There's plenty of bourbon to go around. Sometimes I like it neat and sometimes I like a cocktail. It's like English and aros.

A world without Fresca would be like a world without sunshine.
My favorite drink was Fresca with suger. Can't handle the artificial sweeteners.

We had NuGrape and Grapette when I was a kid. We thought that was what grapes tasted like. All we had were muscadime grapes that are wild and bitter. CBG is the closest thing to Grapette I've had in years.

The Muscadines here in Georgia are sweet as can be? Very popular to make it into wine.

We might not have been eating them ripe. We were kids.

The only grape soda I remember that tasted like grapes was NeHi. Haven't seen it around in decades.

Of course..
I like the old fashioned or a toddy but that's where I draw the line. Never mixed drinks back in the day with coke, it was either soda water or tonic.
