You should have stuck with bottled beer or simple 2 part highballs
like rye and ginger or rum and coke.

Probably quite wise of you.

Even this would be too complicated:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: The Presbyterian
 Categories: Alcohol, Beverages
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      2 oz Blended scotch whisky
           Chilled ginger ale
           Chilled club soda*
 
  Why a Presbyterian? I can't say for sure. Perhaps it's a reference
  to the nationality of the base spirit, and a nod to the Church of
  Scotland. Then again, the wholesome appearance of this drink makes
  it suitable for covert imbibing at church picnics; for all anybody
  knows, you're relaxing in the shade with a tall glass of iced tea.
  
  Whatever the provenance of its name, the Presbyterian is pretty much
  made to be enjoyed outdoors, preferably with a picnic blanket in
  sight and with a few blue puffs of smoke blowing off the barbecue.
  Incredibly easy to prepare, the Presbyterian also lends itself to
  the pitcher treatment: simply do a little math before the guests
  arrive, and pour everything together as everyone's starting to mill
  around the backyard (or deck, or fire escape, as the case may be).
  Then settle back with a plate of potato salad and whatever's smoky
  and sizzling, and watch the sun go down on a long holiday weekend.
  Just remember to plan more days like this in the summer to come.
  Procedure: Fill a highball glass with ice. Add scotch, and fill with
  equal parts ginger ale and club soda.
  
  * What if the club soda runs out? The Presbyterian is forgiving: it's
  okay to just use ginger ale. And if the ginger ale runs out first?
  Just switch things around; by that point, the Presbyterian wants its
  name back; you're drinking a scotch and soda.
