Or what has been your go to lately? I'm usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I'm trying to branch out a little these days. What're you drinking?

Currently sipping on a Paloma:

1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
.5oz lime juice
4 oz Grapefruit soda (Jarritos today)
Pinch of salt

I'm partial to the New Orleans cocktails. If I'm making a Sazerac, I like this variation.

On the whole, though, my favorite has to be the Vieux Carré

3/4 oz rye
3/4 oz cognac
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
1/3 oz Bénédictine D.O.M
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
Optional absinthe rinse (I usually keep some absinthe in an atomizer because I refuse to throw out perfectly good absinthe)

Serve in a rocks glass with a lemon twist

At the same time, though, my love for bitter sometimes draws me to a Bonsoni:

2 oz Carpano Antica vermouth
1/2 oz Fernet Branca
