Who We Are |
Depending on your personality type, and palate, responsible drinkers may want to experiment with different “mix” methods for their whiskey spirits. The first preparation method, referred to as “neat,” is more or less straight up without any chaser or mixer, making this a popular choice among more refined whiskey connoisseurs. The second, and arguably most popular choice, “on the rocks,” is served with a modest amount of chilled ice to keep the drink cooler than room temperature. A more health conscious choice, “Water back” is another popular method, and consists of a separate shot accompanied with a chaser of distilled water. The last method, “cola back,” is just how it sounds and is served with a soda of choice. Keep in mind, when ordering, one can always insert the desired brand of choice into the order, to keep the flow light and simple.
