Twenty bucks for a "handle." Nice!Touche! JB is always available at Costco for $20 / 1.75 L bottle. I drink mine with soda. So I'll leave the finer stuff to the @HAL Pilot 's of the world!
Reminds me of a night in college, after finishing the last exam, we were out of food and everything else- but we scraped together enough for a handle of rotgut, found some grape kool aide powder to mix with it (Purplesaurus Rex was the exact flavor, as I remember), and filled up plastic bag with ice from the salad bar in the dining hall. And that is how the "Barney" was first made...
If a bartender says, "I don't know how to make that drink" then those are the secret ingredients. It sucks at first but after about three or four it sucks less.
