    I would have to say a Mojito. Probably my favorite, on a sunny day. Nice blend of sugar, Rum, lime juice, sparkling water and mint. Not a strong drink.

    In your first post you say you prefer whiskey with an e and in the second post you seem to imply that the Americans make whiskey without the e.

    Isn't the only difference between the two words the spelling? I do believe that the one is the Scottish spelling and one is the Irish spelling. There are different kinds of whiskies/whiskeys but as far as I know it's not depended on the spelling but rather what is used to make the whisky/whiskey. Or am I wrong?

    Whisky - Scottish English
    Whiskey - Hiberno-English

    Names and spellings

    Much is made[39][40][41] of the word's two spellings: whisky and whiskey. There are basically two schools of thought on the issue. One is that the spelling difference is simply a matter of local language convention for the spelling of a word, indicating that the spelling will vary depending on the background or personal preferences of the writer (like the difference between color and colour or tire and tyre or recognize and recognise),[39][40] and the other is that the spelling should depend on the style or origin of the spirit that is being described. However, there is general agreement that when quoting the proper name printed on a label, the spelling that is used on the label should not be altered.[39][40] Some writers will refer to "whisk(e)y" or "whisky/whiskey" to acknowledge the variation.
    The spelling whisky (and plural whiskies) is generally used in Canada, Japan, Scotland, and Wales, while whiskey (and plural whiskeys) is more common in Ireland and the United States. However, the usage is not always consistent – for example, some prominent American brands, such as George Dickel, Maker's Mark, and Old Forester (which are all made by different companies), use the 'whisky' spelling on their labels, and the U.S. legal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits document[11] also uses the 'whisky' spelling. American brands using the Scottish version of the spelling of “whisky” tend to have been founded by individuals with Scottish ancestry or to have a flavour, style or marketing strategy that is evocative of Scotch whisky.[41]
    "Scotch" is the internationally recognized term for "Scotch whisky". It is rarely used in Scotland, where the drink is called simply "whisky".[42

    But yes the "how we make it process" obviously determined the taste. I prefer scotch/irish (smoky).
