"1. Thou shalt not mix. What you started with, continue with."
When I'm bucks up in a quality bar, I'm like a kid in a candy store, I'll order everything that catches my eye as I watch the bartender work, always with a steady supply of beers to cleanse the palette, in between the whiskey sours, margaritas, martinis, Kioke coffees, hot toddies, maybe a glass of wine or two.
To me, with the exception of too much sweet stuff, alcohol is just alcohol, mixing has never effected me.
