Disappointed in the OT tonight. The original and bestest "cocktail" is the Manhattan. 2 oz of fine bourbon or rye. 1/4 oz of sweet vermouth and a couple of dashs of fine bitters. STIRRED and not shaken for gods sakes.

When it's hot drink a gin and tonic.
When it's cold drink a gin and tonic.
When it's lukewarm weather, give me an ole' fashioned.

My favorites are as follows in no particular order because the situation dictates the drink. No idea if they're classy or not because I like them and DGAF other than that...

A nice red wine, a really good Rose is extremely underrated when the situation calls for white wine. There are only a handful of whites I really enjoy.

Old Fashioned
Sazerac
Manhattan
Good Bourbon on the rocks with just a splash of water
Slightly Dirty Vodka Martini, Straight Up
Vodka Martini with a Twist
Gin Martini
Mint Julep
Scotch on the rocks though I prefer it with a bit of soda.
A post feast Port and a Cigar does no man wrong ever...

That said, nothing says class like football season...
Beam and coke
Miller Lite
Jagermeister... ha
