell of a punch

**DunKhan** · September 8th, 2008, 12:02 PM

Spirits wise, vodka mixers (but not pre-mixed stuff) is a good way to start. Obviously you'd have to graduate from them at some point though :P

**_Rapier_** · September 20th, 2008, 08:07 PM

My first drink was a cosmo. It's such a chick drink.
Most enjoyable early drinks involved Bacardi Zombie and cranberry juice blended with ice. I recommend that, especially since it won't get you dead drunk unless you drink the whole bottle yourself.

.... Not that I ever did that. . . .

Or you could just do rum. Everyone likes rum. Rum likes everyone.

**Giant Panther** · September 22nd, 2008, 09:44 PM

captain and coke

Can't go wrong with that.

**donovan1983** · September 24th, 2008, 08:29 PM

Either Coke and Stoli Vanilla or Coke and Malibu. Doesn't taste like you're even drinking something with alcohol at first but it sure hits you later. Okay, maybe not so much with the Malibu (very low proof) but definitely with the Stoli.

**Gutter** · September 29th, 2008, 01:42 PM

Jack Daniels

**Andre** · October 7th, 2008, 09:27 PM

Vodka and Tonic

SoCo and Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice if you're looking to get them to do shots.

If it's a mixed drink you're after, I actually find Skyy Citrus or Svedka Citron + Lemon flavored water to be pretty refreshing and easy to chug for an easy drinking buzz.

Also Vanilla vodka (Stoli Vanil comes to mind) plus Dr. Pepper is almost too easy to drink as the vodka taste is extremely disguised by the Dr. Pepper flavor. Only time I can really pick up the vodka taste is if I'm pouring it extremely heavy.

**free_booze** · November 11th, 2008, 11:02 PM

E&J or Paul Masson Brandy and Seagrams or Schweppes ginger ale

Soooo smooth

**XLR8TOR** · January 3rd, 2009, 07:53 PM

Rumple Minze

Straight out of the freezer over ice...

**Jamie** · January 5th, 2009, 03:01 PM

Screwdriver

**Speedaddict81** · April 6th, 2009, 10:51 PM

I started with Crown and Coke, but I think a good Captain and Sprite would work better(Cream Soda)

Welcome to the site

And I must agree, a properly made Long Island would be a tasty beverage for a noob drinker.

**salright** · May 12th, 2009, 10:47 PM

If you like drinking Pina Coladas.....

**Speedaddict81** · May 22nd, 2009, 10:15 AM

Why not Gentleman Jack? On ice with a splash of water (or a little more) to cut what little edge there is.

Bailey's on the rocks
