Despite being a proud owner of this cocktail classic -https://www.ebay.com/itm/177294818560 - my own preferences are limited to gin martini, Manhattan, Bourbon with seltzer water over ice and a twist of lemon, and g&t. Thanks to Esquire’s Handbook for Hosts, however, my martinis and Manhattans are second to none.

As for your frustrating day, please enjoy your evening and don’t let the bastards get you down!
