When I moved to WA about a year and a half ago my dad turned me on to Crown Royal and Coke. I'm normally a Rum and Coke girl so this was new to me...not to mention that I don't like whisky. The Crown and Coke is amazing and now when I drink Rum and Coke, it's too sweet and has to go. My girlfriend is a little more hardcore than myself, she drinks her Crown with water. Seven and Seven isn't bad either. That particular drink is also a little sweet but I feels so much more grown up when I drink whisky that it doesn't matter. Lol. Again, my girlfriend goes all hardcore on me and drinks her Seven with water. I could do it in a pinch but prefer a little something else in it.
A good old fashioned Manhattan would be at the top of my list. For a real one you will want some rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, vermouth and bitters. Some marchino cherries will add a nice garnish.
This is a truly delicious cocktail, and classy to boot.
