I have had a damned cold that I can't get rid of for the last week or so, so I haven't been drinking.
But my poisons of choice:
Beer, mostly American micros and German imports. But willing to try most things as long as I know it's not going to be like making love in a canoe.
Martinis. The original martini, please. I can't stand it when I order a martini and I'm asked "Vodka or Gin?" Tho I don't like olives. I usually take an onion (I believe this technically makes it a "Gibson") or nothing.
Single malt Scotch. MMmmmm. Balvenie is my favorite.
I have to add that I've been drinking martinis and single malt since well before they were fashionable. Not that there's anything wrong with being fashionable.
On the subject of "cute" drinks, when I was on a trip to Santa Fe this past spring, I ended up at a restaurant with a group of people from my conference. There was one drink on the menu called a "panty dropper." One of the women at the table decided to order it, mostly to see if she could make the young, hunky waiter blush. (That would be a yes.) She said it was basically a Cosmopolitan.
