I have my bourbon on the rocks with water. I just can't deal with straight liquors burning their own pathway to my stomach. Doesn't matter what kind of alcohol it is, it burns. I find that adding water keeps the same taste, but just turns down the volume from 10 to 3.
Funny thing is around here, the mint julep has suddenly appeared on the menus of a lot of places. It's super-fancy, they use this ice mill to crush the ice, and then use a metal cup and freeze the ice to the side of the cup. So when you're drinking it, there's all this ice clinging to your cup. Kinda weird, but it is nice to have a cocktail that I like on the menu (never order a margarita in Asia, bleh).
Scotch, bleh. Bitter ashes. I've got a sweet tooth. Coal tar isn't on my list of yummy flavors.
