Top 10 Favorite Mixed Drinks: SEEKER
While most of PWV’s Top 10 lists are music related, you may notice that a few of them are totally random. Bryce Lucien is a not only the frontman of the metal band Seeker, but he also slings drinks for a living so this Top 10 list is right up his alley. Check it out!
Top 10 Favorite Mixed Drinks

“I may spend most of my time playing death metal to a bunch of fat, sweaty, ugly dudes all across the country, but that does not mean that my drinking taste is confined to PBR or High Life. When I’m home from tour I work in bars and drink like a man, goddamn it. Here are 10 mixed drinks that I firmly believe should be the staples of everyone’s alcoholism….”
10. Jack and Coke
Classic, cheap, and rock and roll as fuck. The perfect drink go to drink for a night consisting of sleazy dive bars and Motorhead.
9. Vegas Bomb
Sweet, delicious, and inexpensive shot for when I’m feeling slutty…
8. Vermouth Cassis
You’ll have to find a bar that really knows how to handle this cocktail. Drink this when you want to channel your inner “Great Gatsby”…which we all know means drink this when you’re on a date with a total hipster.
7. Manhattan
Fuck all that Don Draper, Mad Men bullshit. This is THE classic cocktail. Drink this if you are a man. Try making this with Bulleit Rye Whiskey. Perfection.
6. French 75
I’m an avid Gin drinker, so the fact that this is something like a super-charged Tom Collins makes this a pretty firm favorite. The drink is named after the French 75mm M1897 Cannon, so that should tell you everything you need to know about the kind of punch that this drink is packing. They sneak up on you.
5. Whiskey Sour
This is generally considered the dirty, trashy, truck-stop hooker of the whiskey cocktail world, but when done right it really can be so much more. Use a good rye whiskey, add an egg white, and for the love of god, please stay the fuck away from sweet and sour. Have some self respect and use fresh lemon juice and sugar to sweeten…we’re not frat boys here.
4. Moscow Mule
Lime juice, ginger ale, and vodka. Super simple and delicious. This is the only Vodka drink that I’ll touch. Perfect summer cocktail.
3. Tom Collins
This is the classic gin drink and one of the oldest cocktails in the book. Extremely refreshing. Beefeater London Dry Gin is the only brand that will do. Get one now.
2. Old Fashioned
Whiskey, light on the sugar, club soda, bitters. That’s it. A not to be fucked with drink for an not to be fucked with man.
1. The French Pearl
This is my favorite cocktail of all time. 2 shots of gin, 1 shot of absinthe, mint, lime, simple syrup. This is the drink of choice for career alcoholics like Ernest Hemingway and William Burroughs. This is a drink with power and history. Fuck your Vodka Redbull. Fuck your Malibu and Pineapple. This is a drinkers drink. Not for the faint of heart.
