I'll just sip on a water and be designated driver. I can get drunk later

Bulleit is my go-to for cocktails at a bar. It's a fine flavor, widely available, and not too expensive. If you're ordering a cocktail you really don't need anything too nice because you're masking/blending the flavor with others. Buffalo Trace is my other go-to for the same reasons there.

Getting a nice bourbon neat, well, that's usually so expensive at a bar I'll only get it if the company is paying 😅

Woodford Reserve is my go to. More expensive but I tend to drink bourbon forward cocktails (Manhattan) so I want to taste good bourbon.

My favorite cocktail is an old fashioned. Depending on the bar, bourbon won't be the biggest differentiator. Some places hurt my soul and use too much simple syrup and make it too sweet. Others put a bunch of small ice cubes which quickly melt and that's not great either. Woodford is solid and widely available. I can't remember the last time I haven't had that stocked at home 😊
