Was making a paper plane today, I always double the bourbon and add a splash of Campari. Amaretto/Bourbon sour, double the bourbon. In general, it seems drink recipes are often too sweet for my palate
Are there changes you always make?

By default, I 1/2 any simple syrup called for in any recipe classic or otherwise. I also feel that most drinks are too sweet for my taste.
The worst is when I am out at a nice cocktail bar and have a drink that is great aside from being overly sweet. I feel like a dick asking a bartender to make a drink differently, but I think most recipes are calibrated to people with sweet tooths.
Yeah it’s funny I have no problem ordering coffee half sweetened, but it feels like insulting the bartender to ask for an adjustment like that.
You’re ordering sweetened coffee? You mean like those coffee-milkshakes with flavored syrup?
Usually I get cafe con leche from the Cuban place in the morning, and ask for no sugar - if you don’t specify none they will drop in so much sugar it is nigh undrinkable.
But if ordering cold coffee without milk I do want it sweetened just not as much as the coffee shop standard. So “half sweetened” usually gets me there.
I do not like hot coffee without milk, and don’t like cold coffee unsweetened.
Not usually getting the flavored ones, no. Coffee is a flavor.
WTF, why don’t your coffee shops just let you sweeten your coffee yourself? I’ve never seen that anywhere with stuff like cafe con leche.
