Bourbon and cola

[PAspirit1]

I had a WTRR90 and Pepsi the other night. I wanted a drink and a caffiene boost at the same time. We were going dancing. It did the job, but I thought it was kind of sickly sweet like cough syrup.

JD and coke is good on a hot summer day. One is plenty if made right.

My GF likes JB white label and diet Dr. Pepper a lot. It's not my favorite, but I like my bourbon neat. It's not bad, just not my drink of choice.

My wife loves Dr. Pepper, but won't try any of my bourbon. While I haven't heard of this combination, maybe it's way to get her to give some a chance. Yeah, right. And Elijah Craig is coming over to my house for a nightcap.

I like me some Gentleman Jack and Diet when I'm drinking mixers...

Another vote for Mexican/Throwback/Jones real-sugar Cola with whiskey. I distinctly remember the switch from Old Coke to New Coke to Coke Classic--I switched to Diet Coke around that time, because Coke Classic seemed to leave an aftertaste that the Old Coke did not.

Anyway, sugar-sweetened cola has wound up being a luxury item, so it seems less demeaning to a good bourbon than it maybe should. I mix it 50/50 with either the commodity bourbon on hand, or one that I just don't like neat or OTR. I sometimes prefer it over a Sazerac, but I think that's just because I must have bought slightly oversized sugarcubes.

Started out just drinking bourbon and coke then moved up to neat/on the rocks. I still go back every now and then for convenience sake.

I don't mix anything with Coke unless it's Mexican Coke which is cane sugar based.

I rarely catch myself drinking soda cause it's all corn syrup fructose which I don't care for the taste.

I love me Mexican bottled Coca Cola! SWEET CANE SUGAR BABY! BRING IT!

I've yet to try corn syrup coke, I'm guessing its awful going by the comments on this thread?

I prefer burbon neat or on the rocks, but I also like bourbon and gingerale. I can accept bourbon and Sprite or 7UP (but not Sierra Mist), but the only alcohol I like in a cola is rum.
