Was just talking about this.
1) Martini. Gin. Dry Vermouth. Orange bitters.
2) Manhattan. Rye. Sweet vermouth. Bitters.
3) Daiquiri. Rum. Lime juice. Simple syrup.
4) Negroni. Gin. Sweet vermouth. Campari.
Honorable mention and could make list: Old Fashioned/Sazerac (these drinks are kissing cousins), Mai Tai, Salty Dog, Bloody Mary that doesn’t become a vinegar laden mess, champagne cocktail, whiskey sour, pisco sour.

Their minds go straight to frozen slushies.

What kind of absinthe do y’all put in your sazerac?
That and the required Peychaud’s bitters makes it an extremely different drink from the Old Fashioned.

One of them is a variant on the other. But I don’t know which came first. The base is the same. Whiskey, simple syrup, bitters. Sazerac has an absinthe rinse (I always use herbsaint because it’s available and cheap) and lemon peel. Old Fashioned has an orange peel and a different bitters profile.
It’s the same drink.

Correct.
Straight bourbon is also acceptable

Correct, that is a “drink” not a cocktail.

I can't believe I omitted what might be top 3 for me: the mint julep.
I usually go 3oz of my favorite bourbon.
10-12 lightly muddled mint leaves from the garden
A little simple syrup (.5 oz)
A metal straw in a julep cup
On a hot day, I can think of nothing more refreshing.
And it quickly knocks you sideways, too. Bonus.

For me, a White Russian has to be on the list.

Great cocktail, but clearly gender neutral.

A good old fashioned is tough to beat

This would be one of mine from Carrigan’s in Birmingham. What other local, big boy cocktails do y’all have? This one is “alcohol forward” as some might say.
Fightin’ Words - rye, cocchi rosa, fernet branca, orange blossom water, angostura bitters, flamed orange

St. Georges. They sell a 200mL bottle which is great for rinses.

And Bond's Vesper-style martini substitutes gin for vodka, which I see as a slightly less masculine move. But Bond gets a pass.
It’s both gin and vodka, plus lillet blanc. I dig it.

Lucid, and here’s why:
Its creator is master distiller Ted Breaux. Ted was born in New Orleans. He was formally educated at LSU, ULL, and Tulane. His knowledge of chemistry learned from these fine institutions helped him establish proper thujone levels for absinthe to be safely marketed.
He is single handedly responsible for convincing legislators that there was no basis for absinthe to be illegal in the US. His Lucid brand was the first genuine absinthe made with Grande Wormwood to be legally sold in the US after a 100 year ban using historically accurate techniques. The green color is purely from the added botanicals and not from any added color that other absinthes rely on.
If you’re going to enjoy the official state cocktail of Louisiana and honor its historic relevance and elegance, then Lucid is the only way to go.
Also try his Perique liqueur distilled from tobacco.

I’ve never put bitters in a martini but I will try this
I can’t handle a Negroni. But I am with you 100% on mai tai. When I travel for work, I always seek out a tiki speakeasy (there’s an oddly large number of them around the country) and get their mai tai. Knocks you on your arse.
Posted on 11/30/20 at 10:03 am to LouisianaLady
LALady, please elaborate on the speakeasy when traveling. I do the same but, not aware of tiki speakeasy’s. I have been to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Mai Kai in FL tiki bars but never a speakeasy.
