What to mix Bourbon with?

[trophy8]

Little bit of Sprite Zero.

Y’all can have all of that faincy stuff, I’ll take my Wellers with a little ice and touch of water. If I can’t find Wellers ( it’s hard to find for a reason) I’ll reach in the cabinet and grab the Makers and add a little ice and a touch of water! I was gifted a bottle of 4 roses and I wouldn’t even give that stuff to Trophy 8 to drank- it’s nasty. Definitely No Canadian whisky like stuff for this fat boy.

Mix it in your belly.
Straight up, maybe ice, sometimes hot chocolate.
An Old Fashion is a fine drink

Jim beam and my gut usually mix pretty well

That is a King Ranch thing (based on the book). Milk, bourbon and honey I believe.

If you have ever had Rodeo Punch at one of the Committeeman only clubs at HLSR, you would consider the merits of milk in a mixed drink. For the record, I don't know exactly what it is but its good (better than a white russian or anything like that).

Ice.

Agreed!

[Gclyde28]

splash a water, few pieces of frozen water, and a nice glass is all you need for some good bourbon.

I do like a nice old fashioned or manhattan on the rocks from time to time though.

[Brushybowman]

Agree with the ice

[bboswell]

good bourbon & a glass usually but sometimes I splurge with and add a frozen stainless steel ball

A inexpensive bourbon or scotch severely cut with Topo Chico is a pretty refreshing drink. If drinking decent or better spirits, I am usually in the 1 very small ice cube or neat camp. I do sometimes like whiskey cocktails also like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans.

For the Old Fashioned fans on here, try using a lemon peel instead of the orange peel. It is a game changer.

Doc said my blood pressure was not good. Asked if I drank. Told him yes. He asked what and how much. Told him you you really want to know? Told him 15-18 beers a night and that was during the week for the last 25 years. The look on his face was pretty messed up. He told me I needed to change my ways. He recommended bourbon mixed. I bought 4 half gallons of Tin Cup. Been mixing it with a little 7up but not worth a **** in my opinion.

Tin Cup is garbage. I assume you're not drinking one or two coming from 15-18 beers a night. If you're drinking a bunch of diet soda then you're pumping tons of aspartame in your body. Use regular soda and you're getting a ton of sugar. Drop the soda all together and mix with water if you need a mixer. But in reality if you're drinking a boat load day in day out cutting down on the booze will do you a ton more good than changing what you're mixing it with

My vote is water. Some frozen, a splash not. [emoji41]

I second this. I have found that drinking it neat makes me sip on it more. This allows me to 1. enjoy the drink more and 2. make each drink last significantly longer

I'm not sure I like the tone with which you typed "Evan Williams", sir...

Ditto

Mix with Topo Chico and ice
