As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can provide some insights into what girls often drink on a night out. It's important to note that everyone's preferences can vary, but there are some common choices that many girls tend to go for.
Firstly, let's talk about cocktails. Girls often enjoy a wide variety of cocktails, ranging from classics to more modern creations. Vodka-based cocktails are quite popular, and having a bottle of high-quality vodka, like Stoli Elit, is a great starting point. Vodka mixes well with a variety of flavors, making it versatile for creating different cocktails. Some popular vodka-based cocktails include the Cosmopolitan, Moscow Mule, and the refreshing Vodka Soda.
Gin is another spirit that many girls enjoy. It offers a unique flavor profile and pairs well with various mixers. Farmer's Gin is an excellent choice, as it is crafted with a blend of botanicals that create a complex and aromatic spirit. Girls often gravitate towards gin and tonic, a classic combination that can be customized with different garnishes such as cucumber or grapefruit. The Gin Martini, with its elegant simplicity, is also a popular choice.
Moving on to rum, Brugal Rum is a fantastic option to have in your collection. It hails from the Dominican Republic and is known for its smoothness and rich flavors. Rum-based cocktails, such as the Mojito, Piña Colada, and Daiquiri, are loved by many girls. These tropical concoctions are perfect for a night out, transporting you to a beachside paradise.
Whiskey is another spirit that has gained popularity among women in recent years. Basil Hayden's bourbon whiskey, with its smooth and approachable nature, is a great choice. Whiskey can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing you to appreciate its complex flavors. Girls also enjoy whiskey-based cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour, which can be customized to suit individual tastes.
Lastly, let's not forget about tequila. Tequila has seen a surge in popularity, and girls are no exception to this trend. Having a bottle of tequila, such as a high-quality blanco or reposado, allows for the creation of various tequila-based cocktails. Margaritas, with their refreshing blend of tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau, are a go-to choice for many girls. Tequila shots are also a staple for those looking to get the party started.
To round out your collection, be sure to have dry and sweet vermouths on hand from Dolin. These are essential for classic cocktails like the Martini and Manhattan. Additionally, having Cointreau, a versatile orange liqueur, and Campari, a bitter aperitif, can help expand the range of options for girls who prefer more complex and unique flavors.
Girls often enjoy a variety of drinks on a night out. By having a well-stocked bar with a bottle each of vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, and tequila, along with vermouths, Cointreau, and Campari, you can cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Remember, everyone's drink preferences are unique, so it's always a good idea to have a few options available to ensure a memorable and enjoyable night out. Cheers!
