Since Coke is giving $ to the WWF, I don't want to buy their product. What is a good substitute for my "Jack & Cokes"? I don't care for "Jack & Pepsi".
ice is the only thing you should ever mix whisky with, either bourbon or scotch. Three cubes and never more than two fingers, just to make sure the ice doesn’t melt and dilute fine whisky. Sometimes a glass of ice water to chase a sip with is acceptable.
Avoid Pepsi
Jack and Ginger. Try it - a great southern drink.
Second choice - Jack with a splash of...Jack.
On a hot summer day nothing is better than a mint julep. Put a little club soda in the bottom of the glass with some sugar and a few mint leaves and mush it up. Fill the glass with crushed ice, then Jack, and garnish with a sprig of mint, so when you drink it you smell the mint. Awesome! Kind of like a whiskey snow cone.
I also like club soda or 7Up.
Water and ice or straight on the rocks.
That’s exactly what I thought!
It’s a sin to drink good bourbon mixed with anything...
It’s a mortal sin to drink bad bourbon (mixed with anything..)
I don’t much care for professional wrestling either but I am not going to stop drinking coca-cola. I bet if you looked deep enough almost every consumer product company gives money to some organization that you oppose. I will continue to drink the nectar of the gods aka Bookers with coca-cola.
Dr. Pepper
Coke only goes with Rum ,it makes everything else taste funny ,but Fresca ,now that’s funny
I find that a couple bottles of Robitussin will take the edge off of pretty much anything.
Whenever my wife overdoes it on the credit cards she fixes me a Straight Jack, lights me a good cigar and puts on some Willie Nelson.....I know what she has done but I don’t even care.
Someone will probably tell me they support something bad but I have recently discovered Mike’s Hard Lemonade. It’s awesome.
“Personally, when I’m in a bourbon mood, I go for 7 and 7.”
Technically neither Jack nor Segrams 7 are Bourbon. Personally I find Ezra Brooks Bourbon is just as good as Jack, for a lot less money.
RC Cola?
Maybe a store brand?
How about Crown Royal in your Royal Crown Soda? :p
“When I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey, and when I drink water, I drink water.”
ha ha or CC?
That's me...but I sure don't use the 'good stuff' for my mix - I have some nice bottles tucked away for straight sippin'.....
Gave up drinking years ago, but this time of year I always liked Jack and apple cider (”Apple Jack”). When it gets warmer, I enjoyed a nice, tart whiskey sour.
