Bourbon drink...

[tinhorn97062]

This is my own blend. Around my culdesac, it’s know as “The Charlie”. Many have tried to replicate, but have not been able to duplicate.

The picture is the recipe. Start with a full glass of ice, and mix by volume, according to the lines in the picture. It’s delicious. It’s refreshing. It’s an absolute crowd pleaser.

That sounds good.

I wonder how it'd do if ya make like a frozen margarita/Slurpee sort of thing.

I could always 'take 'em or leave 'em', but a lot of women seem to really like a mixed drink done that way.

I think this would be tasty in a frozen form. I have super sensitive teeth, so frozen drinks are not really my thing. I’d sure like to hear some feedback from somebody who wants to try this frozen though!

After 3-4 regular ones, you might be able to try it and formulate an opinion.

#1 I agree with you about the Evan Williams. Great flavor and smoothness of Jack or Jim Beam at a better price.

#2 I may have to mix these some of those up one of these days.

My old standby is 2 icecubes in a highball glass, glass half full of burbon, topped of with coke or pepsi.

I was 5 1/2 years old. Was staying with grandparents for a week. Grandpa had taught me how to row and take hand signals so he could go stalking largemouth bass. He caught a pair of 5 lbers that day and was in a truly good mood. We then went over to a little cove, anchored up. He pulled out a pair of split bamboo fly rods with automatic reals.

He had his rigged with a small poppin bug. Mine had a small pink jig 18" below a small bobber. Baited up it no more than settled on the water and it was gone. Now if you can imagine a small for his age 5 yr old boy struggling with a large bluegill on the other end of a fly rod. Well it had grandpa in stitches. We caught a whole mess before dark, and I got better at it.

He then showed me how to scale them. Then he would do the knife work. So with that all done, fish clean, boy clean.

Grandma is flying fresh fish for supper. So fresh they flipped when they hit the pan. Country fried potatoes and onions cooking slow on the other burner.

Grandpa had a fresh highball in front of him and when Grandma asked him a question I reached out and grabbed it, took a slurp.
Just in time to see grandpa's gray eyes PIN me to the wall. Without ever saying a word using hand signs he explained that if Grandma caught me doing that we were BOTH dead. So that was a no no.

And now 60 years later when I taste bourbon and coke I am transported back to that wonderful day. Snug, warm, loved, and all is well with the world. So that is not something I abuse or overuse. Maybe once a month, maybe less.

John Robert Cain I miss you sir! I think you'd be proud of the grandson you knew, the man he turned into.

What? No George Dickel?

That looks good gonna have to try that when the weekend starts . Even Williams is an under rated bourbon . I used to drink wild turkey American honey but the EW version is 5 bucks cheaper per bottle and tastes better imo

[winelover]

Another Evan William's fan. I prefer the 1783 Small Batch version for a few dollars more. My summer cocktail is Evan and Coke with the juice from a lemon wedge.

I like McCormick whiskey, it has a slight vanilla flavor

[farmbif]

that picture looks very inviting, the kind of thing that would make me want to take up drinking again. but have had too many days in the past waking up to breakfast of champions or a snow plow(vodka and milk)

[Cosmic_Charlie]

There are a lot of tasty whiskey drinks. Mint juleps, old fashions, Manhattans. They all seem to taste even better when someone serves them to you. I usually keep it simple and on the rocks.

I'm always ready to try something new from the bar. I really like the way you gave the visual instructions. I never mix alcohol and gunpowder, so I'll have to wait until 5:00 to give this a try.

[Pinger87]

Well, having me a taco party tomorrow night. Sounds like I know what I'm serving. This sounds delicious.

Nice story. Thank you for that.

Sounds good, save electricity and skip the ice, use the level lines as shown.

[tinhorn97062]

And here it is, in all of it’s tastiness: “The Charlie”

With the lines on that bourbon in a water glass I doubt that after 3-4 you'd be able to get up and mix another

[winelover]

Depends, on if it's before adding the ice, or after.

I make these with Pendleton Whisky and pink lemonade. Very tasty.
