Posted June 23, 2017 Depending on the liquor I like it on ice, shaken and strained or up. How about you? Whiskey and born on I like rocks, tequila//gin shaken or refrigerated, vodka in a martini up. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 I've always liked a glass of Bushmills on the rocks. Keeps me drinking it slower which I like. Other whiskeys too. For some reason never been a big fan of Scotch though... I like Vodka Collins. Non frozen margaritas and daiquiris. Sailor Jerry rum on the rocks too... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 23, 2017 Haven't seen stones. Agreed depending on the type might take it straight up. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Usually it is Jim Beam swilled straight out of the 375 flask bottle (fits nicely in a suit's inside pocket), so it is at body temp - yum! Under better circumstances I prefer a nice 10+ year, single malt, scotch, neat. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Belvedere Vodka all the way. I can sip it on the rocks or drink it with soda water and a lime. Cheers! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Crown or Chai straight outta the freezer. Rum, tequila, vodka mixed drinks only, no martinis. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Martinis all the way with Grey Goose. Margaritas or ice cold beer on hot days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Grey Goose & tonic with an orange slice, Patron Anejo with orange slice dredged in cinnamon sugar, sake, champagne, scotch neat/rocks, Cabernet...am I missing anything? Probably🤣 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Chopin or better potato vodkas, rocks. Ditto margs. Scotch/whiskeys get a little complicated. Something really peaty like Lagavulin, neat. Then it really becomes trial and error. If at a restaurant and trying a new whiskey, will ask for like three bar cubes of ice: won't make too watery, cold, get an idea which way to go in the future (neat vs rocks). If using some chilling device, the stones work well. Also the big ice balls/molds work great (really slow to melt). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Traditionally Scotch is supposed to have a splash of water to open the flavors. This is more true for the heavier, peatier malts. Try it sometime; first take a sip, then add a few drops and sip again. Very different from the watered down Scotch & water typically served in a bar; ask for water back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I often make one drink (about 2oz or 75ml) last all evening. I drink for taste, not to mess with my brain. I smoke (cigars) for the same reason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 i drink scotch with a splash or two cubes of ice. However, Martinis (gin) I keep premade (12 to 1) in the freezer. I like margaritas shaken with ice then up with salt.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2017 Maybe it is my Commerce City upbringing, but I am sitting here, at this very moment, drinking a fine scotch, straight out of the bottle - no glass, no ice, and certainly no water. My favorite way. Well.... actually my favorite way is to be passing it around a campfire, but this is second best. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2017 Don't drink anymore....well rarely, but, when I did, Tequila straight, warsteiner beer. Now an occasional glass of moscato. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2017 Moscato is one of my favorites to drink right before bed. Jameson with coke at the bar is good too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2017 I've gotten in a Bloody Mary kick lately. Tito's vodka and Mr. & Mrs. T's mix. Tullamore Dew is my go to whiskey although I do enjoy a wee dram of The Balvenie scotch from time to time. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2017 I am fruity...seldom drink. Sangria, rootbeer floats with Bailey's & home made ice cream. I am very much a whimp when it comes to drinking. I can never finish a glass or mug if alcohol is in it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I'll have to say ... The better quality of alcohol. . the less hanger you will have, with far less hanger you have. Good vibes xo Edited June 29, 2017 by Sexielexy Spelling errors 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2017 Makers Mark whiskey with just about any kind of soda. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2017 Don't spoil Makers with soda. Should be taken on the rocks. You use soda with something like "Ol Stump Blower". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Hmmmmm, methinks there be more then a few whiskey /scotch snobs here. (Including myself) Although I have been sampling the various martinis. And I like them also. But a good whiskey has my heart always. BTW, scotch has been making white men dance since 1454 A.D. Edited June 30, 2017 by Jez UaBriain 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
