Most often, San Pellegrino Popelmo [grapefruit] soda and vodka. It’s the only flavor of San Pellegrino that isn’t terrible, but it is an excellent mixer, though hard to find. Last night, Amaro di Toscana [a bitter herbal aperitif made in Tuscany] and Fever Tree Aromatic Tonic Water. (I love the bitter liquors like Campari and Aperol, Green Chartreuse and Benedictine.) If it’s a whiskey night, I prefer Evan Williams to more expensive brands because it is very sour, which I like mixed with Gosling’s Diet Ginger Beer. For sipping, try Ensign Red Mango flavored Canadian whiskey over crushed ice. It’s like drinking a perfectly ripe mango. Often I drink Not Your Father’s Root Beer, which tastes exactly like a very good root beer but has more alcohol than many beers.
