Lately, we've been on a bourbon kick on our weekend evenings. But we've been doing bourbon + coke. I should not be drinking soda (why can't I lose weight? Oh yeah ... soda), but I don't know of any other mixed drinks to try. What would you mix it with? Lower sugar drinks preferred.
-
Bourbon iced tea? We make whiskey iced tea and it's delicious.
-
It's a thing here, but bourbon and Ale-8-one is pretty good. Bourbon and cider is pretty good too. Also, mint juleps!
-
Yep, mint juleps!
-
@hotchildinthecity: Yummm!!! And with a little squeeze of lemon? You're a genius!
@avivoca: @blackbird: I've never had a julep!! I love mint, too, so we should totally try it. Thanks!
-
I love bourbon. I tend to drink it on the rocks, but I also love a manhattan (a bit of sweet vermouth, bitters, and a cherry.) It is pretty strong, which helps me drink it slowly.
-
@avivoca: I LOVE Makers and Ale-8! I call it a Kentucky Special.
OP - How do you feel about diet sodas? I do bourbon and diet Coke or bourbon and Diet Ale-8 (splenda). I also love an Old Fashioned, but that has sugar/simple syrup (I use splenda). -
Not exactly low sugar but old fashioneds are my favourite cocktail at the moment!
-
Manhattan, bourbon and lemonade, whiskey sour, or straight on the rocks with twist!
-
@JenGirl: I just know how bad soda can be, and we were drinking a couple per night. I know we'll still do coke & bourbon, but a few other options will be great.
Is Ale 8 like ginger ale?
-
@littlejoy: yes, but better! I don't think you will be able to get it where you live, but if you ever come to Kentucky, you should totally try it.
-
@avivoca: We are from Indiana ... A guy traded my husband like 10 cases of it for a drill at our garage sale!
He just reminded me. It's so good!
-
I'd just put it with diet pop (Diet Coke, Coke Zero, etc).
-
I'll help you drink it!
On the rocks or Manhattan....mmmmm
He just reminded me. It's so good!
