My liquor of choice is bourbon. Acquired the taste for it drinking Beam at games as a student. There was always Jim Beam and Captain Morgan at every tailgate so that's what everybody drank.
I like Makers Mark, Woodford, really like Angel's Envy, all of those are great for sipping on the rocks. Beam needs a splash of Coke.
My cocktail of choice is an Old Fashioned made with rye. Recently got a bottle of Basil Hayden rye and I'm dying to get into it.
I make a good Old Fashioned. I get an orange, peel off strips of the zest with a vegetable peeler, then wrap the strips in plastic wrap and freeze them for later use. Whenever I make an Old Fashioned, I get a couple of the strips out of the freezer. The flavor from the zest really makes the drink.
I asked for some luxardo cherries for Christmas but that fat fcuk Santa failed me again. Apparently, I was naughty last year.
Old Fashioneds have gotten so trendy, I think the prices on the cherries spiked because lots of folks got them for Christmas. Price went from under $20 for a jar to $40 for a jar.
Amazon has an offer of 4 jars for $65 but I don't need 4 jars and I don't have 3 classy friends with impeccable taste and with birthdays coming up. Oh, to have
@bradgator2 money and not have to worry about the cost of fancy Italian cherries
