Out of these options, which is your favorite type of spirit?

For just sipping neat or on the rocks, I like single malt Scotch. My favorite is Glenmorangie, but I’m not very picky.

As for as mixed drinks go, I’m fine with a Captain Morgan and Diet Coke or a vodka and cranberry.

Vodka. It’s the tofu of alcohol- it just absorbs the flavor of whatever mixer I use. Can’t stand gin. Rum is nice while on vacation, but getting drunk on it is often vomit-inducing. A rye in ginger is nice once in a while, but both whisky and brandy are too strong for me to drink straight. Tequila… haven’t had that since school.

Flavored Vodka.

Gin as a second.

Are we talking straight? None of them.

Brandy – I don’t think I’ve had it
Gin – out in any form because I used to love it but then got sick on it a couple of times.
Rum – if disguised in a mixed drink, otherwise I don’t like the taste
Tequila – never had it
Vodka – OK in a mixed drink
Whisky – maybe in a whiskey sour, but straight it makes me nauseous
Other – Bailey’s, Kahlua, Campari, Amaretto

Straight? None of them. Mixed? Gin and Tonic - Tanqueray and Schweppes with a fresh lime.

  1. Bourbon

  2. Rum

Whiskey - I divide my attention about evenly among bourbon, scotch, and rye. I pretty much always have a bottle of one of them in the house.
Gin - a distant second, but I like a martini sometimes
The others on your list I rarely drink. I have a margarita maybe twice a year.

drinking straight?

Tequila (100% agave)
Whiskey - (single malt Scotch)

In a mixer? Any one of them can apply - depends on my mood.

Brandy – In a brandy Manhattan (aka “Brown Mumbler”) is the only way.

Gin – I can do it straight if it’s Bombay Sapphire, otherwise hot summer days with tonic and a lime wedge please. Number two on my list.

Rum – My all time *least * favorite. At it’s worst it’s dry and antiseptic, and it’s best it’s too full of burnt sugary notes for me.

Tequila – I do like a sunrise from time to time, but my second least favorite really.

Vodka – Ok for bloody marys, otherwise what’s the point?

Whisky – Is the life of man. Always was since the world began. Far and away my favorite.

Other – Moonshine? :smiley:

Whiskey, particularly bourbon. Current favorite is Bulleit.

From the list: Rum rum rum! Specifically, Malibu and banana-orange juice.
In general: Midori and Sprite.

You’re such a girl. :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Bombay Sapphire Gin for martinis and the occasional G&T on a hot summer’s day.
Getting into single malts, slowly. Very nice on the palette, but hard on the wallet.

Rum is probably my favorite, then either gin or whiskey.

Depends a lot on the day and the circumstance.

Vodka. Can become just about anything.

Straight - single malt scotch

Mixed drinks - Gin, either in a dirty martini or G&T. Tequila in a margarita would be second

Vodka, as in vodka martini, followed by bourbon

The only one on the list I really don’t like at all is gin.

With Vodka, all things are possible.

Moved from IMHO to CS.

Tequila

More than anything, tequila.
