Since we're on the subject of gin, I just want to mention the Botanist. It's not just my favorite, it's the first gin I have actively enjoyed.

So good. So very good.

I like a number of gins, but Grey Whale was the first I ever really enjoyed as a martini. I should have asked the bartender what vermouth they used, too. :/

We love and use Grey Whale at home. Extremely nice gin.

It is as @Mannahnin said. I would only add that some recipes recommend using a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of cream and mixing it in a blender. In my opinion, that's the way to do it.

Made Amaretto sours last night. I use half whiskey half Amaretto.

I remember making my first "real" sours in 2020, when I got more into home bartending. With simple, lemon, and egg white. Such a revelation compared to the sour mix junk I drank for years in clubs.

Hell is actually just an infinite sports bar, and all they serve is sours made from a powdered mix, heavy on the sour.

I think you "get" to alternate those with cream-based drinks, so everything curdles in your stomach.
