Yes, premixed. I bought it for a dirty Santa gift and ended up with it - I finished the exchange with a ladies’ scarf and a friend offered to trade the old fashioned for it just as we were leaving. I actually poured it over ice as it had sat on the counter. But it was just a couple cubes and the ice melted quickly while we sat outdoors.

What remains in the bottle is in the fridge and I will not be so liberal with my pour next time. And probably a little more ice than last time.

I had planned to order an old fashioned last night but the restaurant was slammed with multiple Christmas parties. Interestingly, the kitchen was working efficiently but the bar was backed up. The server offered to bypass the jam by pouring beer and wine herself. So, Jai Alai instead.
