Headache's gone! Time for Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a classic Whiskey Sour. Bourbon, or blended whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a marischino cherry. Yummy!

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…

A whiskey sour is such a tasty cocktail.

One of my first favorite cocktails was a Bacardi cocktail.

They are both so "old school".

I love an Old Fashioned, too. That is considered the ultimate conservative favorite cocktail. I’m a far-left liberal, and I love a good Old Fashioned.

I should get a bottle of Bacardi. It has a higher abv than a lot of rums. I’ll try it out in a Bacardi cocktail.

But I think it might be more properly called a whiskey flip. It was made in the blender with frozen OJ and lemon juice and ice and an egg (hence flip) and whatever whiskey or whisky he had on hand and some crushed ice. Sink a maraschino cherry in that in a champagne flute and your holiday morning was a happy place!

So, do you celebrate any other day but Friday?

And I am glad you are feeling better. Is your eye in the state to terrify children? (I had that once.)
