I ordered a couple bottles of concentrated elberberry syrup a week ago or, they arrived today. Pretty tasty stuff actually. I could see it going well with vodka. Hmmmm.....maybe a candidate for a new Birdie Juice? Is it "smooth"? It's more of a "health" thing than a drink thing. Elderberry is supposed to be a "super food". I haven't had it with booze so I can't tell you if it's smooth or not. I'd imagine it would be with a top shelf vodka.

The Tito’s works well for me. I don’t drink much vodka and lately it’s all been with elderberry. I’m buying some Crystal Head next time I need some.

Tito's would be top shelf in my world. I did use to drink some Svedka back in the day, but that is more second shelf from the top kinda stuff. When I see people paying for Grey Goose, Absolut, Ketel One, etc. to be mixed into a Bloody Mary I can't help but laugh to myself. edit...I started adding the elderberry to my morning fruit/protein smoothies. If a guy doesn't like the flavor but wants to get the benefits, the smoothies are a good way to go. I actually enjoy the flavor of the stuff, but elderberry is a bit unusual in flavor. My wife doesn't care for it at all.

Add this one to my list. Chilled, straight. Tasty Stopped at the local liquor store to try and find this stuff ballotinwhiskey.com/flavors/bourbon-ball/ that we had last weekend. Definitely worth finding. They didn't have it, so I ended up with a bottle of salty caramel whiskey instead. Still very good, but the Ballotin is darn tasty.

I checked my local stores and they don't carry it. So now the hunt is on.

We sampled the chocolate and the caramel...and they were both really good.

Found the Ballotin Bourbon ball locally (LP Muni). Had it on ice. Had it straight. IMO straight/room temp is the way to go.

For anybody who has tried/enjoyed the Ole Smokey Salty Caramel whiskey and enjoyed it...Bird Dog makes a similar product. Higher proof, not as good flavor IMO, but lower price.
Both the Ole Smokey and Bird Dog are quite tasty when mixed with Dr. Pepper Zero FWIW

New favorite. Bacanora. Mexican moonshine. One of the smoothest alcohols I've ever drank.
