Back when I leaned toward this sort of thing, I preferred a Jack & Ginger.
Now I mix classic cocktails and the occasional tiki drink. But quite often a simple scotch on the rocks is fine.
Up here it’s BV (Black Velvet) and ginger.

Blaaaah......that’s what my Hub likes. I can drink a beer (which I hate) better than one swig of scotch.....;)
My college roommate always drank 7 and 7. I like the taste of alcohol so I quickly gravitated from mixed drinks to cocktails as they are all alcohol.
A couple of years ago I read an obscure novel entitled “John’s Eight.” The lead character was a cocktail afficianado so at the beginning of each chapter there was a gourmet cocktail recipe. I got hooked on Manhattan’s with rye and still use the recipe.
