I don‘t know if I like bourbon yet. ?
I did get an array of minis at the store the other night.
So I have more to try.
I‘m usually more of a margarita, Piña Colada, daiquiri, sweet dessert drinks, or prosecco person. ? ?
You know, a light weight. ?
Ruthiella Thanks for the follow up! I don‘t really drink alcohol at all - a light light weight - so I was curious! 8h
ImperfectCJ I'm not a huge fan of bourbon on its own, but I like it in a Manhattan or, even better, in a drink a local bar here makes called a Harlequin Racerunner. It's two parts bourbon, one part coffee liquer (Mr. Black's is what I use), a few splashes of black walnut bitters over ice, with optional orange zest. But I've been liking an aperol spritz or a negroni lately, maybe because it's getting warmer out. (As I chime in with my unsolicited opinion...) 7h
MaleficentBookDragon @ImperfectCJ the Racerunner sounds interesting. I‘ll have to look for those bitters. I‘m going to get some vermouth to try an old fashioned. I have a well stocked bar but don‘t use it much. I take after my dad. He built a really nice bar in our basement, fully stocked it, and barely drank anything. My sister & her friends would drink stuff & then fill the bottles with water. My dad never found out. I did, when I went to use rum in a recipe.😹 7h

ImperfectCJ @MaleficentBookDragon I've never made an old fashioned with vermouth. Interesting idea for the "sweet" portion of the drink. Seems like it would end up similar to a Manhattan. My parents had a dry sink stocked with liquor they got as wedding gifts in 1972. I think my friends and I finally finished the bottles up in the late 1990s (permissive parents meant we didn't have to fill the bottles with water ?). 7h
MaleficentBookDragon @ImperfectCJ you‘re right. I was thinking of a Manhattan. I tried Woodford Reserve tonight. I liked it better than yesterday‘s. 4h
dabbe I've never tried Bourbon on its own, and my tastes for drinks are similar to yours. But in a Manhattan? Whoah, baby! 😍 3h
