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

    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 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

    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.

    Jeppsons Malort with an absinthe chaser.

    I like my taste buds how I like my wife. I DON’T HAVE A WIFE.

    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.

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