My wife is gonna make me sleep on the couch If I tuck into this bottle any more!
Nice. I just saw the orange and bitters, which in mind said “old fashioned”. Woodford is a good one for cocktails ?
Sidecar is really similar to old fashioned. Can use triple sec or cointreau. Chambord is a really nice raspberry liqueur that goes really good with bourbon.
I like having liqueurs around when I don't feel like sipping. If you like to add soda to your whiskey I suggest grabbing some liquers **ahem**
@Thor Georgeos !!
My cabinet has become light on liqueurs, I should throw a bottle of that orange back in the mix. I think I’d prefer that to triple sec. I think the only liqueur we have on hand is maraschino cherry that my wife uses for Hemingway daiquiris. I should try the Chambord too, that sounds like something my wife could also use for cocktails. She mostly likes gin, but I’d try it with bourbon ?Sidecar is really similar to old fashioned.

But I could spend that liqueur money on bourbon.Sidecar is really similar to old fashioned. Can use triple sec or cointreau. Chambord is a really nice raspberry liqueur that goes really good with bourbon.

Chambord is excellent. Doesn't taste boozy at all. We go to the italian market and get soda syrups. We have a soda stream so we make soft drinks and cocktails with the syrups.
I’ve been on the brink of buying a soda stream a number of times, but I’ve never pulled the trigger.
I’ll have to pick up a bottle of that, as well as some Averna ?
Sometimes we will go for a bit without using it but other times it's in constant use. Definitely more of a summertime thing, but it eliminates the need for buying soda. Just dont use the soda stream syrups
Listen, I will not stand by and watch you just piss away your money on things that aren't bourbon.
@Willthiswork I just cracked open my bottle of this to test out. Not too bad! Not quite as hot as the Pure Kentucky, maybe a touch sweeter. Very tasty though. I’ve been enjoying Willett bottles lately, think I must just like these higher rye mash bills ?
Just cracked open the bottle of Bookers. Really not sure what to do with this one. Made an ol' fashioned and all I can taste is straight liquor lol!
I mean it's decent, but ho lee shit is it ever potent. I'll have to spring this on guests.

Apparently at some establishments, they will put your cocktail into the bookers case, fill it with smoke and you get to open it when they serve it to you.
@Willthiswork fuck yo rainbowsThere's a bar in Kentucky that makes smoked old fashioned cocktails and they present them in a Booker's case. They put the cocktail in the case, fill the case with smoke, put the glass on it and then bring it out to you. You pull the glass up, the smoke pours out and you remove the cocktail.
Garrisons brows cowboy bourbon comes in a wooden case as well blood oath. There are actual bars that are specifically old fashioned bars. They serve most of their cocktails with your choice of smoke/wood.
