My go to drink is gin and tonic, but only mid-shelf or higher. Well gin taste gross and gives you the worst hangovers. I love Tanquery and Bombay Sapphire, but I'll also drink Seagrams (7 & 7, baby!).
I can drink vodka, but don't like it. It's too bland to be drunk on its own and the mixers it usually gets paired with are too sugary or sour. Tried Red Bull and Vodka when it was popular, but I could get a better buzz doing actual coke. This just made me cracked out and edgy.
Tequila reminds me of being in high school or Mexico. Both were fine at the time, but I've moved on. A good margarita on a summer day is nice, though. Recently tried Patron XO - coffee flavored tequila. Surprisingly good, but not something to drink all night long.
Drank rum in college. Kinda over it. Also, like vodka, it gets paired with sugary or sour mixers. Jaeger - gah! Also a college shot, but I did them sparingly.
I generally drink whiskey/bourbon straight up or with ginger ale (Jack and Ginger was my go to drink for a time). I don't drink Scotch often, but when I do, it's on the rocks - Johnny Black.
But honestly, my motto is I'll drink anything if its free. And I know a lot of bartenders. There's nothing like walking into a bar and having a drink waiting for you. Come back from the restroom, drink waiting for you. Gotta leave? Can't you have a full drink in front of you.
Hmm, I'm thirsty. Think I'll make myself a stiff one.
