Are you thinking of Cinzano?
SoCo is bourbon, I believe. It goes great with Coke, so I don't see why it would go bad with Dr. Pepper. I think Box Drink just hasn't acquired the taste yet.
IMO the scotch has got to be good. Bad scotch is freaking terrible.Quote:

Cigs, have you ever had good scotch? It has a very deep almost smokey flavor, and its very nice at the end of a long day. I think liquor should be unadulterated myself, with the exception of adding soda/tonic or anything relatively flavorless.
A good vodka goes with almost everything, and by "good," I mean "better than Absolut." Ketel One is very good, and it's about the same price as Absolut, and you can even splurge for the Grey Gooses and such. I like vodka tonics even more than gin & tonics, but they really aren't all that different.Quote:

Amen to that. Speaking of Gin and Tonics, care to recommend some drinks that a person partial to them might like Stone? I'm getting somewhat tired of beer, and I need to expand my mixed drink portfolio, so to speak.
Whiskeys are hit or miss IMO - you generally have to acquire the taste first, and you can't always mix them with much.
I don't see how a Corona with lime is worse than a Corona without one. Though Corona sucks, period. A Red Stripe with lime is a lot better, and a Heineken with one is actually potable.Quote:

The problem with Corona is that is doesn't taste like much of anything - and then people further fuck it up by putting lime in it. Limes don't belong anywhere near beer - they belong in gins and tonics and other good things like that.
A Hefeweizen with lemon is excellent, IMO.
Whiskey definitely is an aquired taste, and I'd agree that it generally doesn't mix well with much. It only took me about a week to really start to like Jack Daniels on ice. Even before that, I thought that whiskey is pretty much always a good blend with a cola. Best one I've had is Royal Crown and coke.Quote:

SoCo & 7UP!!!!
No, just remembered, it's Punt E Mes. It's made somewhere in Italy that begins with a C, I think that's why I thought that (plus, it seems like there are a ton of Italian liqueurs with C's as their first letter). Oh, and Cynar is the one with artichoke, but that doesn't have quinine flavoring in it.Quote:

You mean Crown Royal whiskey, I think - did you drink it with Royal Crown (RC) cola?Quote:

Thanks Stone, burgundy, I'm going out this Friday so I'll mix it up a little. I could see mixing some drinks at home some point in the future, but not now as I really can't afford the supplies.
blended whisky is shit in a bottle compared to a really fine single-malt. I have a great bottle of 18-year sitting on my shelf and it works better than any medicine for the cold or insomnia. I've found the 25-year to be a little too strong flavor-wise, but I drink straight, so maybe someone who mixes might find it ok.

1.) Get a bottle of bourbon.
2.) Climb into bed.
3.) Drink until you see four bedposts.
