No rum/10

But that seems really expensive. Also, why ml? Because Im guessing youre not buying 1.75 millilitres.

are you kidding? go to your liquor store and tell me what a handle of Jameson costs... (it'll be a lot more than 40).

mL is the standard sizing for booze. .75 mL is a wine bottle or small bottle of hard liquor. the big bottles are 1.75 mL, called a "handle."

You're off by an order of magnitude. A fifth is .75 L not .75 mL. Ditto for handles being 1.75 L and not 1.75 mL

We dont really have liquor stores here but it costs the equivalent of about $25 for the Jamesons in question here. The going rate for that is about 600,000 dong.

I mean, yeah. Anything sub $50 is pretty much cheap shit. Doesn't mean it can't be alright but I don't fuck with Irish whiskeys and Tito's is way better than Goose.

Also why Cuervo? And why do you keep misspelling Cuervo? Lmao

the margarita mix recommends 4.5 oz to 1.5 oz of tquila but that's bullshit and it'll taste bad.

i did 1:1 with jose, 8 ounces of each, into a blender of ice and it was perfect. that mixer gonna last a longer time. tastes way better than a restaurant margarita.

i like shots and over ice for jameson and grey goose, but i wanna make some martinis also. i love white russians but my partner hates em so i usually dont do em.

wine is for my partner too but i might have a glass.

Youre at a 3 or 4. You knew enough to not buy absolute crap and tried but dont know enough to avoid the overrated stuff. I also lowered your score for the margarita mix. Mixes are crap, you should at least try to make the real drink. Its 100% better.

1.75 mL ...Jameson Whiskey ($39.99) ~Boring Whiskey, but serviceable.
1.75 mL ...Jose Quervo Tequila ($34.99) ~My stomach isn't into Tequila, at least beyond a tasting. Plus Jose Cuervo isn't even Tequila..
.75 mL ...Grey Goose Vodka ($23.99) ~Fine...it's just Vodka.
1.75 mL ...Svedka Vodka ($16.99) ~No need to mix it up with Vodka...or even spend money on it. Just dont go bottom shelf.
2x .75 mL ...Jose Quervo Margarita Mix ($9.98) ~I can't speak on the mix, I assume lots of supar.
3x bottles ...Apothic Inferno Red Wine ($32.99) ~My friend personally launched this brand. I even attended to NYC launch party as her guest. It's fine, and that is a reasonable price. But there are more interesting 'Red Blends' BTW: Red blend is a marketing thing. Tons of wines are red blends.

Anyway, you got your basics. I'd probably lean towards Bloody Marys or some more generic mixer for Vodkas....Avoiding the Tequila. ((That's just a personal choice))

I'd probably look for something more interesting than Jamo.
I actually got to test some Teelings yesterday.

For the Red Wine, that is fine.
But there may have been more interesting options.

A lot of it depends on the size of the store and what they have.

This.

The mix lowered your score drastically for me, too. Margaritas are easy to make.. limes, Cointreau, and agave nectar, that's it.

Vodka: Belvedere and Reyka are far superior than Grey Goose. I've gotten employees who hated vodka keep a bottle of Reyka in their inventory now. Stolichnaya, 42 Below, Xo would be other recommendations.

Whiskey: Crown and Knob Creek are my go to there, and I could go on forever here, but I won't and I'll leave it at those two.

Rum: Kraken dark spiced rum, the 94 proof one. Another liquor I could go on for a while, and that's because high end rums are great, but most people don't go beyond rum and cokes.

Tequila: 1800, Casamigos or Espolon are better for the low end... but I always just stick with Don Julio and Herradura.

Absinthe is my #1 drink of choice, though.

You're the only other person I've ever seen mention Reyka. Im another one of those people who hate vodka but I can drink Reyka straight. It's so smooth and a great price.

I know it, but I haven't tried it.
As I understand it is filtered over Icelandic Volcanic Rocks.

Which makes for sense than the Skull bottle Vodka...w/e its name is, that is stated to be filtered over Herkimer Diamonds, which makes zero sense. ((Crystal Head))

As someone who drinks primarily Vodka as their liquor of choice, Grey Goose is absolute garbage considering it's price. Buy...literally anything else, but particularly Luksusowa, Sobieski or (if still available in your area) Russian Standard. All cheaper and just as good, if not better, than Grey Goose.

Svedka is an acceptable mixer, but god help you if you're planning to drink it straight. I hope you have a really cold freezer and some really nice pickles on hand as chasers.

Jameson is my favorite whiskey, good pick there

Jose Cuervo is weird, in that even their pricier offerings just taste like Cuervo. Would recommend CasAgave for tequila, really enjoyed that one.

Grey Goose you're paying for the "Made in France" label (it's not better than any other vodka)

Svedka is okay.

Wasn't a fan of Apothic.

kraken just tastes worse than Jameson so idk about that. some people really like it but i'd rather have jim beam than kraken.

with jose and grey goose, they just taste a certain way and i wanted that. it's like you want a coca-cola brand coke sometimes.

last thing... jose cuervo margarita mix is fucking delicious if you mix it 1:1 with alcohol, as I mentioned. the box wants a 1:3 ratio, which is bullshit. making then with triple sec would be fine but i think the jose brand mix is great.

was not anticipating this level of snobbery tbqh. yall seem like a miller highlife kind of crowd.
