That motherfucker like apples in his bourbon but not with his chicken?
To be fair to him, a lot of the stuff he makes just to try and see if it works and also to have a variety of flavors. Our neighbors will sometimes throw holiday parties, etc for our street and he started bringing his booze over and making drinks for folks. He’d never bartended before but had a blast and after a couple parties he became the go-to for drink-making in the neighborhood.

I have vanilla beans out the ass thanks to my trips to africa. Those B quality beans you get off of amazon and what not?
