Favorite cocktail
 
My absolute favorite is a ginger pear martini. I think there will be some who will be appalled at the thought of flavored vodka.

Back in the day (like a hundred years ago), my favorite was a rusty nail--scotch and drambuie. I'd be flat on my back after one of those today. But I do like those thingies in a copper mug. There are two kinds. I can't remember the names. We were at a brewery in Pittsburgh with extended family, and on the menu it said you either had to pay a $5 deposit or surrender your driver's license to order one. I was hesitant, but the waitress, obviously assessing my age, said Oh, forget it, you don't have to do either of those. Of course, I then carefully made sure I was the last one gone from our table lest the younger crowd get any ideas.

Thank you! I knew there was some Russian component in the name.

Anything with a little umbrella.

Actually, I only drink rum that I distill myself and the occasional shot of tequila.

They used to sell pre-made Harvey Wallbangers in the liquor store, but I can't find them anymore.

I haven't heard of those in years. Funny how some drinks go in and out of popularity

Wine is funny too. I remember putting little ripped pieces of masking tape on a mateusse bottle and rubbing brown shoe polish on it so it looked like a leather candle stick holder.
That sat on my gigantic
electric wire spool table.

I always tried to be different, so I would be accepted...as one of the crowd.
