    Normally a beer guy and have always like Jack Daniels, but over the last 9 months or so, Manhattans have moved to the top of the list. Started making them with Jack and equal parts of sweet/dry vermouth and have recently started using Bulleit Rye. My perfect Manhattan:

    2 oz Bulleit Rye
    0.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
    6 dashes of Fee's Brother Old Fashioned Bitters <-- Don't use Angostura,use these
    1 tsp of cherry juice

    Stay away from the neon red maraschino cherries, there are better ones out there.

    So, what's your favorite drink?

    I've become a huge fan of Crown Maple, straight up.

    Mixed drink wise, it's hard to beat a good Margarita or Long Island Tea imo.

    I just play one on the internet.


    Just so you don't think I'm totally crazy, I do have a liter and a half of regular Crown and a liter of Crown Black.

    I'll go for beer usually but I like a Jack/coke or maybe a shot of straight Jack or about any other similar, and a good margarita, and a glass of good red wine (preferably a nice chianti), and Mtn Dew for those times when alcohol isn't an option.

    Have you tried any Rye's yet? Bulleit is great, Redemption is pretty good.... want to try some Whistlepig, but the shit is expensive.

    3oz Rye (Bulleit's good)
    3/4oz simple syrup
    2-3 dashes of Peychaud Bitters
    absinthe (rinse the glass then discard)
    Lemon Twist
