I know I am the only one who drinks this, so much so that bartenders have to ask me what it is called. Since I am the only one who drinks it, I tell them what the other bartenders call it when people ask what I am drinking. I nurse Mr. King's Drink.
It is two parts well whiskey and one part Aperol, shaken, pour the drink part in a martini glass, then put the dirty ice from the shaking in a pint glass and fill the pint glass with club soda. I drink I lot of club soda. I drink more club soda than I do Mr. Kings. I do not want kidney stones. It is healthy to be hydrated.
We are mostly water, very little Aperol. A person can live without Aperol and whiskey. A person cannot live long without a steady supply of water. The need for water is even more baseline than the need for love.
I know that no one else shares my cocktail preference, which will put hair on your chest, and, I don't think most of you are man enough for my macho lifestyle, but, I was wondering what cocktails other people here like. I am thinking about expanding my range.
Any suggestions?

Whiskey. Neat. Because additions to it are a rookie move.

I don't like whiskey. That is why I cut it with Aperol. Campari overwhelms it. Aperol accentuates it.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 4:52 pm Whiskey. Neat. Because additions to it are a rookie move.

It is something to sip between glasses of club soda. It is a sipping drink. And, it puts hair on my chest. That is why I smoke a pipe, too. Sip a pipe the way you would sip a strong cocktail and you will be a happy man, savoring the flavor more and not caring about the effect. Because you sip so slowly, it is all about the flavor. Nurse a cocktail glass the way you would a pipe bowl---that is my strategy.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 5:19 pmIf you don't like it why on earth would you drink it?Citizen B wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 5:08 pmI don't like whiskey.

I enjoy a straight Bourbon or Scotch. Sometimes with Soda. Not big on cocktails. My version of a cocktail is to mix with a soda, tonic or whatever.
I love a Gin & Tonic. Add a lemon and lime its even better. Has to be a bitter tonic and strong juniper Gin. Gin without Juniper is pointless. Such as Hendricks.
I also enjoy my moonshine as is. May mix. I also make apple pie, lemoncello, and other flavors such as root beer.

I never used to drink cocktails but then I moved to New Orleans.
You can't find a scorpion bowl here but you can get a good sazerac just about anywhere, even at the grocery store.
