Mmmm.... cheese.

I am so sorry. I had to put whiskey in my old fashioned... I ran out of brandy.
I much prefer whiskey to brandy, anyway.
I like 'em both but, yeah, my norm is whiskey.

I am not a craft beer guy at all. Anyone ever check out the beer advocate website? If you are are talking about mouth feel of a beer you are drinking, just stop and go comb your beard.
:lol:

...and make sure your man bun is wound tight.

I don't have a man bun, but my beard does need a combing. And a beer without a good mouthfeel isn't worth drinking. You won't catch me drinking a light beer unless I'm so far beyond f'd up that I don't know I'm doing it.

I like a light beer as an all day drinking beer, beer is best enjoyed for the period of time it takes the ice cubes to melt a little in your whiskey tumbler.

Interesting. Haven't tried it, but do like the Kirkland spiced rum which is crazy cheap. It is more "syrupy" though.

Ron has like a little vanilla-e flavor to it.


Awesome with cherry Vanilla Coke or even just cherry coke if you can’t find the former.

I've tried that Skrewball Whiskey. It's not bad. A little sweet for my taste and it's not something I'd give up my Gentleman Jack for, but it's different and it's fun for doing a shot or six with people who aren't necessarily whiskey drinkers.

Why minus the mint? Mint is great for a refreshing summer drink.

Speaking of refreshing, I've been mixing a can of Mango seltzer with a small can of coconut water, a splash of lime juice and then literally as much gin or vodka as you want (if gin, I usually add mint). It's dangerously strong, light, and feels like a tropical island without all the sugar of rum and fruit juice drinks (not that coconut water doesn't have some sugar; just less). I'm not worried about carbs or calories, more hangover prevention.

And yes, I'm using a mug big enough for two cans and then generally 4 shots of liquor; you can half it if your containers are small.

It's very sweet. Almost too much for me too.

Shots? Maybe in my twenties. Man, I don't think I could even do two of them without wanting to die. :lol:
