I love Gin and Tonic.

My favorite is Hendrick's gin and any decent tonic.

Protip: Swap out the lime wedge for a cucumber slice.

Sounds ghetto as fuck. I like it.

I like the way you think, sir.

need to try this out next time

Man, I really don't see the appeal. I know alot of people that drink Gin + Tonics but meh. Gotta go with Ektar on this one, Gin just makes me wish to vomit.

I feel the same way about Tequila.
To each, their own.

Dark n' Stormys are super delicious.

* 2 ounces dark rum
* 3 ounces ginger beer
* 1/2 ounce lime juice

The only straight up liqour I truly appreciate is Hendricks Gin. Everything else needs to be mixed or taken as a shot. That said, Hendricks gin with a few thin slices of cucumber(yes cucumber), and a splash of tonic, on the rocks is the ultimate drink for just kicking back.

I concur.

Bourbon: Eagle Rare 10yr is the best thing you can get under $35/bottle imo. Any of the buffalo trace antiquities collections (George T Stagg, William larue weller, etc) are all amazing if you want to spend some cash, as is pappy van winkle 15yr if you can find it.

Single malt: Aberlour a'bunadh is my favorite here. I like speyside malts with relatively low peatiness. Preferably something finished in sherry barrels. I also have a thing for Glenlivet Nadurra because it tastes so clean. I've never found a good cheap scotch. The cheapest thing i'll drink here is macallan 10 or 12.

Blended: Crown XR if you're dropping dough. Fourty Creek is good for the cheap stuff

Irish: Bushmills black is my favorite of the "cheaper" irish whiskies that i've tried, but I tend to pick another beverage if i have the choice.
