Two of the richest men I know -- zero relation to each other at all -- love screwdrivers (vodka, orange juice). But they are gen Xers, not boomers. And one is Jewish, not a wasp.

No love here. I just think how much tastier it would be with gin instead of vodka. Not a fan of diet tonic either, but I like the low-sugar ones like Fever Tree.
+1 I am also a gin person. My DH drinks vodka with lemonade all summer.

Didn't the rich mom in Arrested Development always have a vodka martini in her hand, no matter the time of day?

With abandon, from expensive glassware that may be inherited (who can be bothered to keep track really), and preferably prepared by someone else

Hot from under the car seat in the summer, straight from the bottle because their hands are shaking too badly to pour it into anything else. That’s the vodka drinkers I know.

Written by a snarky millennial wannabe. Rich female boomers are not drinking tequila or bourbon, especially during the day. And there's really no such thing as high-end bourbon. Good bourbon, e.g. Four Roses Single Barrel, costs all of $50 a bottle. Wow, so decadent.
You are a piker who knows nothing about nothing. Pappy 23 can go for 5-10k a bottle, yet you are citing 4 Roses? You really are an uninformed idiot. Furthermore, one never drinks gin except when it’s warm outside and you can get the good tonic, which is not allowed in the US. For example, the last time I had a gin and tonic, I was on safari staying in a 10k per night resort. Many folks will also drink rye, especially when it has been aged as part of the 4 year old Black Manhattan they make special at the Club. You don’t even know what club I speak of...Ha, Four Roses. You make me giggle. Vodka? You make me laugh.
Pappy. Could you be more predictable and cliche. This thread is about what spirits older male and female rich wasps(?) daily drink, vodka to be more specific. Nobody is daily sipping a $1,000 bottle of rare bourbon.
If someone is into bourbon, even if they're multi-millionaires, their daily sipper is going to be along the lines of Eagle Rare ($40), Four Roses Single Barrel ($50) or Blanton's ($75). Bourbon is not an expensive or an especially complex spirit. It's trendy over the last 10 years, hence your hard-on for it. 60-something wasp functional drunks ain't sipping bourbon out of a glencairn all day, ya dork.

DIL of a rich old WASP - martinis and then some G and T’s and some scotch once in a while, is what I have observed.

I do not feel rich but I own a nice house in a nice part of the Bay Area, and we keep ketel one in the freezer, and only drink it with soda water. We are liberal and have no dinesh dsouza books.

Vodka seltzer, vodka grapefruit, vodka on ice or cut with water.
I love the taste of vodka and it doesn’t give me a hangover the way scotch or wine do

Old money WASPS beg to differ.
I am the oldest of old and still very much plentiful money and YOU are wrong. Unless such folks are on the slide to poverty, the point of having money is to be able to put the best things in your body, including booze. I have friends with 10k plus bottle wine collections and high end bourbon and scotch rooms are their farms. No one hits the vodka.
This is true. My Russian friend resorts to vodka when there's intense emotional distress to forget (also has its uses as a household cleaner for certain items). Not for celebrations and special occasions.
