Friday Night Whiskey Buzz. Ask me anything.

Tonight: a Scofflaw; rye whiskey, dry vermouth, lime juice, grenadine, simple syrup, and orange bitters.

I don’t have any rye, so I thought I’d substitute bourbon. Until I remembered that I drank the last of the bourbon last weekend.

So blended whiskey and then the rest. Yummy!

I love you all…

A scofflaw is someone who scoffs at the law, so it sounds like those 2 words smashed together.

You have a good weekend, too!

I’m at a stage in my life where if I want a bottle of something, I just buy it.

The same is not true with purchasing such things as houses, vacations, etc. But booze? Yeah.

We celebrated my husband's birthday by going to see Lene Lovich, Devo, & the B52s this evening! If you don't have fun at a show like that, maybe you don't know how to have fun! Lots of glitter & beehive hairdos! Let your freak flag fly!
