Basil Hayden’sFor me it's $20-$35What price point do you consider budget?I was trying to find a good budget bourbon, and bought a handle of Evan Williams. I must say, I am impressed. Obviously not as smooth as, say, Elijah Craig, but it is solid.

Tried a new beverage for this fine evening... it’s a winner. It’s called the Italian gentleman (hat tip to @slappybrown )
1½ oz Bourbon (had woodford reserve on hand)
1½ oz Campari
¾ oz lemon juice
¼ oz simple syrup
2 dashes orange bitters
Stirred on ice and then poured over ice. Tastes like grapefruit juice. It’s delicious.

I don’t think I’ve ever made my own Bloody Mary. As far as Pina Coladas, I’m a big fan of How to Drink and the last Pina Coladas I made at home followed his recipe.Anyone go through the trouble of making some Pina Coladas? Or any go to Bloody Mary recipes

Spent the afternoon at Lost Spirits Distillery in the Arts District in DTLA. Their tour is fantastic; they have a boat, you take a party bus on the freeway, and parrots do a spoken-word Welcome To The Jungle, and they finish you off with navy-proof rum.

Had my first taste of 12-year Knappogue Castle Irish Whiskey. Very smooth with prominent notes of vanilla/caramel.

Bluebird Rye Bourbon is such an intense flavour. It's almost the Laphroaig of bourbon. A must try.
