    I had a bottle of JW Blue Label King George V last month, was the tits.

    Coquito's are pretty tasty too: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/coquito-2/ (though I'm usually too lazy for the egg business)

    Caribou Lou's are my favorite for getting trashed, 2 parts 151, 1 part malibu, 5 parts pineapple juice

    btw, i learned this the hard way: don't leave a ton of calories to make room for alcohol. you'll essentially be drinking on an empty stomach. i have no problem going over a little with my calories if i'm drinking.

    The best kind of drink is what YOU like! You're only having a few, so call it a cheat day. We all need them! If you're super concerned about going over on your calories, then do a little extra exercise earlier in the day, and eat lighter meals. And by lighter I mean 100 or so calories less than what you may usually eat. If you have yogurt with lunch, skip the yogurt. That'll be at least a vodka and cranberry. =P

    When drinking alcohol it's best to have what you enjoy.

    Mine depends on my mood.

    champangne when it's available, cider when it's hot, red wine with a meal and vodka to get drunk.

    Enjoy your party.

    it's been shown on numerous websites...whiskey. Although other liquors are close. Tequila etc. However, some are low cal and also are better for additional diets i.e. sugar busters (avoid rums etc). So whiskey 69 cals per ounce. Red wine (other health benefits) 120 per 4-6 ounces. So more ounces of red wine per cals than whiskey, but more alcohol in whiskey per cals....so depends on your goal, get drunk or enjoy a drink.

    Best advice on the thread so far.

    Because it's work, watch how much you drink, but drink what you like. Personally, I find the mixers and "skinny" this and that taste nasty, and if I'm going to "cheat", I am going to enjoy it.

    I'm a whisky drinker. One cube, sipped and savored. I also drink whiskey, but I like more ice when I do.

    Vodka + cranberry juice is a nice sipper. If you're looking for something tasty, fruity, and strong enough to knock normal people down, get a Zombie. They are delicious.

    I was astonished at how many calories are in a glass of white wine. I already knew that beer is high calorie. There are calorie tables readily available on line. I think vodka is lowest, but I'm more fond of rum and bourbon. I can have 2 bourbons for about the same number of calories as one glass of reisling. Use calorie free mixers, like sparking water (selzer water) and sugar free soft drinks. Warning, club soda is high in sodium.

    If you are watching your calories, stick to Jack and Diet Coke. Pretty good and no calories. Also, a couple glasses of red wine won't kill ya. Avoid beer!
