On the rocks.

Yep.

[Telosfortelos]

I'm not suggesting it's my favorite or anything, but I had Green Chartreuse for the first time tonight and it was delicious. A little bit of anise, some mint, some spice, a little sweet but not too sweet. I just wish it weren't so expensive.

First I had it straight up, and then in a cocktail with honey, lime, egg white, and bitters.

[MissyElliottSmith]

HUGE fan of southern comfort, especially mixed with some Dr. Pepper.

Speaking of mixing with Dr. Pepper, I find the following goes very nicely:



151 is awesome! A friend of mine calls the mix Golden Gourmet. Aside from that, it also fun to use 151 to make Flaming Dr. Pepper. Good times...

I love Chartreuse. Herbal liqueurs are one of my biggest guilty pleasures. Strega and Benedictine are also some pretty good ones.

[Paertan]

I really like Rum these days. My favorite at the moment is Sailor Jerry


But I am also a fan of Tequila. Can´t remember the name of the one I have at home right now but it has a cool bottle =P Can´t drink Whiskey at all though. Will maybe try to learn to drink it someday.

[BakedPigeon]

Favorite Liquor - Jager, Jameson, Makers Mark, Patron

Favorite Cheap/Broke Liquor - Burnetts Vodka

[Martian]

Talisker 10 and Aberlour 12 are my favourite.


My least favourite is definetely anything like Sambuca. Everytime I smell it , I get nausues again.

[Coquette]

My least favourite is definetely anything like Sambuca. Everytime I smell it , I get nausues again.

Sambuca, Ouzo, Pastis, etc are all blech for me too. I don't understand how people LIKE anise flavored things...

I usually stick to rum, vodka, or tequila. I don't necessarily like whiskey straight but mixing it is good. I usually buy Maker's Mark for that. Oh it is good in Dr. Pepper too.

[Anteater]

Sake is my favorite (only when served warm), but they're often too expensive around here so I drink cheaper vodka.

[ClassyPenguin]

Not a huge liquor guy (stouts and red wine is more like it), but I've been greatly enjoying a bottle of Johnny Walker Black I got as a gift.

Sake is my favorite (only when served warm), but they're often too expensive around here so I drink cheaper vodka.

At a Japanese bar or sushi place yes, but bottles aren't that expensive at stores, or at least in SoCal.

Also, UV 103 is surprisingly smooth...the regular one is gross.

[TinMachine]

This. Like liquid velvet.

[Typhoon_Ex]

Vodka - Nemiroff Premium/Hammer & Sickle (always drink it with pickled veggies as a chaser)
Cognac - Remy Martin V.S.O.P. or X.O.

But usually beer is my drink of choice - Cristal or Guinness

[davidsaurus]

Baileys, cause it's makes everything delicious.

[questionmark]

adfghsfghsfgh

[Rollo Larson]

bourbon...usually jack

[Man Puncher]

This. Like liquid velvet.

For relaxing times, indeed. Just received a bottle of Nikka Taketsuru 17 Year old as a gift and whilst it is not as godly as Yamazaki 25 YO it is an excellent Japanese whiskey and one I would recommend.

Hennessy VSOP is a favourite 'everyday' cognac with XO reserved for special occasions.

Beer, wine, spirits - I'll drink just about anything so long as it is well made. Except tequila and gin. Nasty stuff no matter the pedigree in my opinion.


Secret shame drink - White Russian

[Erico]

Tanqueray.

makes the best gin & tonics

[shanshan310]

gin tastes like old socks

Gin tastes like GREAT.

[glaurung]

Ardbeg Supernova. I am yet to encounter a single malt that would taste any finer.

I've never tried the Yamazaki 25, but I did receive a small bottle of Taketsuru 17 as a gift as well. It's pretty fantastic stuff.

You take two parts:

and add one part:

Ginaronno

[Retro]

River Rose - holy shit, this gin was an eye opener. I actually got to sample this from their first batch on a tour a couple of weeks before they released it. Floral notes and very easy to drink straight. Makes for an amazing G&T, no need to garnish.

I'm interested, but they don't ship to my state. I would only be able to get this once a year when I visit my family in the Midwest, and even then I would have to drive to Chicago.

I am intrigued, as a rare awesome Gin with an awesome story behind it might be worth the trouble... hmmm.

[Canis lupus]

[GoldenEye 007]

Best scotch ever, and it also has a reasonable price. The bottle is really cool because it swings around, apparently made for boats and ships so that the boat's movement doesn't turn the bottle over.

I have a bottle of this from a friend, but I haven't touched it yet. I actually don't think I've had any type of scotch ever.

[Choke on the Magic]

Vodka- Absolut Whiskey- Buffalo Trace

Delicious especially for the price.

[G_Berry]

Bombay Sapphire. The Bombay Sapphire gin & tonic is glorious.

This.

[entrement]

Vodka is garbage. Worst liquor ever devised.

[Kwhit10]

Vodka - V-one. If you're a fan of vodka this stuff is the best thing I've had, it is extremely smooth. It may only be in the Northeast as of now though.

I enjoy Crown Royal for whiskey. Though I haven't felt the need to spend too much and try some higher end Whiskeys.

[Dark Octave]

Why does alcohol taste like ass to me? It baffles me how people can find the taste pleasing and even crave it. Sometimes I wish I could drink a little.

I guess it's a good thing that I can't.

[GoldenEye 007]

But then you can't make White Russians. :(

[Lazy Man's Wallpaper]

First pic of first post is correct answer, but any bourbon will do

[Shadybiz]

I have a love affair with Makers Mark. So good. TOO good, really....goes down so easy, it is not hard to have a bit too much on occasion.

[Micerider]

I won't go into Whisky territory (I LOOOOOooovveeeeee good whisky, but there is a dedicated thread already) but lately I've been amazed by this :



A really fine Grappa (barique, so not the white one) which turned out to be as refined and subbtle as a good "di Barrolo".

This one is much less famous as it's not distilled in a region known for Grappa (it comes from the "Bolzano" north-east italy, near Austria (Tyrol).

Really happy that one of the little shop I visited there proposed me to taste it when I was ready to pick a few bottles of "di Barrolo" (which is excelent still).

[Diseased Yak]

No love for Knob Creek?

Hell yes. I love this more than Maker's.

Having said that, my favorite drink is the afore-mentioned Lagavulin 16. Tastes like a peat moss fire in my mouth and makes me nostalgic for my native land. I'm also partial to Laphroaig and Oban, as well as Dewar's 16 when I'm in the mood for blended. JW Black is also a go-to.

[The Lamonster]

Maker's 46 is my fave.

[Impeccable]

Liquor is gross. It tastes bad and gives you so many unneeded calories.

Water all day here, and only water.

[Omegasquash]

Jameson 18 yr. Limited Reserve. Served neat. Damn fine going down.
Jameson 12 yr. ain't bad either. Both spend time in Sherry casks, if I'm not mistaken.

[EYEL1NER]

My favorite would be Soju.
After that I guess Crown or maybe Captain.

was waiting for this. Water is gross. It has no taste and doesn't get you drunk.

[Maklershed]

Thanks to this thread I bought a bottle of Bombay Sapphire and tonic water (chilling right now). Hopefully its good. I never had a gin & tonic before. Also, I purchased some Jack Daniels Honey and lemonade.

[Vilix]

When I can find a bottle in stock.

[Revenant]

Whiskey.

feels great 100 percent of the time, all the time.

[Zeppelin]

Gin. Preferably with tonic. Helps me dodge the malaria. Drunk on it as we speak.

[Bad_Boy]

southern comfort and lime juice. but not the premixed soco & lime.

[Half and half]

What have you tried?

Some alcohol does indeed taste like ass. Some taste like heaven.

[Rhomega Beta]

When I really splurge, I drink: I go straight when I drink this, with small chases of real sugar Coke between sips.

This is one of those things where I'm more interested in the bottle than the drink itself.

[BakedPigeon]

Makers Mark, OP got it right on the first picture. Liquor of gods.

[Fonz72]

UKgaf Find this - Love this!

It is NOT the Jameson gold sold in the US. Picked up a bottle in Ireland on my way home from Iraq.


Best damn blended scotch for the price - about $19 a bottle local. No need to church it up when having a drink after work.
