For the right whiskey, it can also open up the spirit's flavors and aromas. { bidder: 'appnexus', params: { placementId: '11654157' }}, Fun comments to read, even thought they span 2 years now. You do have to remember to rinse them off after each use and refreeze them. A year ago at a bar in Boulder, I ordered a pour of Lagavulin “neat, straight, and up, please and thank you.” I was attempting to show off my ability to name a Scotch Whisky in front of friends, as I had just begun drinking these types of spirits and felt accomplished due to this new adventurous undertaking. I was so busy running my mouth and enjoying the drink the doubling didn’t register in my brain till I went to pay the tab. Cocktails are generally served chilled, although some (e.g., margaritas) may be served either with or without ice, and this must be specified. googletag.pubads().setTargeting("cdo_l", "en"); And as soon the cooler weather arrives, I am going for “neat”. { bidder: 'ix', params: { siteId: '194852', size: [300, 250] }},
Hey man, I’m not sure what a “slip of the tounge” is, but it sounds embarrassing. { bidder: 'ix', params: { siteId: '195466', size: [728, 90] }},

I’ve been of legal drinking age for 40 years and this is the first time I’ve ever had this sort of confusion ordering a decent single malt with water on the side.
