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

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Saketini. A Martini made with sake, plus gin, and a dribble of dry vermouth. Yummy!

I’ve been drinking sake wrong all these years. I ordered it warmed in restaurants. I didn’t know it could be served chilled. It’s great. Nice and plummy.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…
