I’m a Scotch man. I like Aberfeldy 18, Balvenie single cask, and Kilchoman for my top 3.

I also love a Dubonnet Manhattan or a hazy IPA. Red over white wine, IMO

    I have alot of good local breweries nearby. I love Me a New England IPA or a Juicy/Hazy IPA basically.

    For the hard stuff? A Vodka and Juice is my usual go to

    If you’ve got a nice collection of scotch, get a bottle of Drambuie (also technically scotch) to make the classic “Rusty Nail.” You’ll upset the scotch purists but delight your pallet

    Recently I’ve been all about the “Boulevardier.” It’s an adaptation of a Negroni. My preferred blend: Campari, Carpano Antiqua sweet vermouth, Rebel Bourbon and a splash of club soda over ice. A couple cherries or an orange twist if I’m feeling fancy.

    I’m not very sophisticated, so I generally go for a beer. I like Modelo, Corona, Blue Moon, or Spotted Cow (WI Regional). Some of the Leinkugel’s seasonals are pretty good, for a while I was obsessed with their Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. Our local brewery/restaurant makes a milk stout that I get pretty much anytime we eat there.

    Nothing like a good Old-Fashioned. One of the secrets is to singe the orange peel after it’s expressed over the glass before dropping in as a garnish and stirring - it adds a lovely smoky note to the drink.

    I normally reach for a beer (Tuborg Gold), but if I’m mixing a drink, I love a properly made whisky sour!

    Winter: Hot toddy with Scotch.

    Non-winter: Flavored vodka and Mio. In the summer, I’ll mix that with ice and blend into a slushie.

    I enjoy scotch, but I also don’t drink very often so I don’t get expensive stuff. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich 15 that’s good.
