Pretty much my goal is to be able to make drinks that we can sip on while
watching movies, hanging out, or whatever. I guess I'm not the typical college
student just trying to get as drunk as possible as fast as possible. Maybe
starting small would be a good idea though. Any suggestions for a first drink?
I'd like to get a rum and a vodka - I consider those two to pretty much be the
essentials. What do you think? Thanks again,
Mike
