I'm not one to mix cocktails (If I'm doing that I usually prefer the good ol' caipirinha)... but I realized that's what I'll have to do. Earlier today I was even looking at some recipes... I like sour, lemony stuff and I'm taking suggestions for something extremely easy with not many ingredients.
I also have two friends who really like mixing with bourbon... I might give it to them as a gift, they usually go for much cheaper like Jim Beam, so I'm sure they would appreciate it... or take it with me when they're having me over. Not planning on buying anything else for a while... exceptions if a really good single malt I'm looking for pops up in a good sale.
I went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over budget this month. My rationale was, keeping only one or two bottles, they would dry up real fast. by having a solid base I can rotate between them and keep a lot of variety. that base is there now (probably more than needed, but no regrets).
