OP lost me at grappa. Grappa is like modern art. People think it's cool and act like they enjoy it, but ignore those people, it's crap.

Whisky and blackcurrant. Tastes like tunes cough sweets. π I'm all up for mixing drinks and trying out new things, but not when it comes to Whisky. It's sacred and adding water is a sin let alone blackcurrant. Hang your head in shame Sir! I agree that you shouldnt spoil a good single malt, but that cheap blend stuff needs a mixer cos in most cases it tastes like vinegar.

My Dad used to drink 'Mickey Mouse' which was half lager and half bitter, some pubs were used to serving it but he got some odd looks from bar staff when visiting me darn sarf. Had a visitor the other day that drank whisky and pineapple juice, thought that was a bit weird, probably healthier than a lot of mixers to be fair. Used to drink the odd micky mouse myself in my youth The further south you go they tended to call it a pint of golden

My neck of the woods years ago it was mild and bitter we called it mixed but a, lot called it a pint of two's Now days I'll have the odd half of bitter And spirit wise partial to a drop of drambuie with a block of ice

I did a sizeable amount of growing up in Greene King country and even worked for them for a time. A good pint was their classic 'half and half', Abbot and IPA. Abbot is a great pint but not a real session bitter, add the two together and you can last on your feet that bit longer. ππ³

If you put a splash of peppermint cordial onto a pastis & ice, it tastes exactly like liquoriceπ«π·

I'm just on my way to Bargain Booze to "panic" but plenty of tonic and assorted mixers to see me through the hard times. Just been to one in Nantwich as was going home to Chester and they had 40 pallets being delivered when I was there. Were hand-balling the stock into a back store room, about 12 people.
