Had a feeling NJ would be something apple based. Glad to see I was right. Not the biggest cocktail drinker, but might attempt to make some of these in the far future.

Never had. D: lol
A co-worker from Texas vouched for that... interesting.

Those pictures and recipes make NO sense.
I've lived in Austin for many years and have never had a Mexican Martini that looked like that, or was using that recipe.

The Cape Codder for MA? What a joke. For a state that has such a rich history in distilling and mixology... You get the teenager's go-to-get-drunk-and-don't-taste-alcohol bull shit.
Bull shit beverage.
They quit on MA.
Egg whites are often used in mixing... Adds a frothiness to the drink that's awesome.

What the hell is a Moscow Mule? NY's should have been the Manhattan.
Delicious, but given the heritage of cocktail creations from NY this isn't the best choice by a long shot.
Their choice for my state, California, I get. Though not as popular as it was in the 60's the Mai Tai is classic.

That ain't no sazerac.
Edit: I see I'm beaten. Good to see GAF knows what it's talking about.

Rum, Whiskey and Tabasco Sauce. That sounds fucking vomitous, why couldn't we have something cool? Instead we get two disgusting things mixed with Whiskey.

Its just a margarita in a cocktail glass. Its a lot like everything about Trudy's, overrated.
Also, I have never seen one look like that picture before.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The only good cocktail is the Old Fashioned.

Nebraska's drink is hillbilly as fuck! Kool-aid and vodka?
Overall this list is shit or just plain wrong.
Illinois' drink is a chicago fizz. but i haven't really gone for a drink anywhere other than Violet Hour in years.
haha, the only other place I've seen these Bloody Mary meals is wisconsin
Wrong!

Drink: The High and Dry (Mandarin Vodka, Triple Sec)
Why?: During the prohibition era, Phoenix featured a secret bar behind a bookshelf in the Arizona Biltmore, where every self-respecting gentleman had access to a decent highball.
Ok, so I didn't know this about the Biltmore:
Check the link as found behind the "featured" text above: http://www.phoenixmag.com/lifestyle/history/201311/clandestine-cocktails/
They recommend following @ArizonaBiltmore on twitter for clues on how to get into the Speakeasy room. They only allow 30 guests from 8-11pm on Sundays. I now have a new activity on Sunday evenings.

Which is why I am surprised it isnt listed for Wisconsin. WTF is a Tom and Jerry? We have a bar named the old fashioned for god sakes.

Damn straight. What the hell is this Tom and Jerry shit?
Embury's Sazerac from The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks ('48) is basically as they've said. Crushed ice, rye whisky, Peychaud's and a glass rinsed with absinthe.

I think Mai Tai's are disgusting.

Yeah, that's a sazerac, I dont know what the haters be on about. Rye Whyskey Peychauds and Absinthe.
Edit: Or are the deniers saying the pic doesn't correspond to the drink? I can see that.

That, and no ice. (The ingredients are correct.)
Stet, you sure Embury says the ice goes in the drink? Some call for crushed ice to set in the glass but it is tossed before the absinthe rinse.
That isn't a picture of a sazerac.
Embury says to strain it.
There is no bar in New Orleans that serves it with ice. Clisby's version (Famous New Orleans drinks and how to Mix Em, 1937) also states strain.
If that drink had any Peychaud's in it, it would red.
As reference, I bartended in the Quarter for 3-4 years and learned under the guy who won New Orleans Mixologist of the year, 2013.
Edit: Oh, nice. Here is Steven showing how to make a sazerac, just how I learned.

Here's a good article for you about the search for New England's classic cocktail, and yeah.. it's apparently the quest for the holy grail.

Even if it hadn't, I wouldn't trust it! Having ice in a sazerac is a sin.
Ahh, I remembered the ice wrong.

If anyone is looking into the Moscow Mule but doesn't particularly like vodka, there is also the Kentucky Mule which substitutes bourbon. Very good.
Man, I hate the casino. I grew up with it in my backyard and it's generally just a shitty place.
Born in Rapid. Left and came back from age 20 to 28. Out in Atlanta now where 2 inches of snow shut the entire city down. The only time I ever not had to go to work in Rapid was in 2008 we had that day where it was -30 and the city said fuck it, its too cold. Never had a snow day.
West River Represent ::hears another trailer/meth lab explode over in Box Elder::
Oh and you know that Rapid is basically run by 3 families? Deep pockets yo.

The storm here in back in this October was nuts; Rapid (where I live) got two feet of snow, but Deadwood/Lead got 4 feet in one go. Pennington County and a few others imposed travel bans. Roads didn't get cleared for days, my friends were without power for over a week, killed only god knows how many heads of cattle. That was a Black Hills-wide snow day, if not days. I'm a native of Nebraska, so it wasn't as big of shock as my brand-new-to-SoDak-from-SoCal roommate had, lol.
More like Best River though. Because if that meth lab explodes, might as well have a prettier backdrop. Who the fuck wants to see that explode in Aberdeen or Watertown?
It doesn't surprise me in least, to be honest.

In Georgia, and the Scarlet O'hara? Isn't it bad enough that our whole state is shut down right now?

Honestly, I only accept the Mint Julep and the Sazerac as drinks representing states.
You expected Oklahoma of all places to have a good drink?
