I don't drink any longer...... unless I have a really bad cough......but back in my drinking days, there was only one drink for me ................... and only one way to drink it: Wild Turkey Bourbon (101 proof, please)...... in a glass.

The only mix that ever touches GOOD booze is air!

Or a bit of ice or maybe a splash of water to release the flavor with good scotch.

Actually it comes from the Royal Navy and is never made with bourbon.
First time I've ever seen Wiki screw up that badly.

Brandy, ginger ale and bitters.

Jumbo Frank would probably use Vernor's!

When I drank, it was 'Never met a beer/Ale/Porter/Stout(American Lagers don't count) I didn't like', and Woodford Reserve.  WR in a chilled glass.  My BIL usually had some really peaty/smoky Scotch that was very drinkable too.  Can't remember what that was though.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Vernors is my favorite soda, or pop as we call it. I've had Vernor's with bourbon but never with brandy. Maybe it's time I order another bottle of Asbach. I haven't had any for a few years. It mixes well with coke. I like a shot of each. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbach_Uralt

Seeing that my father was an immigrant from Ontario, he introduced me to Verner's on our trips to see his folks.   It's available, in cans, down south, but I don't think it tastes the same as it did 50 years ago in bottles.

Vernor's is the nectar of the gods to a Michigander but, Alf's right!  Since the invention of high fructose corn syrup and a myriad of chemicals introduced into the food chain, Vernor's has definitely changed since it's invention back in 1866.  I wonder if it's still aged in oak barrels anymore?

I still love the stuff and fill the trunk of the car when I make it to PA, OH or MI.  Sometimes I order it mail order but that gets pretty pricey...

The wiki says Vernors is aged 3 years now instead of 4. It also says "Vernors ginger ale first entered commerce in 1880, not 1866" according to the 1911 trademark application. It looks like somebody's been lying to us for a long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernors

Hey Tim, it wasn't "scientific, but I did a little googling and the only barrels I could find for aging any kind of booze were all oak, so yes, if they still age Verner's in a barrel it is probably oak.
