Via Edrants, a great site about books and reading which I do not check often enough: The New York Post drinks with writers.
I love Overheard in New York creator Michael Malice's selection of the gin gimlet, which is also what Philip Marlowe drinks to cut the whiskey. Personally I alternate between gin and vodka in mine, which is non-canonical but delicious.

So how is a vodka gimlet different from a kamikaze, or a "margarella"?
Cocktails are fun once in a while, but it's an expensive habit I don't want to acquire. I'm already a sucker for foofy drinks that cost $5 (lattes! Thai iced teas! smoothies!), so I certainly don't want to get into drinking foofy drinks that cost $10.
A kamikaze/ margarella uses sour mix, which is lime juice but not only lime juice. (Truthfully I'm not sure what it has in it, but it probably contains some other citrus elements.) Sour mix varies widely among bars but lime juice is almost always good.
