LOL I'm an longtime bartender who experimented quite a bit on herself (do not try an irish flag, ever - ick - pretty, but it sucks - I had some gagging customers ...), I have a lot of favorites and non favorites - but must say with a soda mix I'd do a Birch Beer (clear root beer with a SNAP - from PA) and a whiskey. I get the birch beer from Williamsport area - love it.

that reminds me when i was bartending in new orleans, we had a generic red bull on the soda gun. if you look at a soda gun (at a bar) it's just one nozzle squirting syrup with several nozzles squirting soda water. so... i would block the soda water and pour just pure red bull energy drink (the syrup concentrate) into shots and dare customers to drink it.

a shot was the equivalent of like 3 red bulls straight to your dome. also, that much sugar gives you gut rot pretty bad.

Oh.My. I cannot imagine having red bull on the gun lol. If anything - I had the bar owners at one bar I worked at (usually I worked 3 bars for 60 hours a week - that was a whooooole lotta drinking too, hehe) who freaking loved Jaigermeister - nasty green crap - and so I had a huge machine in back of me with two pourers and openings for me to stash 4 big bottles of that stuff in it so it would deliver a shot to a perfect chilled temp. Needless to say I normally had drunken owners when they would leave at 6 pm (I came on shift at 6 pm - when they would stagger out). nasty green stuff. I understand you poop green too if you drink a lot of that stuff. yuck
