Friday Night Rum Buzz. Ask me anything.

Tonight, a Black Devil. Rum and dry vermouth. With a garnish of black olive. It’s basically a rum Martini. Interesting.

I lift a glass to our beloved kentuck, who is suffering and in pain. Kentuck: we love you.

I’m not disappointed as I’m not a big fan of tequila except for the occasional margarita.

I did have a question, but I’ve forgotten it. I blame it on our three days in Napa and my second glass of 🍷.

Cheers!

I hope Kentuck will accept ours condolences and best wishes.

and I still haven't had my must have summer gin and tonic with a nice wedge of lime. I'll rectify that tomorrow.

It's been a difficult time for some in our DU family lately. They are in my thoughts and my heart tonight.

A cocktail of my own invention.

Vodka or gin, tonic, limoncello, and a splash of Aperol. Lovely…
