ETA: I can only imagine I taste great, but would that make me gay if I blow myself and swallow? I jack myself off all the time and that doesn't make me gay. I think giving yourself a facial would be pretty ghey. Maybe get yourself close and then finish with your hand?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5-Points 2,715 Posted May 18, 2019 I'm a beer and wine guy. Occasionally I'll go with a Jamie and rocks. Heard people say Jamie and Ginger is good, haven't tried that yet. Screwdrivers and bloodies are hangover helpers when necessary. Vodka and sanpellegrino is a good summer time V&T or G&T alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted May 21, 2019 Old Fashioneds are made with Bourbon or Rye whiskey, Angostura Bitters and sugar (or simple syrup.) The key difference between the two is the sweetener – and it makes all the difference! The Manhattan uses Sweet Vermouth and the Old Fashioneduses plain sugar. Sweet Vermouth is a type of aromatized fortified wine.Jul 2, 2018 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had one this past Saturday while at dinner prior to the Diamondbacks game; they are tasty but a bit sweet for my taste. mmm''s math about 8 ounces didn't add up, which is part of why I asked.

Normally they are 2 oz.... I made a double... so 4 oz's... then made another = 8 oz. The sweetness is all subjectivity with the hand making them. Don't like mine overly sweet either Jerry.
