If you know how to make cocktails it's easy to make a great one that involves bourbon. You just need the right ingredients.

This post is quite a-Paul-ing. OP couldn't bear to part with his swill.

Does anyone else crave pringles?

If the spirit is the main flavor profile, quality is key. If it is added as an accent, quality is irrelevant
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
I misread "sugary" as "surgery". I am not a smart nor alcoholic man.
ImgurNeedsMoreSmartass
You can't Bear that to happen

OOoOooOooOH YeEeeEEeSS!!!

Psht, a Blood and Sand made with good bourbon and maybe a dried sour cherry thrown in? Best thing ever.
ZacPope43
Your hands must really be thirsty bro.
itiscalledaPUPPYyoutwat
I'd prefer to mix something good than use the lighter fluid cheap shit
ProfessionalJalapenoWrangler
Legitimately laughed out loud for a solid minute. Well done. https://media.giphy.com/media/OqcMrG8CJcZ9K/giphy.gif

Why don't you keep cheap bourbon to stave this off? She won't know the difference.
KassandrasJollyFellow
the comment section is the very reason for OPs reaction gif
Theknightswhosayitsonlyafleshwound
Yes that is why my husband bought me my own "not so fancy" bourbon
mmartin762
Im not an avid wrestling watcher, but I REALLY need to know what is happening here.
Candyclysm
I witnessed a guy order a Johnny Blue and Coke. The bartender refused to make it for him.
Rheios
I'd have ordered straight Johnny then. Then had a friend order a coke separate from me. Then mixed them in front of his fucking face.
ProphetTenebrae
I'm pretty sure it's acceptable - in most jurisdictions - to slap her face with your flaccid penis for such a transgression.

Ita really difficult to mushroom slap while flacid. I'm definitely a grower, not a shower.

The French term is 'biffle'

The Dutch term is swaffel. How do anglophones get through life without a word for that?

I tried that, but I become erect too quickly.

Hmm. I found this comment appropriate. But not wildly inappropriate.

My god I read transgression as transgender. Nice one brain.

Pappy would like a word with you.
RobWalter
It's ok if she asked first. If she made it without asking...might've been grounds for dumping. Just sayin
LeeDee16
I was thinking the same thing. She asked, so you can say no...nbd.
lollilips
This kills me as a bartender when people ask for mixed drinks with nice bourbon. I only suck it up since it's more $$ but I still cringe.
KimbeauxSlice
I always give em a sour
daelith
I love bourbon, I enjoy them straight. But I won't hesitate to make a mixed drink with the top shelf. I'm going to fucking enjoy it.
youcannoteatblastbeats
Imo many drinks are terrible with bad hooch. GT, old fashioned etc.
youmoron
Its not your alcohol. Shut the fuck up and make the drink like you're being paid to. asshole.
Manorexia
I would agrue there are times it is appropriate such as for an old-fashioned, BT keep it out if a whiskey-coke
lollilips
Exactly
MyLifeisaComplicatedDrinkingGame
"Can I get a Johnny Blue and Sprite...?" "No. No you cannot."
Haxbrygd
"Why do our sales numbers suck?" "They asked for Walker Blue and Sprite and I declined it." "You're fired."
MyLifeisaComplicatedDrinkingGame
Nah I wasn't fired. I talked to him about scotch and the tastes and got a fat fucking tip and a repeat customer all for being honest.
SquirrellyWhirly
Then as a bartender you should know know that a well made mint julep is heaven on earth.
AIDSBurgerInParadise
I get tickets asking for an extra well done NY strip that costs 35 bucks. I feel ya buddy.
kwongdzu
Every time I order a Whiskey Sour or g&t the server always asks what brand I want. I have to ~ask~ them to use the house crap. It's weird.
GreyFire5
I always ask instead of just using the cheap stuff otherwise people get upset :/
Rheios
Its always strange to me that people can tell the difference. I've drank a lot of vodka. Its all vodka once you're out of plastic bottles
GreyFire5
I've learned that people take alcohol very seriously. But for myself, if I'm mixing it then I don't care either way
Rheios
Oddly its like that with food too. I guess food, drink, job, religion/lackthereof, and politics all compose such weird defined pieces of(1)
DontGoJasonWaterfall
I'm interested to know what a bartender considers a 'nice/good' bourbon? Curious, as a bourbon drinker myself.
lollilips
Blantons, knob creek, Jeffersons ocean, pappys
DontGoJasonWaterfall
Oh good I'm not upsetting anyone then haha
insomniac24x7
What about bartenders that suggest cheap vodka since it will be mixed anyway?
lollilips
We're talking bourbon here
daelith
Same thing. Seriously, you can tell. Mixed with top shelf they're smoother and tastier.
lollilips
I would never suggest someone order a cheaper alcohol if they're asking for a mixed drink and I aways ask if they have a preference.
lollilips
But if it was at my house and someone wants to mix Johnny walker blue with coke I'd sway them to some jack instead.
daelith
But the point is if you don't think you should toss the cheap shit in there, why would the drink not be improved with the good shit?
MySpecialBrand
What are common drinks guys get? I'm new to this...
reallyguysseriously
Depends on what liquor you like. Guy/girl drinks are stupid. Have whatever you enjoy.
PartyBanana
Appletinis. But go easy on the tini.
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
A guy's cocktail is any cocktail he wants to drink-though I suggest trying martinis, old-fashioneds, mint julips and gin and tonics.
MarkViduka
I hate alcohol snobs.
KimbeauxSlice
It's not a snob thing, it's a hangover thing. Better the booze, less chance of being hungover.
youmoron
its not a hangover thing. you are wrong.
1metalnation
I am an alcohol snob, and that's untrue. Hangovers don't care the quality of the booze you drank, just the amount
Haxbrygd
Same. Unless you're buying what I'm drinking, please do us all a favor and keep your opinions to yourself. Drink what makes you happy.
rockfireman
As a 22 year old who didn't start drinking till I turned 21, I get a lot of shit for the drinks I choose.
Rheios
Mix the drinks you want, forget the others. There's no wrong way to get drunk (Except waterless.)
rockfireman
I do haha I'm not big on the taste of alcohol so I get the "girly drinks" as my coworkers call it, I don't care they're delicious.
Rheios
Same here.I CAN sip Jameson up.I don't because I'd prefer really enjoy what I'm drinking, not just tolerate it on account of my alocholism
lollilips
Not a snob but you ever see girls ask for a $40 bourbon and coke? There's a difference between snob and appreciation.
HerrBisch
If it's nice bourbon then it will make the mixed drink taste nicer. I can understand OP but if they are paying then what's the problem?
KassandrasJollyFellow
ppl drinking booze forever. art of what to brew and mix passed on over thousands of years. u want taste? forget about own opinion (1/?)
KassandrasJollyFellow
and listen 2 _masters_ of their trade.there's booze to get drunk and booze to appreciate. trust 'em.thank me later as i thank whom i trusted
aloftis
Some nice alcohols are hard to get and due to limited production. If someone mixes it in a sweet cocktail, it won't taste much different 1/2
aloftis
Than if you were to use something cheaper. It's one less pour for someone who would appreciate it the way it was intended to be consumed.
flamingflamingo
The problem is that if you don't enjoy drinking straight liquor then you're a damn scrub. Apparently.
InaneOctopus
You can taste nice bourbon in lots of things, but coke usually covers up the differences between quality bourbons and say Old Crow.
Rheios
I don't have a lot of bourbon experience but if its anything like my "no you just haven't tried a good red wine" experience...
lollilips
Not a problem just as a connoisseur you just want people to enjoy it for its flavor and when you mix it, the mixer usually overpowers it.
HerrBisch
I had this discussion with a gin connoisseur because I like to mix gin with ginger ale rather than tonic. I still enjoy the flavours though!
DyslexicWizrad
And your opinion counts.
hereforthensfwreddits
connoisseur = holier than thou condescending asshole. If I want my drink made with expensive hooch that's my fucking business...
hereforthensfwreddits
You glorified alcohol barista.
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
I've never made a cocktail that didn't taste reminiscent of the alcoholic base, though I use ingredients, not mixers.
hitshappens
There are many drinks that can take advantage of good alcohol. Low sweetness lemon and grapefruit can perfectly frame good rum or Mezcal
lollilips
Well every drink benefits from good alcohol!
hitshappens
But I mean you can use certain mixers to make the best parts of the alcohol pop. For example, I like mezcal, and I mix it with no sugar(1/2)
hitshappens
(2/2) grapefruit soda, lime, and honey, and it lets the smokiness sit down and take a nap in your mouth
hitshappens
and I find it really hard to enjoy alcohol neat with friends. Some non-overpowering mixer makes the alcohol worlds more casual.
Mayhaveshatmyself
I saw the word mezcal and gagged a bit. Bad times.
Rheios
Crazy sai wielding date?
DealWithItNerd
Invalid. It's the mixed drink that bothers you? Using a higher quality alcohol is a direct upgrade. So what if it costs more.
lollilips
No I'm talking like coke and sugary mixed drinks, not like martinis and manhattans.
InaneOctopus
Not true, you're limited by the lowest quality ingredient. Mixed drinks imply soda or similar, typically overpowering.
KassandrasJollyFellow
y best replies in bad comment section -.- have my updoot
NeverEatAWholePineapple
Lol not all mixes have soda. When I mix liquor with liquor I'd rather have that shit top quality. But I do that in my own home cuz cheaper
DealWithItNerd
That's like saying a mixed drink is as weak as it's weakest link, the more high quality ingredients the better it will be overall.
GandalfUnicorn
How are quality of ingredients determined? Is it not the basis of related complimentary tastes that matter?
lollilips
Exactly
