Tangle Ridge rye is a personal favorite of mine. I also like Crown, but Tangle is smoother. Mix that up with some Coke Zero, and I'm good to go!
As for scotch, it needs to be a high quality single malt. The best I've had so far is called GlenTurret - the wife brought some 12, 15 and 18 year old 2oz samples back from Scotland, but I've yet to find it here in Calgary.
