i don't currently drink, as i'm prioritizing a healthy and active lifestyle. alcohol definitely doesn't fit into that. however, i still wanted to share some of my favorite drinks.

favorite whiskeys

• macallan rare cask, or anything 18+ years from macallan.
• hibiki 21+ years
• want to try pappy van winkle. when i was in oregon, this scandal happened with pappy van winkle.
• buffalo trace (same distiller as pappy van winkle). more affordable, but still very good.
• woodford reserve

favorite cocktails

• diet coke + whiskey + ice: simple, classic.
• whiskey sour (with egg whites)
• pina colada: best one i've had so far was here in cassis, france.
• bloody mary
• victory sour monkey: high abv + sour. better when on tap, as with most beers.
• guinness. classic.
• shiner bock: they've changed the formula over the years. it's not as good as it used to be, but still pretty good.
• rosé. this one is pretty good.
• txakoli. my favorite white wine. otherwise, any white wine that is crisp, sour, and not sweet.
• i dislike red wine. it's too acidic for me.

other favorites

• sake (junmai daiginjo)
• soju (has to be near frozen to counter the alcohol taste)
• krug grande cuvée champagne
