The best bet will probably be to just go out to bars and try random mixed drinks. I personally recommend at least getting a White Russian (Kahlua, vodka, milk) and a Scooby Snack (I have no clue what goes into this one...). Oh, and since you're celebrating, you HAVE to down the celebratory and obligatory shot of tequila with salt and lime. (: | ||

I've seen them go for as low as $150 in Korea (at least at the duty-free shops in the airports). But I guess you're right. I guess I was fantasizing about my own ideal 21st would have been like, and let slip the fact that the OP hasn't tried much beyond soju? | ||

My old room mate used to work for a lawyer who always had a bottle of blue label in his office, so I've tried it a couple of times, including a small glass of the King George V Edition, which was like $600 a bottle. He also has bottles of the 150 and 200 anniversary editions, which are ridiculous. I'm still learning about whiskey though, and most of that stuff is way out of my league in any sense. | ||

Let me just ask you americans here something, everytime when i stumble back home drunk and go to play some sc, friends ask me what ive been drinking, and its usually Bamboo ( 50% coca cola 50% red wine) and all my non european friends get grossed out and ask me how the fuck i can drink something like that. So im wondering, does that really sound like such a gross mix to you and why, its a pretty popular drink here and its not like im insane and am drinking the stuff alone, i would say that anyone who has ever drank alcohol here has had it. Also, 1/3 vodka, 2/3 sprite, squeeze in some lemon juice, enjoy the awesomnes ! And also if you are gonna be doing shots of hard liquor (maybe not now for your 21st, but anytime) try to get a drink of water in between every few shots, it will be a life saver the day after, i know i would have been dying for a week after drinking absinthe if i hadn't drunk water after each glass. | ||

Do not get whisky ffs, especially not good one. Whisky is the most complex alcoholic drink, it takes a lot of experience and trying and indeed skill to really appreciate the taste. Don't mix whisky either, it's simply barbaric and only serves getting drunk real fast. Generally, never mix with any soda or highly processed non alcoholic drink, the result is guaranteed to be disgusting. How is your previous experience with alcohol? What did you like? Generally people can say whether they like beer, red wine, white wine etc. If you haven't tried any of it it will most likely taste awful the first time you try it. If you like wine then I would say that is the obvious choice, especially since you are celebrating just with your girl, right? Get a bottle of good wine, either red or white. Usually with wine you can safely go by price - the higher the better. Good wine can even taste good to people who normally don't drink at all. Only make sure you don't buy expensive just because the wine is old, you won't appreciate the age anyway. Another good suggestion here is Bailey's, it is very gentle, in fact you almost can't taste the alcohol at all. It is also something your girl will most likely like. You said you enjoy soju but don't like vodka, which is funny because the two drinks are almost identical. Did you have sweetened soju? That might have made the difference as usually vodka does not have sugar added. If that is the case a combination of something sweet and vodka might actually be what you are looking for. You can mix vodka with anything and everything, so go by what fruity and sweet taste you like. Go easy on the vodka as too much will make the alcohol dampen your tasting senses and all the sweetness won't matter. An alternative to vodka as the base alcohol is some sort of corn schnapps, but make sure you get a neutral tasting one (the less added the better). If you go that route I highly recommend you try mixing with jostaberry juice unless you really don't like jostaberries (either with vodka or corn). It makes for a surprisingly well tasting combination. Don't know about the states, maybe you can find a jostaberry drink somewhere but I doubt it. | ||

That Bamboo thing is very good. Here it's called "Katemba" and it's very popular in Angola, not much in Portugal though. I always do that whenever I only got crappy wine. Another popular way of mixing the wine with other drinks is by doing "Sangria" (white wine with sugar, bits of diferent fruits, such as orange etc and some mint leaves) which is really really popular in Portugal and Brazil. If it's good wine I'm not mixing it with anything, the same goes for whiskey. | ||
