I like gin mixed with Fresca.

Lately I've been experimenting with making hurricanes from rum, some
hibiscus syrup that I made (it was supposed to be jelly), and key lime
juice. Over ice in a tall glass.

E&J makes several different brandies. The VSOP is good for sipping.

Southern Comfort oughtta be good for basting fruitcakes.
