Bitters
Vodka
Lime
Lemonade (7-up or Sprite being acceptable alternatives)

I always used to have one of these on standby if we were drinking cheap tequilla, as I can't bear the fratboy lemon and salt rigmoroll.
I just drink 2 shots straight while they're faffing around with their salt and lemon. Especially if i'm not the one paying for it all!

The NY Times recently featured my favorite bitters cocktail, the Hemingway Code Hero.

"a person is more likely to be judged by what he refrained from doing than what he actually did,"

It's all starting to make sense again.
And they say her flower is faded now
Hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's just the price you pay
For the chains you refuse

I drank these all last night, and introduced a few others to them as well. Quite a good drink.
