MrScorpio's drink is just a root beer float with Jack, which sounds more like a summer drink.

But in cold weather, an Irish Coffee can hit the spot:

Coffee
Sugar (preferably turbinado)
One-half to one shot Irish whiskey (Jameson is excellent)
Whipped cream on top

Et viola! You'll be singin' 'Danny Boy' in no time!

For instance:

I don't really like Jack Daniels or root beer. But I do like Coke(occasionally) and Laird's Applejack or Irish Whisky or Maker's Mark so those would be great substitution.
