Mixed Drinks

JD is some FINE whiskey.

If you're poor, sure.

bingo. yahtzee.

If you had ever tasted really GOOD whiskey, you'd know that JD was NOT really fine... even if you were forced, by economic hardship, to drink it.

I don't always drink mixed drinks but when I do it's always a bloody mary, made from scratch.

I have been known to have a gin and tonic every once in a while too, or a rum and coke. I once drank almost an entire bottle of rum mixing them with coke, they're dangerous. My wife was like "you ready for rehab now?" - I'm like "no $#@!, it's almost gone?", I couldn't believe it.

Lol, my tolerance for rum and coke is off the charts. I think the coke really offsets the rum because it takes an awful lot of it to get me drunk. Wine on the other hand, gets me drunk faster, but I actually prefer it - not because I want to get drunk, but because it's more natural.

I agree. JD is good for killing a cold. My ex drank Chivas Regal Royal Salute a very smooth aged scotch. I always enjoyed a shot of Drambuie, a very, very smooth scotch liqueur. JD burns too much going down.

It's not my favorite, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate it.

I'm not a big bourbon fan. Occasionaly I'll take a shot or two of woodford reserve or knob creek, but those are about the only two I can tolerate. I find Irish whiskey, like tullamore dew to be much smoother.

For all the other alcohol enthusiasts out there - I bought myself a bottle of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey (I'm poor, I get what I can afford) and decided to try it with A&W Root Beer, the kind with aged vanilla. The aged vanilla of the root beer mixed very well with the honey of the whiskey.

that sounds horrible.

[Green Arrow]

that sounds horrible.

It does, but it really isn't. Like I said, the vanilla of the A&W and the honey of the Jack Daniels provides a bridge that nicely blends the two drinks.

Right now I'm on my third Harvey Wallbanger. I live on the water. There's a park by my house with a community 4th of July party going on now. A live band playing the Allman Bros "Ramblin Man". Not bad at all.
