Coke (Mexican or Vanilla)
Lime (actual lime or a little lime juice)

Generally I would go for a nice bourbon or an aged rum, though. Both neat, the bourbon at room temperature and the rum chilled.

If it's chilled it's not neat. It's up.

i am actrually drinking a martinni with bluecoat gin right now, i like to use a martinii to do bong rips through as well, i make two.

>>3928224
I generally prefer bombay sapphire or hendrick's. Or maybe 'genevieve' gin from the anchor distilling company. Not knocking your taste at all, it's a preference and thus 100% subjective.

>>3928244

i like bombay and london's dry gin as well

not talkin regular here but no ten, regular is just ok

>>3928245
No.10 is indeed excellent gin, I certainly wouldn't disagree with that.

Either JD or Canadian Classic

Generally, I like peaty whiskies, like Laphroaig or Ardbeg. I'm also a big fan of Talisker.

However, Highland Park is great stuff when I'm not in the mood for peat. Now I just need a good sherried whisky.

What are some good, smooth "honey-y" whiskeys?

my friend who likes to show off gave me grand marnier in fine crystal, It had a nice flavor I guess but it was so harsh that nothing about drinking it was enjoyable.

>>3928272
Ardbeg all day.

>drinking alcohol makes you sophisticated
itt 16 year old tastes general etc.

I usually try to match a beer to my dinner. The late evening sometimes involves a small tumbler (about 5 oz capacity) a third full of whatever liquor I have on-hand. Sometimes I fill it a couple of times, but often that's all I want before I crawl into the linens.

All day, erry day.

pastis with champagne

Martinis. I particularly like dirty martinis, with a touch more vermouth than is probably considered proper. For the gin, I go back and forth between beefeater and bombay.

Just picked up a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel myself. I like pretty strong drinks.

Red wine. But if we're talking spirits, then I'll sometimes go for a nice scotch. Macallan is one of my favorites but unfortunately it's expensive as fuck. I love Crown though, especially the reserve.

An Old Fashioned, with Johnnie Walker Black Label. Can't afford much more, and I like the subtle smokiness a scotch adds to this drink as opposed to bourbon.

This.

I don't know where the hell it is getting advertised, but this kracken rum is neckbeard central. I've lost count of the numbers of parties I've attended where there has been a spotty scrotum in a fedora clutching a bottle of the stuff. Said spotty scrotum always turns out to be a massive sperglord.

Drinking is about what you like. Fuck all this mental pollution regarding 'classy' or 'manly' or anything like that. Food is usually the foundation of which drink selection is based upon, so think about that one.

That way, you kind of get to drink how you are supposed to be drinking, instead of how the industry promoting drinking wants you to be drinking. IE much more than we ever have before.

Feel horribly weeaboo for saying it here.

Chivas Regal, motherfuckers

no brewdog? what is wrong with you people

Gagging on scotch while posting on 4Chan is definitely not sophisticated

>>3930601

>brewdog
>for gentlemen

wat. also their shit's gone downhill yo. went to their bar in camden and their beers on tap were pretty dull. bottles don't taste how they used to either.

the libertine black ale is bangin though

Recently moved to Bordeaux and there is some decent brandy but it's ridiculously expensive so I generally settle for a nice red.

Pessac-Léognan seems to be one of the best price to quality ratios I've found so far.

>>3930618
still tastes how it usually does up in edinburgh

anarchist alchemist is another good one

>>3930626

not tried that, looks interesting.

how prominent is the alcohol? noticed that it's a bit harsh and up-front in their hardcore IPA

>>3930634
its hard to explain. there's definetly some whiskey like notes though. really enjoyable to drink but its £5 a nip

>>3930626
looks more like a bock than IPA.

>>3930645

might give it a punt, the colour is incredible. diggin' whisky-beer crossovers atm. had a whisky barrel aged doppelbock from a brewpub in canterbury recently, just beyond words

>>3930655
agreed

I'm more into the Irish whiskey

Crate of VB, I always feel like a rich cunt after going to Centrelink ey

>>3930683

>not drinking XXXX

seriously? no mikkeller up in this b?

shame on all of you.

college student here, so i don't have the super pricey things, but here's what i enjoy
-jameson and ginger
-irish coffee (made with 4 parts coffee, 2 parts jameson, 2 parts sugar, 1 part bailey's, and whipped cream)
-single malt scotch on the rocks (my current bottle is the glenlivet 12 year, a nice entry level single malt)
- and now, the yoko kanno (drunken moogle bullshit, yes, but rather tasty. 1.5 oz rye whiskey, 1 oz sake, .5 oz cointreau, splash of bitters)
and if i can enjoy a cigar at the same time, it's a good night.

>>3930845

I tried a lot of their stuff when I was in Amsterdam, have you tried their sour beer? I didn't even know you could do that until I tried it.

To answer the OP Pappy Van Winkle 15yr Bourbon, I have not had the good fortune yet to try the 20 yr, occasionally I'll mix in a 1\3 of root beer or sarsaparilla.

>>3931011
>mixing PV's
YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.

DON'T TELL OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT IT, IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO FIND. AND DON'T MIX IT, GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO LOVES BOURBON INSTEAD.

DELETE YOUR POST YOU SATANIC CUNT-FACE! THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW.

>>3931038

I put in the smallest amount, I'd recommend doing a taste test sometime. Just get some good sarsaparilla and put in a small amount and then try them both, you'll still get the wonderful layers of taste but with a touch of the edge taken off.

That being said, more days than not the edge is most welcome.

>>3931050
please delete your post where you mention the name

other people will buy it because they've heard about, or simply because it is rare

please don't say the name, i have such trouble finding it now

>>3931064

What country are you from? I live in England and while usually in small supply there are two or three really good shops that stock it.

>>3928244

Dyomahgahd, I LOVE Hendricks Gin. Makes the best G&Ts, and it's so darn crisp chilled it's great.

If not Gin, then Aberlour Single Malt, or 10 Cane rum with some ice.

>>3930623
Go north a bit and get Jean Ballouett Sparkling Cognac - ace for breaking the ice at parties. Keep the bottles in the freezer. His 20 year old Cognac is awesome as well and not expensive.

Tea.

>>3931106
Sorry, balluet

Any wine barrel scotch
Nice oaky single barrel burbon
Cognac that isn't named hennesy/courvoisier

All neat and served in an 8oz snifter (glass of choice)

>>3931124
Oh also
Any good American sour beer (Russian River, Lost Abbey, etc.) or a good belgian sour (Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, etc) in a teku. These things are fucking awesome.

>>3931075
I'm in America. Where it's made. I swear I've hit every store in half of Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, part of Wisconsin, and any place along the interstate connecting those places.

Ever since Whiskey Magazine ran a review on it, I haven't been able to find anything other than the 10 year rye, and that was their last bottle a year ago 600 miles from me.

Please just delete that one post dude. Don't say the name. People who don't drink good bourbon will purchase it. Don't force me to pay for Jefferson Reserve.

How do I into alcohol?

>>3931173
avoid stuff that will fuck you up and make you sick.
get a 6 pack of nice beers, a bottl of wine, have a few gin and tonics.
drink like a civilised person and avoid shots

I tend to pee on my hands when I'm drunk, so class and alcohol don't mix for me.

Bombay sapphire martini, really dry, shaken, two olives.
