What’s your go to mixed drink?

I like a good gin and tonic every now and then, but my go to is always a rye Manhattan. Old Forester rye is a great rye for making one at about $22 a bottle. 

I’m simple. Bourbon old fashioned or basic margarita. 

My dad and late grandfather were regular Manhattan drinkers at family gatherings. I had a not so good experience with them one Xmas eve and I’ve avoided them ever since. 

I rarely have a mixed drink, but when I do it's usually a vodka soda or a Moscow Mule. I don't drink at my house unless we're doing a Friday Zoom happy hour, and even then it's just beer, seltzer or champagne. 

Bourbon on the rocks...if Im feeling fancy, Old Fashioned.

If its a scorching summer day, and I feel like drinking before, say, 4pm. I'll make a Margarita. Heavy on the patron, light on the Tres Agaves mix, 3 whole limes. Salted rim and about 1/3 of a Jalapeno sliced and mixed in (seeds included) for spice.

Back in my drinking days, Bombay martini extra dry, up.

Bourbon neat, or with a splash of water if barrel strength, is my drink of choice, for sure. 

Scotch, neat, non blended, aged 10 years.

Back in my drinking days, about 2 fists of cheap scotch.  

It's probably been five years since I've had anything other than beer or a margarita. Gin and tonic was my go to back in the day.

Vodka and whatever I have to mix it with is my go to. Gin and tonics in the summer when it’s super hot out. Like a good marg and whiskey/bourbon now and then. A restaurant in town has something called a game changer (painkiller) that is a frozen slushie and it’s definitely my favorite restaurant drink. 

Old Fashioned. 

Orange peel, sugar cube, half ounce of water, bitters. Muddle that together. Add ice ball. 2-3 ounces of bourbon, and an orange peel to garish. Perfection. 

My others are usually a Manhattan or a Gin Martini.  

So many margarita drinkers on here. Never would have guessed.
