You know, I used to detest Coors light and PBR, and only drank craft beers, mostly hefes. Now that I'm older I really enjoy a nice Coors at the end of a hard day....and others groan at me for wasting money on cheap beer.
as my grandson says,
"whatever"
You just gotta poke that bear, eh?
Last night was Basil Hayden's bourbon, on the rocks. A surprisingly good distillation, for the price.
I haven't had a bourbon worth drinking neat since I lived in NC five years ago. Most cocktails, such as an old fashioned, became popular during prohibition because most available booze was basically "white lightning" and didn't have any good flavor. I do like an old fashioned with Makers, but that's about the point I start preferring them on the rocks, or neat for the good stuff. A nice old peaty scotch neat is one of my favorites. Maybe a splash of water if I'm feeling froggy.
I'm also a big fan of dirty martinis, but hate the stupid glasses they come in. It's a good way to make some Absolut (or whatever) into something palatable. I am a bit sacrilegious and hate gin. Even the smell of gin makes my stomach turn. I can't fathom how people can drink it in anything other than cocktails with sweet syrups.
