Got a clear ice maker for the bar setup for Christmas. Just finished the initial cleaning runs and first two ice making runs. The first batch of ice still came out on the cloudy side, only semi-clear, but the 2nd batch of ice came out crystal clear!

Will be nice having clear ice cubes for the drinks moving forward. It melts exponentially shower due to the lower surface area (ice out of a typical ice maker is cloudy due to bubbles that get trapped as gas tries to escape the water, but can't as the water freezes from the outside-in), resulting in less watered down drinks for longer.
Clear ice makers freezes the water from the inside-out, ensuring the gas can escape the water.

Favorite THC seltzers?

I was gifted an Insight Flavor Pixels variety pack, which has been my favorite tasting so far. 4.1mg THC per 12oz can. Usually takes 2 cans to get me buzzing, though.

Northern Vibes with 5mg THC + 10mg CBD per 12oz can has hit me the hardest. Great buzz, good taste.

Bent Paddle Puff with 10mg of D9 THC is meh. Didn’t love the flavor (skunky) or buzz.

What should I try next?

Went back several pages (maybe I'm blind) couldn't find the "What ya drinkin" thread. So I thought I'd ask. What do you fellers recommend for a good bourbon. Most likely drank on the rocks or as a press with water and some 7UP. I'd like to keep prices reasonable. So let's hear some recommendations!

Disclaimer: Bourbon only to be drank when Carter is in the booth! Captain Morgan when Walz is in booth! (Way too much drinking When Wesley (my version of Johnny, Hartzy etc.) Is on the mic. Bourbon may be too painful the next day!

I don't know about the price part, but I like Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace, although I think both can potentially be hard to find around here

I have a Buffalo trace. I don't mind paying the 50ish bottles if they are decent. Might even splurge once in a blue moon. I've already got too many bottles of it. Bought 3 or 4 almost randomly. Have a neighbor coming over tonight, and he's a bourbon guy. Have 4 or 5 bottles that I think are solid choices for when company stops by. Just curious to see what you guys have to say. Might be something out there that I'm missing out on

Fair, I'm probably not the most helpful person here on this, those are the only two I drink and I drink rarely

Pretty solid bottom row....could be much worse

It ain't bourbon but it is my favorite whiskey. You can't go wrong with any Suntory, even the cheaper bottles.

I'll look for it next time I'm in town....

Reason I'm looking into the bourbon is I want to cut down on the pop. Morgan Cokes are good, but jeezus don't really need 4 or 5 cans of pop in a night of drinking.

Suntory is best neat, or with a small ice cube. Super smooth
