Bitters and Absolut because The National made me think it was a good idea a long time ago and I've gotten used to the depth and equal lightness of the drink. Woo!
Bee's Knees! (gin, lavender-infused honey, and fresh lemon juice). Perfect for any time because it's light and refreshing, but especially delish in the summer.
MANHATTAN - because I imagine being Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot.
Dark and Stormys. Or something fantastic with Whiskey
anything with muddles grapes. its very refreshing
Bushwacker, cuz it gets the job done fast.
White russian. Because sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, well, the bar eats you.
Hot Apple Cider Brandy because it's hot.
Recently discovered I love a classic gin martini. It may just break my rye Manhattan habit.
Favorite Cocktail: Manhattan
Reason: Don't fuck with a classic.
