    These whiskeys don’t seem like they’re suited to being a replacement for the main spirit in a drink. They’re usually heavily sweetened, which isn’t the case for normal whisky, and much lower proof. Maybe if they were added as a modifier, or say 1 ounce of the flavored whisky and one ounce of normal whisky to raise the proof and cut the sweetness, they would work better.

    I don't know enough about cocktails to know if this qualifies as a different drink altogether, but cherry and lime go together well in nonalcoholic preparations, so maybe a Cherry Whiskey Smash with limes instead of lemons would turn out better. You might not even need to cut down on the amount of simple syrup just by cutting the sweetness with more lime.

    How to Drink series idea: I hear terms like "Pre-prohibition" era drinks, disco era drinks, modern era drinks, etc. I would enjoy watching you take your knowledge of cocktail history to carve out some distinct eras and give us cocktails that should be drunk from that era and cocktails that should end with their era.

    I think you have to mix with normal whiskey in most cases to lessen the sweetness overload. A normal manhatten with a splash of fruit whiskey is one of my favorites. Leopolds blackberry whiskey is great for this.

    When it comes to any drink variation (using a flavored liquor or additional mixer) I generally leave out the simple syrup to start. I figure you can always reintroduce it, but you can't take it out, and most of these always lean too sweet with their full measure.

    I really like that he called the coconut whiskey an abomination. My usual phrase for this garbage is “an abomination unto the Lord”. I’m a trainer for a wine and spirits company. When I talk to new employees (cashiers, stock clerks) I ask what they drink. Always have one who says “whiskey”, so I ask “What type?” The response is usually “I love Skrewball. You mix it with Chambord and it tastes just like a PB & J.” And another bit of my soul dies.

EPIC. a bit of the creme on rocks with a splash of that sugar.. it's helping. and that's one of it's purposes. we're lucky to have such things to enjoy. cherish every sip of life. I'll call the drink "Cilla's Send-off". awesome channel & group.
