I've been hooked on makers for a while now. LOVE a makers manhattan. Had a few at dinner last night, think I'll be firing up some manhattans tonight too, gotta pick up some more makers today though. :drink
Do yourself a favor if you have not already become an Ambassador for them. They give you tons of free crap and have great happy hours that they sponsor.

This time of year they usually send me the coolest looking wrapping paper with tiny bottles of MM. I always use it at my white elephant at work.
Pretty cool that you get your name on a barrel and you can order a bottle from it.

Takes a while because you need it to age and wait for the folks ahead of you as well. I have been ambassador since 2001 and I think I got my bottle in 08 or 09. Was not cheap either.

Anyone into absinthe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe)? I got hooked on it from my trips to New Orleans
Yep, I have a couple of bottles in my bar.
Sadly I am on the wagon and am not allowed to indulged in mass quantities of cold, frosty, adult, beverages.
Long and short, my wife and doctor told me to chill for a while. No smoking and no drinking until I'm healthy again. I get a pass on New Years but I have a drink limit.
Gotta toss out my love for vodka, nice clean buzz, hangover is little to none. Cheers!

Word man. I'm lamenting the ban of Four Loko in Virginia tonight. I'm mourning with a bottle of Andre "sparking wine" and a vuvuzela in a Santa hat.

I'm not much for liquor these days unless it's single malt scotch, but Ketel One on the rocks with just a squirt of fresh lime is delicious.

Got my Makers Mark gift this year. A pretty cool mold that you fill with water that makes balls of ice to put in your glass when sipping MM.
Someone is trying to sell one here.

It makes a perfect sized ball with the MM logo on it.
If you click on the pic in this one you can see it in the glass.
