I will start, I just tried Caramel Kissed vodka, OMG! I mixed it with ginger ale, it was super yummy!

Mostly I drink vodka and Red Bull because I'm classy like that, but some of my favorite cocktails are a classic mojito or a variation on a dark and stormy with white rum (usually Bacardi) and super spicy Jamaican ginger beer (I can't remember the brand, but you can usually find it at Trader Joe's). I guess that makes it a light and stormy?

It's spiced rum and ginger beer, sometimes with lime. I'm not sure what brand of rum, though.

I have two fave drinks .. the one I make myself at home is a loaded glass of ice, a double shot of good vodka, fill 3/4's with good orange juice (I use the pulp free kind because I hate scrubbing the pulp out of the glasses when I forget to rinse them out) and then top with clear pop, not fussy ,, 7up or Sprite does the trick, diet or not .. makes a light refreshing drink and is thoroughly enjoyable after a long day.  When I go out to have a few drinks and some dancing with my husband I normally order the Alabama Slammer, which seems to be made a bunch of different ways depending on which bar you go to and who's working, my fave version has Southern Comfort, Sloe Gin, Peach Shnapps, Orange Juice, Grenadine and two or three other things lol .. sweet, fruity and enough sugar to keep your booty shaking all night long!

Alabama Slammer sounds kind of like Sex on the beach, but instead of Southern Comfort use vodka, I think, I used to love that drink, until I threw it up one crazy night!

My cool weather favorite is Bailey's and hot water.  Sounds questionable but is DELICIOUS!

An ounce (or two) of Baileys in a mug, top up with hot water, and sprinkle some cinnamon on top!

A night out with the ladies always involves "Canadian Greyhounds."

Vodka, grapefruit juice, and ginger ale, with a splash of maple syrup.  Watch out - these go down WAY too easily! ;)

Oooohh, both of those sound so good! If you like Baileys and hot water, you could also try hot buttered rum, its rum, hot water and a pat of butter, I have never tried but it sounds so good on a snowy day :)
