Friday Night Gin Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

A shot of The Botanist, Islay gin, smooth enough for sippin’. Now a Delmonico. Gin, cognac, sweet and dry vermouth, Angostura bitters, and a dash of orange bitters. That should do the trick.

I’m so unspeakably depressed. I don’t even have the words. I’ll pop into the Good News forum sooner or later for a pick-me-up. But if any of you have reasons to hope, please share them with me.

I love you all…
