Whiskey goes good with sour juices and mixes.

Technically, I believe, a cocktail is a mixture only of alcoholic beverages. So a gin Martini is, but a gin and tonic isn't. On that rating, then no, it isn't. But so long as it tastes good, who cares?
I rather like pineapple juice, but I'll pass on the bourbon, thanks.

You didn't "invent" it per sé. More like stumbled into a worst-kept boozer's secret. Checking online, it seems to be a Kentucky Cocktail...of one of these neo-traditional Kentucky Derby drinks:
The horses are approaching their gates and the Kentucky Derby is almost underway. While the most popular cocktail to enjoy while watching is of course the mint julep, there are so many other great bourbon cocktails worth stirring up for a change to tradition.
These seven cocktails, all made with Kentucky bourbon, are great any time of the year, but are simply perfect when watching the Derby.
Read on for the cocktails and be sure to let us know what you'll be drinking as the horses hit their stride in the comments below.
These cocktails originally appeared in an article by Maryse Chevriere, Editor at The Daily Meal.

Kentucky B&B
Using only two ingredients — the second "B" in the name stands for Bénédictine, a French herbal liqueur — this dry, made-for-sipping cocktail is as straightforward as they come.
Kentucky Cocktail
This equally easy-to-make drink puts the bourbon center stage — mixing it simply with pineapple juice. Served straight up in a martini glass, some opt to garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
Kentucky Mule
Between the ginger beer and splash of lime juice, this cocktail is a little like a bourbon-based riff on the Dark 'n' Stormy.
Derby Cocktail
This appropriately named drink, featured in author Ted Haigh's Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, combines bourbon with sweet vermouth, orange curaçao, and fresh lime juice.
Kentucky Sidecar
This Derby Day alternative to the julep is actually a play on another classic cocktail: the Sidecar. Calling for fresh lemon and tangerine juice, it spotlights the well-matched pairing of tangy citrus and smoky bourbon.
Louisville Cooler
To honor the city that is home to the big race, whip up this refreshing cocktail — a citrusy-sweet mix of orange juice, lime juice, powdered sugar, and (of course) bourbon.
Midnight Cowboy
For more something a little more rich and creamy, try this concoction made with bourbon, rum, and heavy cream. (Probably best enjoyed post-race.)

It's good for those who whine so much about how terrible climate change is for the entire planet, while contributing so much to those terrible effects themselves...
...to get drunk as often as they can.

After doing some research (about 2 minutes worth) it is any beverage with two or more ingredients with one being alcoholic.
The hurt my brain.

I'll be damned. To I have to wear a hat while I drink it?
Fuck you...
...tell us more about how the climate is going to shit, while you're contributing more of that shit than 95% of everyone else in the world.
Drink up, bozo...
...so you can find the liquid courage to demonize everyone but yourself again next time.

Is this because I dissed bourbon?
It's because you love to pontificate about man-caused climate change out of one side of your mouth...
...and have to sedate yourself with liquor via the other side of your mouth, knowing you live a life that contributes 95% of the very destruction you otherwise whine so much about.
Drink up...
...Liar!
