What is your favorite kind of liquor?

[VoltaireAmericain]

Well, currently I am treating myself to a 1.75 L of Jack Daniels and I must say it is a very smooth whiskey. I've been mixing my drinks with coca-cola and this seems to be a great cocktail.

[opiate69]

1. Maker's Mark

[VoltaireAmericain]

2. I have never had that

I do like how they drip wax over the bottle for design -- like an old fashioned whiskey bottle.

[opiate69]

5. Excellent stuff..

a little spendy, so I usually only get it when I'm feeling like I deserve to be spoiled. (otherwise, I go with Black Velvet or R&R).. but since you're obviously a bourbon kind of guy (or lady, as the case may be), I think you'd like it.. it's a little bit sweeter than JD but not nearly as sweet as Southern Comfort.

[underpants]

38. Maker's is a step above Beam and Jack but Blanton's is bottled heaven

VERY pricey that stuff.

I am a Beam guy.

[Nevernose]

23. Ouch.

Maker's Mark BURNS. BURNS like an exorcism...

[Dragonbreathp9d]

40. best bourbon for the price

[fizzgig]

3. sailor jerry's spiced rum

mixed with coke....drooooool

i'll never say no to vodka, tho

[VoltaireAmericain]

7. Would you say no to Phillips' Vodka?

[fishwax]

30. I just tried that for the first time back in May

it was good stuff :toast:

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Hard to narrow down...

Bourbon: Rowan's Creek, Woodford Reserve
Scotch: Oban, Isle of Jura, Abelour
Rum: Cruzan, Myer's
Gin: Bombay Sapphire, Rangpur, Damrak
Tequila: Padron, Don Eduardo
Brandy: Tesseron, Hennessy

[VoltaireAmericain]

6. I haven't heard of those before

I am young in the game however, because I turned 21 last month.

[EstimatedProphet]

19. OK. Well, they're all really good!

[pokerfan]

8. Canadian whisky

[fishwax]

31. that used to be my very favorite drink, preferably dropped in a glass of beer

ahh, boilermakers. :toast: Now that football season's about to roll around, I suppose I'll have to get in the habit again :)

[Robeson]

9. Tequila.

[MissMillie]

34. word (n/t)

.

[Initech]

10. Jack Daniels, Sauza Tres Generaciones, Absolut Vodka

All 3 are premium spirits. As for tequila, I love Patron, but I think it's kind of overrated. Tres Generaciones (or 3 G's as I prefer to call it) is far superior.

[Inchworm]

11. In the front

:hi:

[some guy]

12. Like you

I drink Jack Daniel's. :hi:

Unlike you, I don't ruin it by polluting it with soda pop. :puke:

Welcome to DU anyway (even though you don't know how to drink :P )

[VoltaireAmericain]

15. Give me a good drink with Jack right now!

[some guy]

17. Jack Daniel's +

ice, + a glass.

But only because it's summer.

Jack Daniel's + a glass is the best.

Happy sipping. :pals:

tips -

The first whiskey of the night: pour the glass. Take a fairly large first sip, let it sit on your tongue for 15-20 seconds, then swallow. The rest of the night, the whiskey will go down very smoothly.

If you're drinking it neat, your body will want to stop after the equivalent of 5 or 6 doubles.

If you're drinking it over ice - when it starts to go down as easy and quick as water - it's time to stop.

[VoltaireAmericain]

20. ohhhhhhh

I tried your recipe.....and my oh my am I drunk.....I have a pretty high tolerance now....which is not as fun because I liked getting drunk off only a few glasses of whiskey, but now I gotta just keep them coming, one after the other.

Anyway, do you drink other whiskey's straight? Cheaper brands?

[some guy]

28. I drink all whiskey

straight or on ice. I don't usually drink blended whiskeys, but I will if that's what's offered.

However, since I started with Jack Daniel's, that is what whiskey is "supposed" to taste like to me. So the further from that particular taste a whiskey is, the less I tend to like it. Irish and Scotch whiskeys get pretty far away, so I rarely drink those.

[w8liftinglady]

13. rum/diet coke and cherry-lime energy drink-awesome

only took me 4 minutes to type this.

[deucemagnet]

14. I rarely stray from my preferred beverage (beer), but when I do

it's usually Bombay Sapphire and tonic, any decent bourbon with gingerale, or, on rare occasions, a shot of Crown Royal. :9

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. I've been on a bourbon kick lately

Can't beat a glass of Maker's Mark on the rocks. I also like vodka, Grey Goose and Ketel One are among my favorites

[jgraz]

26. Have you tried Booker's?

That's the best bourbon I've tried -- unfiltered and uncut, usually checks in around 121 proof.

[VoltaireAmericain]

27. 121 proof......Jeeee Whizzzz

[jgraz]

33. It's some real sippin whiskey

Of course, you can also cut it with water to get a fantastic 80-proof bourbon. But you should try it uncut at least once.

[Seashell Eyes]

18. Grand Marnier

Wish it wasn't so expensive

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. Drambui, without question. Straight. The golden fire...

Welcome to DU, by the way!

[VoltaireAmericain]

22. Jack Daniel's has been very good to me tonight.

[jgraz]

24. I loves me a good rye whiskey

Black Maple Hill 18yr. Can't beat it. Except maybe with the 23 yr.

[Tektonik]

25. vodka that doesn't make me vomit

:9

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

29. Whatever seems to be within

reach, especially at 0200

[fishwax]

32. white russians and black russians, and a few variations thereof

I like White Russians for a nightcap--2 shots of vodka, a shot of kahlua, and milk (or cream, if you're a purist) to taste. If I'm having a few drinks for the evening, I like a Black Russian--traditionally vodka and kahlua, though I add that to pepsi or coke. It's good stuff. :toast:

The Colorado Bulldog, which tastes great but which I haven't had in a while, mixes Vodka, Kahlua, Milk, and Coke. (It sounds a bit disgusting, but it's tasty :9 )

Welcome to DU! :toast:

[gr8dane_daddy]

35. If you're into vodka....I recommend Austin's own Tito's

Pretty good vodka.

[Burma Jones]

36. Tequila, specifically Herradura Silver

[bigwillq]

37. Beer

:) :beer:

I really only like beer...I do shots but I don't really have a favorite kind of liquor...if I had to choose then maybe Malibu Rum. :shrug:

[Dragonbreathp9d]

39. Lagavulin

[kwassa]

41. The Macallan

[redqueen]

42. Used to be vodka...

but I had some kind of bottled sweet gin drink on the 4th, and it was really tasty.

[lost-in-nj]

43. I'm a beer drinker

with a glass of wine thrown in the mix....
really never got into the hard stuff....

every once in a while I pop a bottle of Champagnae,.......



lost

[LynneSin]

44. Herradura Anejo: The rest is just piss water

Seriously

[BrotherBuzz]

45. Unlicensed, untaxed Grappa

[maxsolomon]

46. Cognac

currently enjoying Kvint White Swan XO brandy from Moldova.

what a bargain!

[Dr_Funkenstein]

47. My Favorite Kind Is...

Consumed...enjoying vodka and Pepsi Jazz, caramel cream.

[GRLMGC]

48. I like vodka

but it can go very wrong. I do odd jobs for this lady for extra money and she has me clean her mirrors with rubbing alcohol. The smell makes me somewhat queasy because I have flashbacks of drunken nights with bad vodka and the sickness that follows.

However, I'm always up for a good vodka.

Rum is okay in certain things like mojitos. Mmmmm, mojito...

[yellowdogintexas]

49. the only cocktail I really like is a good Margarita

so I would have to say Tequila.

However I also enjoy a good gin and tonic occasionally.

[LostInAnomie]

50. Cutty Sark & about any type of good dark rum

I'm not a big fan of clear liquors.

[triguy46]

51. Free.

[astral]

52. Kahlua

. . . last time I checked.

[DainBramaged]

53. When I used to drink sour mash, I thought JD was swill

George Dickle white label or Jim Beam black label. REAL blue collar whiskeys.

[VoltaireAmericain]

54. hell yeah ,mon homme

Jack Daniels

[Fox Mulder]

55. Everclear.

190 proof.

[fudge stripe cookays]

56. Bailey's on the Rocks

I'm old now. Can't drink the hard stuff. It's always nice to get smashed on something that reminds me of chocolate milk.

Especially when I have to fly when it's turbulent. It makes the thought of crashing seem... not quite so horrifying.

[Contrary1]

57. Hard to pick a favorite...but I love

on the rocks.

Unfortunately, all I have on hand is vodka and beer. Will it get me through the 3+
hours the Big Dick is in charge?
