Vodka is good for getting drunk but not much else. If I'm trying to get the ladies messed up quick a good Cosmopolitan works fast.

I'm a sucker for a martini but it's got to be gin, very dry and I can't have just one. Unless you're at a martini bar or high end restaurant most bartenders don't make a good martini. Try to only drink these on a special occasion or before a great meal.

The basic margarita when done with silver Cuervo, Cointreau and fresh lime juice is another favorite.

But for a cocktail it's got to be old school, like a rusty nail or something else served small, packs a punch and tastes like it's of another era.

Franklin Wine Cooler:
Large glass half filled with ice
Carlo Rossi Burgundy almost all the way to the top
splash of orange soda

a few restaurants and pubs in town actually make pitchers of these. nice to mix it up once in a while...

I've actually had that at an Italian restaurant in Franklin.

My favorite mixed drink is a good vodka mixed with ice.

either Reunions when it was open or The Rome. Both owned by same family, the former more of a party scene, the latter has some decent food....

If you purely just want to get trashed in Franklin, go get a couple Mai Tais at the Hang Tai in the middle of town. pure kerosene...
