I’ll just sip on a water and be designated driver. I can get drunk later

    Please let me know what the good Bourbon brands are, so that I don’t look like a noob next time I order a Manhattan and the bartender asks me what Bourbon I want in it, I just saw Bulleit on the shelf and blurted that out

      Bulleit is my go-to for cocktails at a bar. It’s a fine flavor, widely available, and not too expensive. If you’re ordering a cocktail you really don’t need anything too nice because you’re masking/blending the flavor with others. Buffalo Trace is my other go-to for the same reasons there.

      Getting a nice bourbon neat, well, that’s usually so expensive at a bar I’ll only get it if the company is paying 😅

    I bought a bottle of Rabbit Hole Dareringer before Trump got elected. Very decent stuff. But now I’m boycotting bourbon until America comes to its senses.

    Tests bar by ordering an old fashioned. Receives old fashioned with muddled cherry/orange and several ice cubes. ಠ_ಠ
