Headache's gone! Time for Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

I have bourbon, but I decided to use my Johnny Walker Black Label. My first, and likely only, bottle of JW. I find it overrated. (And understrength. Less than 44abv…) I’m just trying to use it up. Not a sippin’ whiskey; better for mixin’.

The Whiskey Sour was my very first favorite cocktail. It still satisfies…
