Vodka, I like Tito's. Smooth and doesn't need any help, maybe a few ice cubes. Mixing is best with Absolut or Stoli. If you're looking for a cheap mixer, Svedka is a head above Pinnacle, a little less sting to it. I like a little seltzer with my vodka, lemon or orange flavored. I've learned that hangovers get a big boost from the sugars you add to the alcohol, so I avoid the colas, juices, and premixed additives.
Tequila- Cazadores gets my vote. I'm an occasional sipper, it's great.
Whiskey, oh whiskey. My first love- 7-and-7's a la Mean Streets. Besides that mix, Seagram's 7 can be used to clean your boat, sanitize your toothbrush, and take the paint off of just about anything ;) I like to sip Knob Creek, Bookers and Woodford's are also nice.
Gin- is gross. An opinion born of too much bad gin too early in my college years. But there is a craft gin out of Vermont, Barr Hill gin, that is exquisite. It is blended with local honey. I dislike gin, but this stuff was great on the rocks and with ginger beer.
Rum- well, C-Mo gets a bad rap, but I like it on the rocks now and then with a splash of lime or some crushed mint, maybe a dash of sugar. I find it terrible mixed with anything, but with hot mint or lemon tea it is a nice treat on a cold night. Avoid Bacardi. I've yet to try Kraken or Sailor Jerry, they are on the list.

How about spiced rum?
Why avoid Bacardi?

My favorite liquor is a Polish spiced honey liqueur called Krupnic. Sweet and spicy and kicks you in the face when you're not looking.
yay finally someone else that knows the joys of krupnik. I tend to like sweeter drinks like that or sambucca. Also drink whiskey, black velvet reserve is the family fav. but i think i need to expand my drinking. A local distillery, Grand Travers, makes a great vodka.

Bacardi Oakheart is great. Kraken is good but nothing to brag about.
