    Heck, I had the Corzo neat this afternoon.

    What do you want from me!?!?

      When in a social situation like tonight with guests over, I typically want mixers.

      Most of the times that I drink something neat are more contemplative such as after dinner or on the deck or in front of the fire - oftentimes alone times.
      Guests or no guests, I'm not gonna mix something like Woodford Double Oaked or similar. Just saying.

      Guests? It's usually beer time, or Evan/Cokes or 7&7s.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        .

        Yep. What I mix is not on that level, but it's far above rail or even Seagram's.

        Trust me, I've learned to recognize the difference.


        Have a whole shelf of stuff that I wouldn't mix.

        Have several shelves of high quality mixing liquors. I like variety and I just won't settle for schwag anymore.

          I think we are talking on the same level. I won't touch crap like Phillips and such, mixer or no mixer. And I admit to Seagram's in 7&7s. That's about as low as I go though. *tips hat*
