Tequila. Almost solely tequila. Of course, I’m a strict hard-liquor man, I drink coffee non-stop all day, and tequila non-stop all night, so your enjoyment may vary…
For those of you who love Kahlua, they just came out with Kahlua Especiale (sp?) which is the same thing…only richer, darker, and stronger. (Same proof as rum.)
Tastes like heaven on the rocks, and makes a White/Black Russian just a lil’ more fun.
Try a mellow bourbon such as Old Crow or Jim Beam with Faygo Diet Ginger Ale. I use a ratio of 2 parts bourbon to 5 parts Ginger. If you can afford it, Knob Creek bourbon is well worth the extra money. If you need some more bite in the ginger ale, try Vernor’s Diet. Chin chin!
You know, it amazes me sometimes the number of drink threads we get around here. Being a bartender, though, it makes me feel…like I’m at work.
All that aside, if I’m relaxing by myself, I love a good scotch on the rocks. Or, if you wanna dip your cigar in it, then take it neat. Either way is acceptable. Just remember: YOU MUST SIP if it’s over $10 a shot, IMHO.
