What type of liqour can you most easily drink straight?

[WillyBrandt]

Most folks mix liqour. What kinds can you drink just plain:

Me: Sake (which I suppose you never mix). The perfect liqour

I'm also happy drinking Tequila or sometimes good vodka straight.

1. Irish Whiskey

Vodka is #2 on the list, also the last item on the list.

[Fenris]

6. I second Irish Whiskey.

[Mojambo]

2. Bourbon n/t

[SOteric]

3. Actually, sake martini's aren't too bad

and they're perfect accompaniment to a seared ahi in wasabi beurre blanc.

For sipping in the fall, I love a gently warmed cognac. For sipping in winter, I like a near frozen vodka. For sipping in the spring and winter, I like to linger over a dinner al fresco long enough to break out the grappa.

11. Grappa! Firewater! Rocket Fuel!

[SOteric]

14. *snicker*

Grappa's just a little joke we Italians like to play on the rest of the world.

15. I TRIED drinking some...

Maybe got 1/3 inch of the tiny glass done...

[no name no slogan]

18. Oh yeah: saki martinis and sushi..... (n/t)

[skygazer]

4. Does brandy count?

If not, it would be whiskey.
Then tequila.
Then rum.
Then just about anything because I'd be hammered. :silly:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Sake is the tops for bitchin' straight up liquor, then single malt scotch,

then good bourbons, tequilas, cognacs, armagnacs, etc.

[Huckebein the Raven]

7. Bourbon for me

then maybe rum or vodka.


Has anyone tried gin straight ?

[Wilber_Stool]

8. Rum

Myers Dark.

[mom cat]

9. Southern Comfort...no ice...smooth

[sundog]

10. Good Scotch

but rarely, I tend to like wine & herb

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. Crown Royal, baby.

That shit is fabulous on the rocks.

[bigwillq]

13. Malibu Rum

It's sweet.

[no name no slogan]

16. Tie: single-malt scotch, or top-shelf tequila

It's more of a seasonal thing than anything else. In the winter, I stick with the single-malt scotches. However, the summer is tequila time-- and NOT Cuervo. I stick with the 100% agave tequilas, simply because they're purer, and you don't get sick/hangovers from the "non-agave" crap they put in them.

I'm getting thirsty...

[MrSlayer]

17. Chilled Vodka.

Goes right down, no taste.

[2bfree]

23. I'll second the Vodka.............

my favorite is Tito's it is so smooth. They make it in Austin TX.

[papau]

19. Metaxa Amphora 7 Star

A great brandy - a gift of th Greeks to mankind. More of a grape flavor than the French brandies

For making joint pain go away, OUZO is fantastic.

Glenfiddich is a great sipping Scotch.

[flamingyouth]

20. I love sake too

I can't drink any hard liquor straight.

[ret5hd]

21. Drambui and/or Grand Marnier

with a good Cuban...man, life is good when it all comes together.

[NamVetsWeeLass]

22. DRAMBUIE!!!!

Ya know who woulda thunk that the bottom of a Whiskey barrel could taste soooo damned good? I think it is really the Scots making up for the Haggis.
