    Fuck anybody for suggesting that Jack and Coke is an acceptable option. Buffalo Trace and Coke is acceptable. Bulleit and Coke is acceptable. Really anything worth a damn is acceptable. Jack is fucking worthless.

    Manhattan's are great if you like vermouth and martini glasses. I'm not a huge fan of either.

    Of the list, I'm much more likely to go with a good old fashioned. They are solid if done right ... terrible if done wrong.

    I'm generally good with Whiskey Sours if you remove the egg whites ... eggs aren't my general favorite.

    I'm largely out when it comes to ginger beer ... it's just something that over time I've gradually moved away from.

    And for those wondering, my new whiskey of choice outside of the Buffalo Trace and Bulleit realm is Clyde Mays ... fucking outstanding.

    Also, if you can find it, Blanton's is the shit. Pappy Van Winkle is life changing.

    Jack and Coke is synonymous with whiskey and coke. Yes, Jack is shit and the others you mention are better but it’s the same idea.

    Blanton’s is amazing and I’ve gone through many gallons of it over the years. Never had Pappy yet.

    I do like Hot Toddys when I’m sick, and Mint Juleps in the Summer, but Manhattans win narrowly over an Old Fashioned (which I actually make more with brandy because of all my Wisconsin relatives).

    Thanks for the tip on the Penicillin cocktail @Dennis_DeYoung. I’ll give it a try.

    My Manhattans are mostly whisky, very little vermouth. Lots o ango bitters, the most expensive cherries I can find.

    They aka Panty Droppers. Chicks dig them.

    I like about 3 to 1 on whiskey to vermouth. Ango bitters for #metoo.

    I suggest we find a place w Pappy’s and discuss what other BS bracket we can come up with ...
