In a club with a full bar, I usually order a Gin & Tonic, Tanqueray. I've ordered it so often at one club, "Tanqueray" is my unofficial nickname there.
7&7 mostly. I sometimes will walk in a club that I haven't been to for months and the girl will ask "7&7?".
I have branched out a bit. If there's a beer special I'll sometimes go for that. I'll also do wine sometimes, particularly if the girl I'm catching up with drinks wine.
I do wine. There's usually a momentary hesitation from the bartender or waitress, as if wine is not requested often. Inevitably, they reach behind the bar and pull out a rusty old bottle of red or white to pour from (they usually only have one brand) or otherwise keep serving-size mini-bottles of wine stocked that they hand me, along with a wine glass to do my own pouring. I love the way wine eases one into intoxication . . . I also feel like less of a poser with wine, b/c I don't know of, and don't particularly like, that many types of mixed drinks, and I've never been a beer guy . . .
In SCs in North America - whatever beer they will serve me.
In my business bar in Calgary - Glenmorangie 35 (neat)
In my local wine bar here in Saint Raphael - Chateau Latour '78 (or '91)
At Rancho farmerart - Chateau Latour '45 (and there are only 3 bottles left in the cellar!!)
I love Jameson, too, but I am a cheap bastard and refuse to pay for it at strip clubs.
When I was young, I used to tell a bullshit story that the reason I ordered my Miller Lites two at a time was because one was for me, and the other was for the dying/dead/missing friend whose demise was from a tragic accident/disease/cum-related-dehydration. MANY waitresses were taken in by the bullshit.
The real reason is that I sucked them back so fast, they couldn't keep up.
If I were to imbibe, it would be either decent Scotch (and good brand labeled bottles are by no means guaranteed to contain the brand shown on the label) or Maker's Mark.
