A good whiskey sour is amazing... Though I don't have it while out. Too expensive, unless it's not actually a night of drinking.
But one of my friends, while not actually a bartender, loves mixing her own drinks. I supply the whiskey, she makes the whiskey sours and assorted other drinks. ^_^
Straight spirits, though? Tequila. I always gross out my friends/any onlookers, because if it's good tequila, I never need the pre-salt or lemon chaser. If it's good tequila, and it's a party at my friends place, and I actually have the money to acquire said good tequila (by "good", I mean ~$50+ per bottle), I'll have it straight from my flask. Yum.
Oh, also Coruba (Jamaican Rum, much sweeter than other rum because of how it's made... Details that I can't really be bothered going into here). Geez that stuff is tasty, even more than tequila. Seriously. Too bad it's also expensive...
If talking about non-mixed drinks that aren't spirits, then port is for me. It's the drink I have at uni, because it's still relatively cheap (~$7 a bottle from a good store) for a relatively good port, while not being one of those exceedingly cheap and generally crap tasting drinks (see: goon. Eurgh).
I think that just about covers all bases. ^_^
EDIT: Oh, yea, drinks I get while out. Generally, Black Russians are my drink when out with people I know. Mmm...
