I drink wine more than liquor or beer.

When I drink liquor these days, I'll go for a Gran Manier or nice Bourbon neat. Also like a chilled Sambuca straight up occasionally.

Seriously, Tanqueray tends to be the liquor of choice these days. Though amaretto is always good, too. And Sailor Jerry spiced rum. And Pinnacle Whipped vodka.

That Pinnacle whipped vodka is sick. I was at a party for the Giant game last week and a few people I know who never drink had that and got blown away. I've been favoring Makers Mark lately.

Pinnacle Whipped is a great addition to just about anything. B really likes it in orange soda--like a creamsicle, though I did watch a bar recently try to overcomplicate even that. I have their Marshmallow vodka, too, but I haven't tried it yet.

Rangpur gin with some tonic water and a lime are always welcomed by my taste buds

I'll also put in a vote from my wife for stoli vanilla vodka -that and diet coke keep her happy

Chopin potato vodka makes pretty tasty dirty Martinis. I made some of those last night.

My summer drinks are Dark 'n Stormy made with Blenheim ginger ale, Mount Gay, and Myers; and Stoli, soda, splash of cranberry with a lime.

My taste in liquor tends to be "good but not exotic". I prefer Cuervo 1800 to the uber expensive tequila brands like Patron (with fresh squeezed lime juice and a splash of Grand Marnier or Countreau). I'm happy with Wild Turkey bourbon. I use Smirnoff in things like Bloody Marys and Stoli where I can taste it. Dalwhinnie scotch is the most expensive thing in my liquor cabinet.

Almost anything is game depending on my mood, but the typical go-to is blended whiskey (Jim or Seagrams) and when the occasion warrants, Glenlevit 12 or 18 year, neat.

I'm more of a craft beer drinker these days.

Jameson is the king of the hill for me. The extra bite is tough to get used to at first, but it's definitely a taste I've acquired nicely.

Henry McKenna 10-year single barrel bourbon is my favorite all-around bourbon (and at $30, cheap in the grand scheme of things). Jameson holds a special place in my heart (and liver). Don't much care for Scotch.

Bombay Sapphire continues to be my go-to gin. Don't drink enough to experiment enough to change my mind.

Favorite all-purpose vodka is Luksusowa (Polish triple distilled potato vodka- one of the few that's not retardedly expensive. I love their current slogan "Against the Grain since 1928"). My uber-special vodka is Pan Tadeus, which I bring back with me every time I go to Poland.

Favorite "wierd" drink is Zubrowka and apple juice. It's a vodka flavored with Bison Weed, whatever that is. A bit spicy, a bit herbal, goes great with apple juice.

Go-to tequila is Herradura or Milagro, generally anejo, though for margaritas I find Sauza is excellent
