Hmm, well, for a mixed drink- for SURE Long Islands. The problem is that I am not a big drinker because I have this bad habit of starting, and forgetting to stop. Long Islands are part of the reason... As for wine, I actually really like Asti champagne, and I wish I knew the name of the wine I had at a party last Friday, but I don't... It was reallllllly good.
