No work tomorrow. So I'm enjoying a new cocktail: a Banana Pancake.

[Aristus]

Bourbon, amaretto, banana liqueur, orange, lemon, and lime juice. Yummy!

The recipe calls for rye whiskey. But I don’t like rye, and don’t keep it in the house. Bourbon works just fine.

Day off tomorrow, work on Tuesday, then off again on Wednesday. Nice arrangement.

1. Did you find this recipe on the internet?

Do you visit any particular site for cocktail inspiration?

Enjoy your day off tomorrow, Aristus.

2. A YouTube channel called Booze On The Rocks.

The host is an endearingly clumsy Canadian. Everything is ‘aboot’ this or ‘aboot’ that. He’s always spilling ice all over the place. And he insists that the mixologist must always smile when shaking the cocktail.

One can never tell if he is putting in more effort to shake the drink, or to smile while doing it.

This is the second or third drink he has featured that I’ve tried. It’s a nice break from my bar book.

3. You figure

you might host your own YouTube cocktail channel in retirement from the clinic someday?

4. Aristus's Aperitifs

you might call it.

5. Oh no.

I’m one of those people who can’t stand the way he looks and sounds on a recording.

I suppose I could write it while someone else is the face, so to speak.

6. Jon Favreau,

8. That sounds tasty Aristus....I had a Strawberry Fields Forever for the first time today

Damn good, even though I typically don't drink Tequila:

"Just like its namesake Beatles song, this strawberry drink will conjure youthful images of playing in fields on a summer’s afternoon. Strawberry Fields Forever combines strawberry-infused Azuñia Reposado organic tequila, Cocchi Barolo Chinato, Amaro Montenegro, and rhubarb bitters. The Strawberry Fields cocktail will take you down, where nothing is real, and there’s nothing to get hung about…Strawberry Fields, forever."

[Aristus]

10. I don't have any of those ingredients.

Your description of their effect on the drinker makes me want to get all of them.

SFF has always been one of my favorite songs by The Beatles.
