yeah I eat rear end posted:jack daniels is such a lovely choice at that price point. Give me jim beam or even evan williams over that stuff any day, tastes better and saves me money. Yeah has JD always been this expensive? I can get 2 handles of Evan for the price of one JD it feels like right now. I got to spend Xmas day at a mixology demonstration, and ended up having half of the demonstration drinks passed down to me after everyone had their sips, because nobody liked real drinks that consisted of 90% spirits. A good Xmas.

Old fashioned is a great standby. New York sours are good if made right.

It's like the go-to liquor for people who never drink and think it's "fancy"/cool, similar to patron for tequila. You are only paying for the name and a mediocre product.

I liked on Bar Rescue how they would constantly repeat how Smirnoff is a premium spirit and is a vodka to be treated with the utmost respect

To be fair you have to have a very sophisticated palate to understand the Negroni. The flavor is extremely subtle and without a solid grasp of theoretical mixology most Negronis will go straight over the typical drinkers tongue. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of flavors to realize they’re not just bitter- they say something deep about LIFE. And yes, by the way, I DO have a Negroni tattoo. No, you can’t see it. Nothing personnel, kid

It's why if I ever order a rusty nail I do it quietly out of shame in case people think i'm trying to be trendy or whatever. also as a side note if you order something and the bartender has to look up what it is, just order beer or liquor+mixer there.

Also the rusty nail is great because it is hard to really gently caress up

We were eating at the bar in a Longhorn Steakhouse once and the guy sitting next to us ordered a dry martini. When he ordered he clearly stated his gin preference and asked for two olives. The bartender still had to look it up and then proceeded to make him a vodka martini that was like half vermouth. No olive.

Woodford Reserve rye is really good. I’ve been trying it in anything I used to make with bourbon and it’s been a nice change of pace.

Pro tip: topping your drink off with champagne or replacing the soda with champagne makes it a "royale".

I once saw and tried a "mojito royale" that was exactly that: mojito with champagne instead of soda water. Big mistake.
