"THE TRUE MAN'S DRINK"
YUKON JACK
I have no idea what it is, but Yukon Jack, in any its many incarnations, is some of the most wicked stuff this side of grain alcohol or 151 proof rum. The bottle calls it "The Black Sheep of Liqueurs," and let me tell you, they aint jokin. The original Yukon Jack will tear your throat apart on impact, and them blaze away in your stomach. There is nothing quite like it. Although the original flavor is the definition of manliness, it does come in other flavors. Snakebite, which is the original mixed with lemon juice, Peppermint, and Licorice. I've tried all except the licorice, and they all will cure what ails ya, if you know what I mean. Yukon Jack...a great, great man!
Besides Yukon Jack, here are some of me and my friends' favorite liquors:
Sam- Southern Comfort (sipped, not swallowed)
Len- Goldschlager
Mike- Rum
As far as everybody else goes, Mostel and Dave will drink anything that is hardcore, like Old Granddad 112, and do not seem to have any preferences. Nick likes shots of flavored schnapps, but never really has gotten too drunk yet...we're working on that! And finally, Steve the movie buff, tries mixed drinks he's seen on the screen. First, he tried to be James Bond, but gagged on his martini. Now he settles for White Russians ala the Dude in The Big Lebowski.
Now I'm not sure how you like to consume your alcohol, straight up, on the rocks, in a mixed drink, whatever...but let me recommend that you smoke a cigar when you do. Man, nothing is quite as good a nice hard liquor when combined with a fine cigar. Puts you in a relaxed state of mind. But hell, I don't even care, if you're drinking malt and puffing a Phillies, that's okay too, the combination is fantastic!
