OK.
I am not a fan of the Sazerac. not only does it ruin the taste of the rye but it makes me all tingly with a flavor I detest.
oh well, worth a shot. anyone want a really old and full bottle of pernod?

Found it: sparkling water. We had dinner at The Columbia recently and that's what they made theirs with. Not as syrupy as the average bar-made mojito that uses Sprite/7-Up and not as bitter as one made with soda water/seltzer.
The Bulleit Rye is great in Old Fashioneds for something a little different. As a "rye light" bourbon, the regular Bulleit still seems to have a bit more rye spiciness to it.
I am looking to pick up a gift for someone and need some help. I've checked Google and Amazon without much success so far. I'm looking for a good quality, 8 oz flask, preferably something that is wrapped in a tooled or "vintaged" leather. Unfortunately, it's one of those "I'll know it when I see it" things, so I can't cite a specific design.
Anyone have any recommendations on other places to look?

Who is drinking Tom Collins'?
The date of invention of a drink has little to do with how classy it is. A name brand of so-so canadian whisky plus a do-they-still-sell-that soft drink full of HFCS mixed together is just not classy.
I guess the mistake you seem to be making is based on the fact that you think drinking should be comprised of the things that keep Costco in business: massive volumes at discount prices.
You go ahead and drink yourself under the table while I waste my money on stuff that's really good.

i'm a manhatan guy, streight up extra dry. which for those of you who don't know the drink, means i like whisky, but don't want people to think that i drink out of the bottle. my problem now is that i found **** Creek single barrel, and fell in love with it, but it costs an arm and a leg when at the bar, so now i start with that, and as the night progresses i go for cheeper and cheeper burbon. then i wake up with a smakk elephant where my brain used to be.

Then my parents came by the house to visit since my Dad just came back from a trip to France to see his parents. He brought this back for me:

I think I've seen Eagle Rare in a store recently. The Four Roses SB was my consolation prize -- the store also had a bottle of Jefferson Reserve Presidential Select which I lusted after but could not afford.
Details for the uninitiated?
Pere Magloire XO is very good stuff.

Scrappy Jack sent me here, as I'm taking a rest from the politics forum.
My wife made me a GREAT drink last night with my favorite ingredient. Our cupboards are a bit bare (need to go to the store), so I asked her how she made it; juice box and vodka.
Thank God for little kids in the house!

On a separate note, I've been trying to make "skinnier" cocktails as part of my fitness regimen. I made the mistake of picking up some Tillet Farms organic cherries and they make a delicious Old Fashioned with some decent bourbon and sparkling water. Instead of simple syrup, I use a bit of the cherry juice they are bottled with.
I also made my own sweet and sour mix today. I used fresh squeezed lime juice, a bit of fresh squeezed lemon juice and some Florida's Own orange juice with no pulp (no oranges in the house). I mixed it with a gold rum (Appleton Estates) and a splash of sparkling water. Not too shabby.
I also picked up some whisky stones to use in cocktails as a compliment to ice. I stopped using them in Old Fashioneds, though - I can't get to the cherries if I use them!
