BarleyNY Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 You only ever get to drink 3 main liquors and 5 lower alcohol mixers for the rest of your life. Go. Scotch Tequila Gin Dry Vermouth (Martini) Sweet Vermouth (Negroni) Campari (Negroni) Cointreau (Margarita, creme brûlée dessert) St. Germain (Champagne cocktail for in the summer when I’m feeling pretty) Sorry bourbon and rye, you and your mixers didn’t make the cut. I will miss you. Otherwise that’s a fully stocked bar for me. Plus probably some vodka (yuck) for company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Bourbon Vodka Rum - distant 3rd Hard liquor is occasional. Prefer a good beer instead....unless it’s a shot and a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 For me: Bourbon Cognac Third one is a toss-up between gin, vodka and tequila My lower alcohol mixers will be: Wine (including champagne) Beer Irish Creme (mostly for coffee) Amaretto (mostly for deserts) If forced to reduce to only ONE alcoholic beverage (perish the thought) I'd probably opt for champagne (or any GOOD dry sparkling wine) as it goes with just about everything.

KD in CA Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Beer and wine are the most important, but I'll go with: Whiskey (seems like it's kind of cheating to get Scotch/Bourbon/Rye with one pick, but what the heck) Gin - summer at beach requires a G&T Tequila - gotta have a margarita every now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be the reverse order, but as I age it flips. As for liquor, you nailed tequila. I love a good margarita on the rocks with salt at a nice Mexican place from time to time. I used to have an occasional Bloody Mary at brunch, but that’s too long ago to even count. One Bloody is good, two is the max. Just too rich to keep going. I had a gin and tonic 40 years ago that I still remember for how refreshing it was on a hot day. I wouldn’t want to make a habit of it. I have enough problems.

I tend to go in cycles, influenced by the season. Winter is a wine heavy season so we're just coming out of that and I've loaded up on various beers for April. Enjoying one of these right now for happy hour: On the liquor side, vodka at first seemed like a hard give because it's so versatile, but I find it's not really ever necessary, more of a default option. There's no option if you're at a good Mexican restaurant -- you NEED tequila. As for G&T, I grew up with those....fond memories of the folks....and now the staple drink for two weeks on Cape Cod with my BIL and his Irish wife who's always pouring.

RaoulDuke79 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I understand that beer isn't a liquor, but I like this song and find it remotely appropriate. I vote for 1 whiskey, 1 vodka & 1 tequila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
