Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

I think I just invented a new cocktail! Vodka, tonic water, limoncello, and a splash of Apero. Yummy! I call it a Cascade Sunset. Give it a try.

I love you all…

Actually, for lots of people, this is ‘Friday’ in the end-of-the-week sense of the word.

The drink I am working to perfect is the mojito. I had the most delicious one at a surprising find of a restaurant at the end of a long day of driving in May. I will probably never pass that way again, but, while the mint lasts, I will cherish the memory.

Well, maybe I will try a Cascade Sunset before summer is over.

How are you feeling about celebrating the 4th?

Is the drink before dinner.

In Italy they have Aperativo in Italy
is the drink and snacks before dinner time. Usually 5-6 pm becasue dinner don't start until 7-9pm

I'm thinking the Apero is short for Aperol the liquor used in Aperol spritzes. If you aren't using Aperol you have to call tehm orange spritzes.

Too drunk to care.

I would like to stay this way until It dies. Someone wake me when it’s over.

The pub where always plan it closed early tonight. George, our game master, said there will not be a personal nor video gathering Sunday. I will have to listen to the sound of artillery fire in the neighborhood. Happy Independence Day.
