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?

    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.
