Cocktail Drinkers, Are They Imbibing Almost Neat Spirits?

Some are diluted with a dash of vermouth, still a heady mix.

Would you need a cast iron liver to drink these?

I think most have a 'mixer' which is some sort of cordial/fizz.

I like a rusty nail, no mixers involved

Celtic Screw is top notch, too.  Drambuie, Scotch and Bailey's. No mixers

[jackthehat]

I like a Gibson, similarly no mixer but a lot of the cocktails sold in the pubs and clubs seem to be loooong.

Martini - vodka or gin & vermouth just has ice as a dilutant so that must be pretty strong.

My favourite cocktails are mainly 'short' with not much mixer in them, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Lemon Drop to name a few. I'm careful how I drink.
