What Is Your Celebratory Drink

Jack Daniels on the rocks......As good as it gets

I'm a sour mash guy and bourbon is the elixir of all things American. Still, what a cool thread this is.
I tended bar for seven years in a relatively upscale steak house that also served hamburgers and I always dug the cats who knocked back a couple of third class beers with a choice cut. Inversely, my wife taught me to pull the cork on something fabulous when the pizza guy showed up. (You want to open a 30 year old Bordeaux for a sausage pizza? WTF? Are you kidding me?) But she was right.
Alcohol, like tobacco, is meant to be enjoyed. Pull the cork. Pop the tin. Have a snort. Have a smoke. Embrace the day....then the cellar the rest.

Makers mark perfect mannhatten with 2 dash bitter and extra cherries. Or just crown on the rocks. I have a bottle of XR that im waiting for the right time to open see my thread, man cave:

Who wants me to make them a drink?

Usually start off with a Malbec (wine)... Then when you're felling good we let the imagination run.
But I'm in the process of choosing our first bottle of scotch because one of my friends is having the first child in our group of friends... So it's most likely going to be something Johnnie Walker has to offer.

If you dont want to pony up the money for JW Blue, JW Green or Gold is a cheaper option but you will still be completely satisfied

Martini

 

[steelman]

Amen Mr Doody!!! Pappy Van Winkle.
Because Pappy is often hard to find in my town, I also like Russell's Reserve.

Either:
Tuaca on the rocks.

Don Eduardo Silver Tequila, neat

Strongbow hard cider

 

[captainbob]

I celebrate every evening with a couple of Manhattans. Kessler and Martini sweet vermouth. Two shots of Kessler and one shot of the Martini and Rossi sweet vermouth on the rocks with hot pickled mushrooms and my pipe, of course!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

[scurvydog]

[cigrmaster]

For a celebration it is Veuve Clicquot champagne.

I don't remember if I ever posted on this string, because I drink all the time.
Scotch and a sprig of spring water.....

Guinness on draft in a pub. That's how I roll.

 

[cajunguy]

[pipeinhand]

Something me and the boys cooked up in a PI bar 38 years ago.
THE DEAD ENGLISHMAN
2 shots of Bombay Sapphire

1/2 shot Applejack

2 shakes of bitters
Sounds like hell but smooth as wind. It killed the 2 limeys we were with at the time, hence the name. We brought them back to life the next day with a couple of LBFM's and a proper beer.

I don't know if any of you are Tequila fans. But I was in my local Costco Liqour store and was deciding which new tequila to try. And while I'm browsing this guy that was chatting with the staff walks up to me and points at this bottle of tequila and says, "If you're looking for a great tequila I would recommend THIS one."
I asked him why he recommended it. And he said, "Because I make it." LOL!
He also said it was extremely smooth, no bite, and just an exceptional value for the price.
The dang thing was marked $17.99 for a 1 Liter bottle. Well hot damn it is a good value.
I told him I was a sucker for a recommendation as I thanked him and took the bottle to the checkout line.
Everything he said about this was true. It's a resposado tequila and the best one I've had to date.
It's called Caballos (Spanish for "Horses")
It's my current celebratory drink. :D
