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

vodka and lemonade or orange juice

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

Vodka. It has no taste.

SoCo and lime

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, 10:25 PM

I started with Knob Creek and so can you.

**Mythy** · September 1st, 2008, 02:35 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, 11:02 AM

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, 07:07 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.
