I don't know what it is but I keep gravitating to bourbon highballs. Ice, your inexpensive bourbon of choice(mine is Four Roses yellow), gingerale(Canada Dry seems to taste best after comparing to Schweppes and Seagram's), Lemon wedge. It's ridiculously refreshing, please give it a try.

It tastes like my quad-flour catheads (biscuits) with momma‘s strawberry jam...
Drinking a crappy red:
It might be a crappy red but we're at an indoor kids playplace which serves wine which is pure genius!

Drinking Hancocks President Reserve and smoking a Bolivar corona
No sir, Butte, Alaska. Just outside Palmer, Alaska. Closest weather station (about 10 miles) from my house (in Knik River, Alaska).
When I first tried this particular rum I wasn't sure about it. Compared to other rums of similar calibre it just didn't seem as good. Now, for the second time, mid-day (after lunch) it's outstanding!
It has the same level of complexity as others but has an almost medicinal component the makes it seem less sweet whereas others seem to really step up in sweetness.
One for middle of the day to relax a bit and savor. Another for the end of the day to relax and be contemplative.
All of the above considered, this goes for $170/bottle and is nowhere near worth that price. Zacapa XO is about half that and worth it IMO.
I managed to order several bottles of the above for $54/bottle which, in retrospect, was a bargain. Unfortunately the place I ordered from no longer has this. They do, however, have the 18 year old for $49/bottle so...

I'd kill to be able to have one of these in the middle of the work day, haha. Not necessary (although often had anyway) on weekend, but damn, if I could get a dram at noon most workdays I think I'd be worth a lot more to this company.
Or maybe not. Maybe being a frazzled anxious wreck by the end of the day helps the bottom line.
