Yeah, well, I could find Mr Peabody and Sherman and hitch a ride in the Wayback Machine …or try to remember what various people confessed to me about their adventures. The world will have to await the writing of my memoirs: Shirley Temple in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Aperol Spritz ready-to-drink. I’ve previously rolled my own (somewhere upthread). Decided to try these.
A bit sweeter than I remember my homemade one, but not bad. Certainly no waste.

An Amaretto Sour, because why not?

Water. Plain old water. Adam’s Ale. Delicious but very strange accompaniment to a great meal.

It’s Hump Day, so I’m in a celebratory mood…never mind that it’s also been well over two weeks since my last martini (!) due to that pesky sinus infection. But today I was ready.
Bluecoat, Noilly Prat, orange bitters. Deeee-lovely 
Sichuan peanuts for the perfect snack pairing.

Today, I treated myself to a Toffee Hazelnut Milk Tea from Mixue Malaysia, and it was absolutely delightful… Mixue has a great menu with a variety of options. If you love trying new drinks, their Peach Jasmine Tea and Brown Sugar Boba Milk are also must-tries!
Good to know.
I haven’t ordered any boba lately. I like the milk teas, brown sugar boba, and passionfruit boba
Let me guess…PIC’s fabulous 'tini. It always looks so simple, yet so seductive. Too bad I can’t do that anymore😥

I’ve significantly cut down on hard liquor, and my PIC’s really is almost 1.5 martinis in one glass 
Thats been plenty for me.
Rainy day means time for an Apple Sidecar:
- 1 1/2 oz. apple brandy (I used a mix of Calvados and Laird’s Applejack)
- 3/4 oz. Cointreau
- 3/4 oz. Meyer lemon juice
- Cinnamon sugar
Rim a cocktail glass with cinnamon sugar. Shake the brandy, Cointreau, and lemon juice with ice and strain into the rimmed glass. Garnish with an apple slice.

A delicious and warming Armagnac after dinner.

Sort of a cross between a Sidecar and a Final Ward/Last Word:
3/4 oz Khazak brandy
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz Maraschino
3/4 oz Faccia Brutto (Chartreuse is impossible here)
I was out of gin and bourbon/rye so made up this variation. Really nice!
