The rare girl drink with balls: Root Down's spiced pear mojito
A, I hate girl drinks. B, I hate most flavored vodkas in most girl drinks. C, judging by my first experience, I hate Root Down. But what I failed to mention in a blogpost of my own on point C is that they actually make a mean, clean spiced pear "mojito" using Hangar One vodka, a splash of apple juice, agave, lemon, & muddled thyme. Juicy but not fruity, aromatic, and fairly potent, it was one cocktail I could really get behind (or, ultimately, under)—with the exception of its name, seeing as how it doesn't share a single thing in common with the Cuban classic, except that they're both served in a glass. By that logic you could refer to everything on a plate as pizza.
Would love to hear other confessions re the exceptions to the rule of sucky girl drinks.

Man, that drink is HUGE! What a bargain!
The White Russian is as close as I get to a girl drink. I found that cocktail invaluable on the "night after": finding myself out again after having weathered an entire working day with a cruel hangover. Easy on the nerves and the stomach. Took the edge off and ramped me back up to another night of foolishness.
