What Is Your Drink of Choice?

I just turned 21 and am about to start an internship. As I am moving from one phase of my life to another, I will now be needing to evolve my taste in alcohol.

My first legal purchase was Don Julio Blanco, but I'm looking for suggestions. What does everyone here drink?

Also just turned 21 and need to evolve my alcohol palate; my beer of choice on a casual day is Stella Artois, a good whiskey on a fat rock if I'm sitting down.

I'd love some scotch recommendations so here's my bump of the thread.

 

Good: Makers Mark, Knob Creek Great: Macallan 12 year, Nikka or Yamazaki 12-18 year. Most 12-18 single malts. I have money flex: Old Rip Van Winkle, any Old & Rare (30 years +)

I worked as a bar tender in college and had the opportunity to try some very expensive hooch. For me personally there is a point of diminishing return, most people couldn't tell the difference between a $100-$200 bottle and a $2000+ bottle.

 

Recently I've become more fond of Diplomatico Ambassador Selection (rum).

But my go-to drink would probably be a plain screwdriver. I could drink those all day long, if it wasn't for the risk of getting absolutely hammered.

 

Keep it simple for the next couple years. You’re 21, you don’t want to be the guy drinking a martini.

A few classics to start with: G&T, rum and coke, whiskey sour, etc. As time goes on you can make these simple cocktails even better with better gin/whiskey/whatever.

21 is a great time of your life, enjoy!

 

Like any OG hardo, I only drink mint flavoured vodka and chocolate milk. It's like After Eight, but in liquid form.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
 

Beer: I'm a big fan of trying any local IPA's (though if its with work friends I usually stick to a lighter 6 to 8% IPA or else you get going a lot faster than your coworkers drinking lighters beers).

Mixed Drinks: Gin and Tonic, Rum and Coke (slowly sliding down my preference list), Whiskey Sour

Liquor: Scotch / Scotch Whiskey is the only thing I drink straight.

 

Whiskey or scotch on the rocks. Currently into Angel's Envy.

Also drink a lot of red wine. Currently into Barolos and Barberas.
