I’m a Scotch man. I like Aberfeldy 18, Balvenie single cask, and Kilchoman for my top 3.
I also love a Dubonnet Manhattan or a hazy IPA. Red over white wine, IMO
Personally I’m a big fan of Blue Moon, Sake and Rum.
Definitely like a blue moon. Real light and good flavor. Damn I kind of want one now.
I like bourbon, but I’m also cheap. Four Roses is my brand of choice!
I’m also a bourbon enjoyer. I like Elijah Craig a lot!
Four roses is pretty solid IMO.
I have alot of good local breweries nearby. I love Me a New England IPA or a Juicy/Hazy IPA basically.
For the hard stuff? A Vodka and Juice is my usual go to
Recently I’ve been all about the “Boulevardier.” It’s an adaptation of a Negroni. My preferred blend: Campari, Carpano Antiqua sweet vermouth, Rebel Bourbon and a splash of club soda over ice. A couple cherries or an orange twist if I’m feeling fancy.
Another great variation is to add a splash of aperol! (About 1/4/ to 1/3 oz). It mellows the bitterness of the compari just the perfect amount in my opinion.
That sounds delicious I gotta try it
My heart lies with Islay Scotches, Belgian Sours and South American Malbecs.
I am a simple man. Gin and tonic for me!
If you’ve got a nice collection of scotch, get a bottle of Drambuie (also technically scotch) to make the classic “Rusty Nail.” You’ll upset the scotch purists but delight your pallet
Much like The Dude, White Russians are my jam
Nothing like a good Old-Fashioned. One of the secrets is to singe the orange peel after it’s expressed over the glass before dropping in as a garnish and stirring - it adds a lovely smoky note to the drink.
Oooo, this sounds fantastic, I’m an old-fashioned fan myself. I’ll have to try this next time I make one. Thanks for the suggestion! 🍁
For sure, cheers!
I’m not very sophisticated, so I generally go for a beer. I like Modelo, Corona, Blue Moon, or Spotted Cow (WI Regional). Some of the Leinkugel’s seasonals are pretty good, for a while I was obsessed with their Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. Our local brewery/restaurant makes a milk stout that I get pretty much anytime we eat there.
Beer as bitter as I am.
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.
I like too many for a concise list.
I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality
Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way
For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.
I’ve tried the entry level ardbeg and it’s fantastic. I’ll have to check out the other two. Try Kilchoman if you haven’t. It’s also wonderful
Also Port Wines. It’s what we got into before started falling into the Whiskey rabbit hole
Jeppsons Malort with an absinthe chaser.
I like my taste buds how I like my wife. I DON’T HAVE A WIFE.
You had me at malort
I live in Colorado, where we have SUCH good local beer. Crystal Springs is a favorite.
I enjoy scotch, but I also don’t drink very often so I don’t get expensive stuff. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich 15 that’s good.
