Whiskey/ Burbon, straight up, neat. Taquila blended in a blender with ice triple sac or margarita mix till slushy, Gin only a breath of tonic shaken. wine red, white, rose' ever so slightly chilled Beer, American(gag) 29° in a frosted mug. Bier German slightly below room temp. Stouts English, anyway you can get it. Brandy room temp or slightly heated. Champagne is for breaking the bottle on the bow of a boat. nowhere is there a colored, fruity, or smoking drink in my vocabulary. OH yes the best for last Shine is best right out of the drip.
