Can anyone give me a basic rundown of what drinks to order for your 21st birthday?

Question

Today is my 21st birthday. My boyfriend wants to take me out for drinks. Unfortunately, people always order for me, so I have no idea what to do tonight when I order. Can anyone just give me a few basic drinks to order...and tell me whats in them ;) I don't want to look like an idiot tonight. Thankssss!

Answer 1

vodka and cranberry....its vodka and cranberry juice...very good...i had like 8 of those a few weekends ago at the bar....i also had several shots of buttery nipples...those r awesome

Answer 2

I agree with Long Island Iced Tea if you're looking to not drink much.  It contains vodka-gin-rum-cointreau with sour mix and a splash of coke.  It's a strong one!

Other mixed drinks to try:

- Tequila Sunrise (tequila, orange juice, grenadine)

- s*x on the Beach (vodka, cranberry, orange juice, pineapple juice)

- Woo Woo (vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry juice)

- White Russian (vodka, Kahlua, cream) - try this with flavored vodkas!

If you're looking to do shots, there are a few good common ones out there:

- Kamikaze (bourbon, lime juice, cranberry juice)

- Royal Flush (Crown Royal, peach schnapps, cranberry juice)

- Red Headed **** (peach schnapps, Jagermeister, cranberry juice)

- Buttery Nipple (Buttershots schnapps, Bailey's, cream)

...and a few off-the-wall, make-your-friends-go-"HUH?" shooters:

- Alien Secretion (vodka, midori, amaretto, pineapple juice)

- Doctor Evil, layered (Jagermeister, gin, vodka)

- Golden Nipple, layered (Goldshlager, Buttershots schnapps, Bailey's)

Happy Birthday!  Have fun, be safe, make sure you have a *trustworthy* designated driver (mine went and got drunk on my 21st and we had to pay for a cab...it sucked).

Answer 3

Get some 21 year old whisky.  Single malt scotch is good, but expensive; a nice cheap alternative is Bushmill's 21.

Answer 7

i love cranberry and vodka. i would get it with absolut vodka. you can never go wrong with a magarita on the rocks. or a bud light!

Answer 8

tell the bartender its your 21st and they will make you all sorts of drinks you have never heard of and will most likely give you a lot for free. That's what I did. also tell everyone around you all night its your 21st and u will discover a whole new world of drinks you never knew existed..... but some of the most popular shots are red headed s***s, jaggor bombs, car bombs, and plain shots of any liquor. people love to help a "newbie" get drunk

Answer 9

If you're not used to drinking something simple would be a strawberry daiquiri.It is a mix of rum,ice, and sometimes lemon and lime juice.If you want something a little stronger you could try a margarita which is a blend of tequila,triple sec,and fruit flavors.Drinks are more by preference than anything so stick to whatever flavors you like and go from there.Happy 21st birthday and enjoy!

Answer 10

if you can take sour mix, which is the stuff they cut margaritas with(surely you've had one of those), i would suggest a Jolly Ranger, if they made it right it will taste exactly like a green apple Jolly Ranger. Vodka is its main liquor along with some apple barrel schnapps. If you want some think simple and familiar try a vanilla coke with vanilla vodka in it, you'll hardly know the dif.
