BTW, I'm going into training. I took a look at our liquor cabinet and decided we needed to do more than just look like lushes.

We now own a martini shaker, 2 kinds of vermouth, 2 kinds of bitters, Maker's Mark bourbon flavored cherries (cuz Red Dye No 40 is OK when it's bourbon flavored), and 4 cocktail recipe books.

I'm perfecting my hot toddy recipe tonight.
