You may want to consider some Rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Very "summery". :)

A tip of the cap to you Sir, I just can't drink it.

Even this is too warm, for me, for bourbon...

Ive never tried Rye's...I started to get really serious about scotches this last fall/winter.

You have a few brands I should try?

Bulleit Rye is very good for the price. It will run you around $30 for a 750 ml. Rittenhouse Rye is also a very nice starter Rye and will run you around $25. It's bottled in bond, putting its ABV at exactly 50%, whereas Bulleit is around 45-47% ABV.

I like bourbon a lot but it's a very sweet spirit and I have found that Rye whiskey really hits the spot as its spicy nature makes it much easier to drink than bourbon, especially when drinking neat.

I know of Bulliet...I shall have to try that. I've 'graduated' to drinking my bourbon/scotch neat, so that's good to know. I have found that they run me really hot, so that's why I avoid them in the summer. But, I'll give the rye a shot.

Heh. I think you're right. I need to stiffen the mixture.

Have some people I know in Montana who are selling what looks to be some great mix! It's a "hangover tonic" and Caesar Mix. Looks great to mix in many different drinks and also use this for cooking. I will probably order some soon!

I have not had a drop of Rum since freshman year of college, May of 2005.

You always mention this and I want to try it but might need to assess my tolerance mixed with something to start. Any suggestions?

Splash of coke would work for me.

Have two it at a bar at lunch. The first should be on the rocks, and the second in Coke or Diet Coke. I like it either way, but Kraken can be sipped unlike many Rums.

I won't expand on my night but it's been a decade and I can still can't shake the smell and taste of that rum. I remember it like it was yesterday. On the rocks would not be a good starting point.
