    Drinks like Jack and Coke win out through Stockholm syndrome.

    Yeah, they are fucking awful but you have them so much during fun times you’re convinced that they are good on some level.

    Whiskey and soda is a go to for me at shitty bars (I love brandy and soda too; that gets everyone tight when you order it for some reason - people are like ‘what kind of fucking psycho orders a brandy and soda?’ - you want a weird reaction, try that shit at some busy bar... 70% of the time they will report you to security) - but it’s just like banging 2s off Grindr because you’re desperate.

    They aren’t real drinks. Saying a Jack and Coke and penicillin are in the same world is like saying the lesbian janitor at Ken Junior High that let my buddy Jason Shurman finger her in 9th grade year is on the same level as Racquel Welch.

    Old Fashioned
    I voted for Old Fashioned because that's what I call handjobs, and because that's what my whiskey drinking friends and wife enjoy. I think whiskey sucks dick.

    In South Africa Brandy and coke or Brandy and Sprite are the national drinks of choice. It took a while to win me over but brandy and coke will keep you up and partying. Still could never drink that much sugar very quickly so mampuru was the chaser to get a decent buzz. Even the guys working in the mines respected a guy that would sip on Mampuru. Highly recommend @Dennis_DeYoung to get and try some if you haven't already. It's very similar to moonshine but with a much smoother quality to it.

    It's 504 and Manhattan time. The vermouth is a few weeks old in the fridge, but fuck it.

    Depends on the whiskey. Neat if it's worthy, on the rocks if it's merely acceptable.

    New Orleans Sazerac
    I’d rather have a Paper Plane...but I’ve made a lot of bad decisions after a night of sazeracs.

    Paper Plane is equal parts bourbon, amaro bonobo, ape roll, and lemon juice. Shaken together with ice.
