Dry red wines have historically been my drink of choice, though in recent years I prefer Texas margaritas (lime margarita with half a shot of Gran Marnier).

Any Scotch drinking members might appreciate knowing that I found an excellent single malt (Highlands) at Costco for under $25/750ml.

Favorites, in order.

Hard Stuff:
Jack Daniels' Tennessee Honey Whiskey
Clan MacGreggor (scotch)
Jagermeister
Bailey's Irish Cream
Southern Comfort

Dangit, now I want a drink...:laugh:

Until recently, I had used Clan MacGreggor scotch for mixing with soda, but it started giving me headaches. I’ve now switched to Old Smuggler. Just as inexpensive, a smoother taste and doesn’t give me headaches.

I've got the rest of your list on my bar, except my JD is Gentleman Jack. Irish Mist is my preferred honey whiskey. :)

In the winter Dark Rum and Coke. In the summer Gin and Tonic. There are some very good inexpensive Red Wine's here in Italy, but I only drink wine with food. Oh yes my favorite drink is Champagne.....
