A double shot of Templeton Rye with a short glass of ice water on the side to make it look decent. Sip it. The Templeton, that is.

I like corn likker, whisky, and whiskey.
The first is straight, the second with a little ice, and the third I sometimes mix with Coke.

Take one short glass, add McCallans, enjoy!
I also make a heckuva Lemon Drop
Frozen Absolut
2 lemons, quartered and squeezed into a shaker
Throw the squeezed parts into the shaker as well, but rub the martini glasses with one before it goes in
Add ice to taste
Add vodka till almost spilling over the top
Shake until your hands freeze
Pour into martini glasses
Go back for seconds or thirds if you are still standing

Scotch (Johnnie Walker Black) & Soda also a Premium Vodka Martini. Maker's Mark and Just ICE works for me too.
That's no martini, it's a vodka-based martini-style cocktail. A martini is a gin drink.
But your methodology is similar to mine. I usually take my martinis on the rocks. Put 1/16" of dry vermouth in the cap. Pour it over the ice. Holding the ice in the glass with your fingers, pour the vermouth out. Fill with Bombay gin. Add a couple of olives.

Yessir! But I'm afraid not to drink it....if Popcorn found out someone was collecting his moon instead of drinking it, he might come out of his grave and hunt them down!
I've got wide ranging tastes. Don't like the same thing all the time.
However, my current favorite is the "Dark & Stormy".
Tall glass, couple lime wedges in the bottom and fill with ice.
Add two generous measures of good rum. [I like Zaya]
Add couple dashes bitters and top with Ginger Beer.
Cheers!

A tooth has been bothering me lately so No Ice in the water.
Haven't tried Templeton Rye though - Been drinking Jim Beam Rye as of late. Good stuff. I usually go through 2 double shots before the water is gone
1-In a heavy on the rocks glass, add two ice cubes and two ounces of Wild Turkey. Sip until empty then refill once.
2- In a heavy on the rocks glass, add two ice cubes and two ounces of Johnnie Walker Black. Sip until empty then refill once.

A manhattan is the only good cocktail before dinner. Your recipe is fine, except that instead of brandy I use Canadian whiskey (which is somewhat odd, because I'm originally from Wisconsin, where brandy is king).A brandy Manhattan. Two parts E&J brandy, one part sweet vermouth or Rosso, three ice cubes, a dash of Angostura bitters and a Maraschino cherry. I only drink it at deer camp where it's the official before dinner beverage. Lovingly referred to as Manhattan soup!

If you are ever in MI, you are welcome any time....
A friend's father-in-law (USAF Ret) was visiting.
He said, "Hey, it's 5 o'clock - Martini time"
Walter told him that he didn't have ANY Martini stuff.
The old boy opened his brief case and voila - A Martini bar.
Gin, vermouth, olives and 4 Martini type glasses.
He set up the glasses. Opened the vermouth and passed it by each glass waving vermouth fumes toward them. Then poured the gin, dropped in a olive and away we went. I think we restocked his gin supply three times in the week that he was there.
The old man's liver quit a few years later - His wife threw the portable Martini bar away immediately after the funeral...

Come the first week in May, I do like a julep!
Take a sterling silver Julep glass. Into the bottom place three mint leaves, two cubes sugar and enough water to moisten. Take your hardwood muddler and muddle until you have made a light green paste.
To this add shaved ice to the top of the cup. Add with reverence good KY bourbon. Enjoy.
It is important that you make at least the first one yourself. If you are so inclined, you may relegate the making of subsequent juleps to your manservant provided he is attired properly in a starched linen waist-coat; however the first one it far too important to trust to anyone but yourself.
And remember-bet on the duck
