Need a new signature drink

Bombay Sapphire is good.

Every so often, I pick a drink that, when I'm at a bar (and have money, so I'm not getting a Cuba Libre or something with rail vodka in it), I like to order. It's also a drink I like to make when I'm at home and recommend to others. Originally (in pre-bar days) it was Gin and Tonic. Then it was a White Russian. Then it became a Long Island Iced Tea, and then a Long Beach Iced Tea (less people have had them before, so they always appreciate the suggestion).

Unfortunately, I'm getting sick of ordering LITs (and LBTs). So now I need a new drink. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not opposed to something slightly girly, provided

I'm definitely a Makers on the rocks kind of guy. Also good may be an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan. If you like gin, order a Bombay Sapphire Martini, very dry, 3 olives. I enjoy all of these

Oh my god, i think i love you. I love an Old Fashioned. And i will say, very few things beat a well-made Manhattan. But, not to be too semantical here, a dry martini doesn't refer at all to the amount of vermouth vs. gin. It refers to whether or not you are using a dry, Italian vermouth, or a sweet, French vermouth.

But Bombay Sapphire is an awesome gin.
