Do you have a Costco membership?

The Kirkland American vodka is better than Tito's and costs 12.99 for a 1.75 liter. Best value for vodka in the land. period.

Literally save the cost of my membership in savings on vodka each year.

I'll give it a "shot" thanks.

I'm drinking vodka and soda. It's delicious.

That is a cocktail I do not understand. Vodka tonic or any of 1,000 other things great, but soda, why. Is it a diet thing?

It's a carbs thing. You can drink vodka with diet 7up or plain soda water and it won't mess with ketosis.

Also, seriously, try the Kirkland American vodka at Costco. It's fucking delicious.

Carry on brother! For the sake of my liver, I at least try and make it to Wednesday before consuming alcohol again.

I'm being kind of a bitch right now and drinking one of the sweetest cocktails of all time, an Old Fashioned (not the kind that Randy Marsh got, although that would be fine also).

It's complicated and time consuming to make, but I cheat, I use this stuff.

The other two ingredients I use are:

90% of the time it's beer maybe shots of Jack or something, but every once in a while a change up is called for.

I just use a sugar cube and some bitters. Don't take me long. I've got Buffalo Trace right now, but Breckenridge Bourbon is damn amazing.

I tried Rare Eagle, wasn't worth the price. Someone had Elijah Craig at a party and it was terrible. Buffalo Trace is fairly cheap and good. Breckenridge is my favorite right now. It was real smooth, but I just started getting into whiskey fairly recently. I have a muddler for the sugar cube, really doesn't take long to mash it up. I go heavy on the bitters though.

I grabbed a Knob Creek yesterday, middle of the road bourbon, I think. Going to try it in a bit.

Whiskey sour... like a real whiskey sour.

I have found most bars/restaurants don't make actual whiskey sours.

They just pour a shot of bourbon on ice and then some sour mix on top and don't even bother to mix it, much less shake it.
