the way you structured the sentence is a bit wrong.

Thank you very much both for your comments!
I really appreciate them.
I saw a man order like that in an American series, and I was still not sure about the scene and those lines of his, so I googled.
It seems “a water back” is an industry word.
It seems it means that you want water on the side with the whisky.
I had no idea that people ordered whiskey like this😳
Again, thank you very much for your help!! It was very helpful and very kind of you!😊
