The people who screamed and yelled when Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden at the White House

will be cheering what is essentially a bar fight with a referee on White House grounds.

I’m so over this trashy administration and its trashy supporters.

Enjoying a classic Moscow Mule tonight.

No new innovative cocktails tonight. No experimentation. No weird libations. Just a Moscow Mule. Vodka, lime juice, ginger beer, and ice. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Friday Night Gin Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Jamaica Glow. Gin, dry red wine, dark rum, and orange juice. Yummy!

Another successful but horrendously busy day in clinic. Time to relax and unwind.

I love you all…

Enjoying a Bella Bella tonight.

Gin (tonight, Hendricks White -excellent!), Campari, Grand Marnier, limoncello, and orange juice. As usual, with no Campari in the house, I substituted Aperol. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend…

Friday Night Gin Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Kyoto Cocktail. Gin, dry vermouth, melon liqueur, and a dash of lemon juice.

I finally broke down and bought a bottle of Midori melon liqueur. There are ten or eleven cocktails in my bar book that call for melon liqueur.

Yummy!

Relaxing and buzzing pleasantly after a horrendous day at work. It’s finally time to relax…

I love you all…

One thing all of us have in common with Trump's family:

We're all waiting for that slimy, smelly rat-bastard to finally fucking die...

Enjoying a Bamboo tonight.

Dry sherry, dry vermouth, and a couple of dashes of orange bitters. The result?……dry……

The orange bitters give it, against expectations, a bit of sweetness.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Waldorf Cocktail. Bourbon, Pernod, sweet vermouth, and a dash of Angostura bitters. Yummy!

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…

Planned drink for tonight: a Mickey Finn.

I just want to be unconscious for the next few months and years. Don't try to stop me.

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

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.

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
