Friday Night Rum Buzz. Ask me anything.

Enjoying a Rum Collins tonight. I’ve really been enjoying ‘granddad’ cocktails lately. Those old coots in the 50’s knew what they were doing when it comes to mixed drinks.

I love you all…

Stirred not shaken. You don't want it said of you, "He's ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it." Or just have a Rhodesian Sewage and get in an airplane older than the pilot.
