Most recipes suggest you ratchet up the decrepitude even further by using Old Grand-Dad high-proof bourbon. Swap in some sour mix for the ginger ale, and you've got yourself a Grumpier Old Man. Come to think of it, that much sour mix would make a young man grumpy, too.
That's exactly what I did. So here is a bonus drink from the Old Man Drinks Cocktail Challenge:
👴 Grumpier Old Man 👴
2oz Old Grand-Dad 100 Proof Bourbon
1oz Fresh Lime Juice
Sour Mix Top
Pour Bourbon over ice in old fashioned glass. Add lime juice and top with sour mix.
2oz Old Grand-Dad 100 Proof Bourbon

Before I go into what I thought of the drink, Finn's Corner (660 Washington Avenue, corner of Bergen Street, Brooklyn NY 347-663-9316) carries the 100 proof Old Grand-Dad Bourbon as opposed to the 114 proof Old Grand-Dad. Now I'm not sure if the extra overproof would have made any difference in my POV, but for the purposes of transparency just wanted to be clear on which Old Grand-Dad we used. On to the Grumpier Old Man.
Whomever came up with the idea to "ratchet up the decrepitude even further" is one sick puppy. Where I found the Grumpy Old Man cocktail to be quite palatable, this drinks was as puckered as the prickly old dude from Monster House.
I won't be trying that cocktail again. The Grumpy Old Man, yes. No need to get any Grumpier.
I won't be working at Finn's Corner next week. I'll be hopefully be doing some networking at a book release party. Let's see how that goes.
Until Then Happy Drinking,
