Let me just state for the record that I would NEVER marry two different 
alcohols (I.E. pouring a half empty bottle of well vodka to a half empty 
bottle of Absolut....only two of the exact same liquor. And if I had my way 
about it, I wouldn't do it at all, but I need the bartending experience so I 
won't put up much of a fuss.
