What Would Don Draper Do?

66. Dear Don Draper, My friends have been pressuring me to adopt a "summer drink." I've held my ground so far. Should I continue to ward off their attempts to push Vodka and Gin into my double rocks glass?

Most changes to my drink order - which are seldom - are due to locale, not season. If I’m in an establishment with a specialty, like, say, an oyster bar or island shack, I’ll make an exception. Otherwise I stick to rye.
