Rocks and a few pearl onions or a bit of tonic and lime wedge.

I am not much of a "whisky" drinker, but might have to buy a bottle of the Jefferson for my friends that are.

The reason most Americans don't care for the taste of gin is because American gins taste like turpentine!

The English, despite their other faults, DO understand what gin should be.  Try some Tanqueray, and see what gin is supposed to taste like.  I specify the "T" for my martini's when dining out, but it is also great in a gin and tonic, (keeps the malaria away, don't you know) and we also drink a lot of it with Squirt, which makes a "field-expedient" Tom Collins.

Bombay is also very good, but a bit sweeter than the Tanqueray.  Beefeaters must be the "cheap stuff" in England, as it is barely better than American gin.

Bombay for me when I can. 

Cheap stuff for mixed drinks is OK but English for sure!

So, I'm thinking fruit juice and grain alcohol would not go over with this crowd ?  ;D

Edited to ask, does any one know what a "Horse Neck" is ?  ;D

Sometimes I drink Jim Beam and Dr. Pepper but I really like rum and Coke, especially when it 160 proof Stroh rum. Due to it's strength half the amount is usually recommended but double is even better.   :o  http://www.winechateau.com/sku1001454_STROH-RUM-80-750ML

No idea what a Horse Neck is but I like grain alcohol with fruit juice. Apple juice and Everclear is awesome. Everclear and lemonade is good too. For sour orange juice I like the sweetness of Southern Comfort to balance it out. I like a lot of different mixed drinks. I can't think of any that I don't like.

If I'm not just sipping it straight, then I'm a Bourbon and grapefruit juice man myself.

Did not know what a Horse's Neck is, but I cheated

A Horse's Neck is an American cocktail recognised by the IBA. It is made with brandy (or sometimes bourbon) and ginger ale, with a long spiral of lemon peel (zest) draped over the edge of an 'old-fashioned' or highball glass

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse%27s_Neck

Is that the same as you meant, Tom?

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