Trying a new cocktail tonight. It's holiday week; don't judge me. [View all]

Enjoying a Montana. Brandy, ruby port, and dry vermouth. No shaking necessary; pour over ice into an Old Fashioned glass, and stir.

It’s okay. Probably won’t have one again. But it’s a check mark in my bar book with 1,100 cocktail recipes. Getting closer…

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas…

See you all right here tomorrow night.
