Whats everyone drinking tonight?

[Rampage]

Doing some old fashioneds with Maker’s.

It’s not even noon so I know without a doubt tomorrow will suck

[Marc G]

mmmmmm and old fashioned sounds like a solid idea....... never was a fan using bourbon for old fashions... too sweet.....I do have some Michter's Rye in the bar..... think that might be a great idea later....

[Rampage]

Man after my own heart! I always start with bourbon then transition to rye. To be honest I just go from a nicely mixed old fashioned to straight rye as the day wears on

[Marc G]

I love a good rye...but.... IMO good ones hard to find since I"m not a big liquorice fan and I find so many have that as a prominent flavour....I really like the Michter's, Cody Road had one I really liked and Whistle Pig was nice but I found for the price it wasn't worth it and Bullet is cool for mixing but too harsh for sipping IMO..... I do like high rye content Bourbons as well.. so Wild Turkey, is a favourite... haven't tried their Rye offering as yet though....

[K-Bizzle]

Heineken 0.0 because trying to be sober for a little bit right now.

[neilrocks25]

Jim Beam Double oak, I am cheap but I like it.

Michter's us fantastic. Wild Turkey is solid for how cheap it is. Templeton 4 year is great and 6 year is even better.

Bought rye a few times to make Manhattans and Sazeracs...
Jim Beam, Bullet 95, Corsair Ryemageddeon all did job. Going to have to grab a bottle of Michters!!!

That Ryemaggedon may be good, but I'd give it a pass just because of the pretentious label. All three of them look like self-important dicks

cracked open a bottle of this Sunday night..... not amazing... but not terrible either for a basic bitch scotch and for the price I'm not complaining... this has quickly become my "I have friends over and I want a drink that I'm not going to sit and savor, just put ice an go"

EXACTLY!!!


I have Whiskies that I drink for the pure enjoyment of drinking them.... then I have beaters that are there for everything else lol

[nightflameauto]

Local place was clearing out some Bone Dry Gin. I've never tasted "good" gin so decided to give it a shot.

I'm fairly impressed. First sip I was thinking "this would make an excellent martini, too bad I don't have any vermouth at the moment."

Then I read the back of the bottle. Apparently during the vermouth shortage during the war Winston Churchill would pour some dry gin in a glass, bow towards France and consider that his vermouth. I ed and tossed in a couple olives.

sometimes you just gotta make it work with what you got... lol

The original martini recipe, from the 1920's or 30's called for gin and sweet vermouth.
At one point, I was using Hendrick's Gin and Port Wine... makes an amazing beverage.

MMmm. Port.

I've been known to toss port into cocktails here or there. There's a brand I get at the local store that's so sweet it's practically chocolate flavor that makes an excellent addition to a manhattan.
