How do you drink whiskey?

[jonessoda]

That is, what is your preferred method of drinking whiskey, not how does one drink whiskey.

See poll

Im a large fan of Rye and Gingerale, so I put that under the soda catagory

 

[D1gger]

With ice.

 

[D22]

Where is the option for Funnel?

 

[Tiamat]

Neat, not shots
On ice
With Coca-Cola (not pepsi)
With Schweppes Ginger Ale (not canada dry or seagrams)

 

[dug777]

neat, assuming you mean a fine single malt whisky.

if you don't, i don't drink it.

Now if you're talking about whiskey, that's a different matter all together, and i usually go with dry

 

[PAB]

Depends on what I'm drinking, where and how hammered I want to get.

I like straight shots of Crown Royal and most scotches,sometimes with waterback, other times without, but in social settings, I usually drink it over ice, or even with ice & water.
Don't touch bourbon under ANY situation, almost killed myself on it when I was a kid, and even the smell still makes me nauseous.

Usually Crown & 7 or Canadian Club on the rox

Whiskey tastes like crap and smells like crap. Drinking it in soda (especially Coke) seems to help though.

Still don't like it.

 

[ElFenix]

with ice if it's good, with sprite or 7-up if its not

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Manhattan, rocks.

I can drink beer non-stop but never have developed a taste for whiskey even in a soda.

It triggers my gag reflex when I am a few sheets to the wind.

Now tequilia I can pour down straight up and cold. However; I avoid tequila for the most part as for some reason unlike when I drink beer; I turn into a different person and don't remember any of it.

Classic story was before I married my wife, me and her and 2 other couples got a hotel room to just drink and mess around in (we were 16-17ish). Anyway it was my first experience with tequila and I really liked the taste. We were playing quarters and other games and I elected to drink each round

Soon enough more was needed and I was out of it...my two friends and my chick went to get some more stuff. My friend's g/f's were both asleep...they were sort of pissed my friends were going out with my chick...All this I didn't remember.

Next thing I know is I hear myself in my car (1988 Mustang GT very modified so I could feel the vibration and the exhaust)...I wake up in a panic thinking I am behind the wheel.

My chick is pissed and starts going off on me. Apparently when they left either I or the other two chicks started messing around with each other. They all come back to the room and it's me on top of one and another in the bed touching both of us, both of them half naked (bottoms only) and me with my shirt all unbuttoned and pants loose. My friends thought it was cool (they just dated)...my chick and I were pretty serious...it wasn't a good scene. Especially she could smell them on my hands...I was forced to take a shower when I got home half passed out and then still slept alone.

She understood the next day after she called the other two up and they told her I knew what I was doing, but I wasn't really there.

I agreed not to drink it again. I don't know if she really believed I didn't know what I was doing or not.

 

[loup garou]

Straight up
On the rocks
w/ Diet Coke
Manhattan
Old Fashioned

...and the occasional Mint Julep

 

[olds]

Rock glass half full of crushed ice with Maker's Mark over the top of that.

 

[eits]

shots

 

[judasmachine]

Broiler Makers
Shots
Bourbon and Coke
Sip

Not always in that order.

 

[George P Burdell]

If it's good stuff like Blue Label or Macallans, I drink it neat. Otherwise, I mix with soda.

 

[Whisper]

Usually mixed with diet, although sometimes as a shot or on the rocks.

Where are the options for "with water" and "on ice", probably the two most common methods of drinking whiskey?

 

[killface]

Voted "From the bottle" but I used to pour it in a big plastic cup and slam it down. When you drink a quart of Kessler's per night, you don't want to drink enough fluids to mix it with.

Straight from the bottle
