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.

Amari are favorites of mine too. A
Negroni might be my favorite cocktail. For refreshing drinks, I like a
Campari & club soda or an
Aperol spritz. After dinner, some
Benedictine & brandy hits the spot.
Thanks for the tip on
Not Your Father’s Root Beer. I see that Total Wine carries it and I'll get some.
