I’ll just sip on a water and be designated driver. I can get drunk later

Tests bar by ordering an old fashioned. Receives old fashioned with muddled cherry/orange and several ice cubes. ಠ_ಠ
That plus soda water on top.
Boycott American booze.
I bought a bottle of Rabbit Hole Dareringer before Trump got elected. Very decent stuff. But now I’m boycotting bourbon until America comes to its senses.
I just bought a case (6) of Green Spot and a case of Redbreast. I’ll make it.
What’s her problem?
Me, no longer drinking bourbon and drinking rye: I’m ok with this.
In my experience, places with lousy bourbon selection have even worse rye selection.
Please let me know what the good Bourbon brands are, so that I don’t look like a noob next time I order a Manhattan and the bartender asks me what Bourbon I want in it, I just saw Bulleit on the shelf and blurted that out
Bulleit is my go-to for cocktails at a bar. It’s a fine flavor, widely available, and not too expensive. If you’re ordering a cocktail you really don’t need anything too nice because you’re masking/blending the flavor with others. Buffalo Trace is my other go-to for the same reasons there.
Getting a nice bourbon neat, well, that’s usually so expensive at a bar I’ll only get it if the company is paying 😅
Woodford Reserve is my go to. More expensive but I tend to drink bourbon forward cocktails (Manhattan) so I want to taste good bourbon.
My favorite cocktail is an old fashioned. Depending on the bar, bourbon won’t be the biggest differentiator. Some places hurt my soul and use too much simple syrup and make it too sweet. Others put a bunch of small ice cubes which quickly melt and that’s not great either. Woodford is solid and widely available. I can’t remember the last time I haven’t had that stocked at home 😊
Me with negronis. My home bar is too good and cheap so I often just drink a beer instead
Real tho
