The close proximity to canada has made me very fond of Labatt's Blue and Molsen Canadian, two beers I find hard to improve upon.
When it comes to cocktails (and it does from time to time)
I like (no, love) a Bourbon Manhattan, preferably made with Maker's Mark or Weller's, when available. At Christmas time I really like a drink called
"A Big Orange", basically a Manhattan where the Sweet Vermouth is substituted with Cointreau, the orange liqueur. Triple Sec and Grand Mariner make for poor substitutes, this is a quality drink, Angoursta bitters (2 drops) really finish it off well. It's tasty and gets you where you need to go fast.
Another drink I learned to like by following the career and life of Frank Sinatra is Jack and water on the rocks. You have to let it sit for about 5 minutes after it's mixed, let the ice melt a little, that's some good drinkin'
