  • It might be weird, since I’ve never seen it recommended as a “beginner” thing, but the spirit I come closest to liking (aside from overtly sweet liquors like Kahlua and Midori) is actually gin.

    As for a White Russian, I’m more inclined to just mix Kahlua and milk and skip the vodka entirely, LOL.

    I do happen to have some spirits at home, including some Montego Bay light rum and some “Red Stag by Jim Beam honey tea bourbon.” I had some of each with (store-brand) coke to refresh my memory, and yep, I can confirm that I don’t care for either. The rum and coke was worse than the honey tea bourbon and coke, though: I was able to at least get through the latter, whereas I had to resort to diluting the rum and coke with extra coke.

    Wanna really know how terrible I am at liking the kind of drinks people are “supposed to” like (as opposed to the ones folks are “supposed to” find way too cloyingly sweet)? I tried making a “triple sec and coke” and actually kinda like that one!
