I counted 10 I can make on the fly, so 14 I couldn’t. But in my private life, the drinks that have been specifically requested of me when I ask “would you like a drink?” and got an answer other than yes have almost all been Margarita. Paper Plane second place, not even on their list, but it’s a distant second.

I would say if you can make a margarita without a recipe (I do this with proportions, 2 parts tequila, one of orange liqueur, one of lime, shake with ice) and it gets seal of approval from Mexican girl-or-boyfriends of my kids. If you can make that, an old fashioned, martini and a Negroni I think you are going to cover most guests at parties but in my experience most of those will be margaritas.

    I have ~50 drinks in my recipe book, ~1/3 of them I could make without looking the details.
