They might not, but its a good conversation starter at a bar "I'm don't drink Jameson, I'm not catholic" raises eyebrows and gets attention...which is the entire endgame here anyway.

Reminds me of that joke from Scent of a Woman that I sometimes use at bars in the states.

Me: "I'll take a John and Coke."
Random person standing nearby: "You mean Jack and Coke?"
Me: "I've known him long enough to call him John."

Prosecco and cava are also excellent suggestions.

Definitely get some Hendricks gin, with tonic and cucumber as garnish.

Girls get real curious when you're drinking something with cucumber in it. And i gotta say, it a very nice drink.

Vodka mixes with everything and most girls drink vodka. You can also waterbottle that shit if you're a true alcoholic.

If this is true, then prices on high-end bourbon may start rising soon.

One other thing you might try is growing some mint in a flower pot on your stoop, patio, or balcony. Then, make mojitos when you bring her over to your place during the spring or summer using fresh leaves from your mint plant. Mint plants require very little care and grow fast. You can enlist her help in making them, since mojitos take so much preparation.

Because they take so much time to make, I usually make them in double sized glasses, like this, so the drink will last a little longer. You may need to have a double-sized cocktail shaker on hand. If you put a little extra sugar in the shaker, you make it a little stronger in alcohol because the sugar will help mask the heat.

White wine spritzers are great summer drinks and will make you stand out when you order them as Americans rarely order this drink. They are best with a gruner veltliner but chenin blanc also makes a good base. These are great sitting on the porch type of drinks and won't get you hammered too quickly.

Another good summer drink is a gin and soda with splash of bitters. You can even have them top it off with a splash of tonic as well. This will get you drunk if you drink too fast but it's a low calorie drink that chicks might enjoy. Order a double for her.

At home, make your own sangria and you'll double your getting laid chances. Cheap, sweet, red wines make the best base for sangria. It should sit for at least a day before serving so be prepared. My favorite wines to use are muscadine, but it's hard to get those outside of the Carolinas. Chiantis also make a decent base but you may have to add sugar.

Chocolate cake shot is popular with the ladies- equal parts frangelico hazelnut liquor and vanilla vodka chilled (shaken or stirred just really cold) and then you coat a lemon slice in sugar. Shoot the drink then bite the lemon. Its girly but so smooth and tollerable for most guys. You can also make it into a cocktail.

I make a mean marggarita from scratch that gets you faded though- 2 pt tequlla (100% agave), 1 pt cointreau, 1 pt fresh lime juice, splash fresh oj, yblspoon of agave nectar. shake the hell out of it and serve on rocks with salted glass. Its rocket fuel but goes down easily on a summer day and most people are buzzing after one.

Otherwise jameson and ginger or a manhattan are my go to cocktails.

Another easy one is a snake bite i think- champagne or cider with guiness floated on top

All I'm gonna a say is:

Hennessey with Dr Pepper

Sounds good! Reminded me of when I used to work in a fancy steak house and these two guys came into the bar asking for Hennessey and Yoo Hoo. I told them sorry we don't have that and they said alright, give me a Remmy and Yoo Hoo.
