Stepping out with the wife to a Semi Formal event (That means wearing a tie ickes). Any thoughts on drinks to order? Her usual is a Amaretto Sour. Something simple, not fruity, more on the tart side. |

If you don't mind vodka... Cape Cod (vodka/cranberry) Greyhound (vodka/grapefruit) Sea Breeze (vodka/cranberry/grapefruit) I realize you wanted to stay away from "fruity" drinks. But, the cranberry, or grapefruit goes well with vodka, and they are certainly more tart than sweet. Edit: A rocks Margarita, with a good tequila has always served me well, too. |

I'd even throw in a vodka gimlet. Classic and if the bartender is any good, they will do this drink justice (it's just vodka and lime juice, but the quality of the lime juice- ideally fresh - is key). |

Whisk(e)y, rye or Scotch neat or with a splash of water.
A gin and tonic. A negroni.
Bourbon and bitter lemon.
And I nearly forgot.

How about an old fashioned? This is usually what I'm drinking when attending these sort of events. It's all SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS at the after party though. |

Bartender didn't know how to make anything  annoying. So Beer and Whisky sour it was. |
