Question about serving Bourbon

[deb-in-mi]

We have new neighbors stopping by tomorrow evening for a little dessert and when we were discussing drinks he said he basically only drinks bourbon. So we would like to have it on hand to serve him but don't have a clue - how is it served? On the rocks, with tonic, etc. Your input would be a appreciated. I'm pretty much a white wine only (well sometimes some vodka and hubby barely drinks.

Thanks!

Scant knowledge here--John Collins or Old Fashioned or Mint Julep.

Bourbon and Seven or Bourbon and water are popular too.

I think I'll make up a little simple syrup to have on hand. Thank you!

Okay, that's how we serve ours! And on the rocks. Or in a Manhattan - how the in-laws take theirs. Cheap stuff in whiskey sours or bourbon and Coke. Colleen

Water, soda, ginger ale. I'd bet on water.

Neat, rocks, or with Coke.

Bourbon and Branch

Bourbon with water taken from the local branch. Usually served over ice. And just a splash of water.

He drank it straight!

Late to the party, but I was going to say neat or rocks if someone

specifically said they drink Bourbon. Most Bourbon drinkers don't want any frou-frou getting in the way of a fine Bourbon.
