Friday Night Gin Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

I’m out of vodka. I’ll pick up a new bottle tomorrow. Right now, enjoying my bottle of The Botanist. Hands down the best gin I’ve ever tasted. My stepson recommended it to me, and it doesn’t disappoint.

It’s made by an Islay distillery, the same Scottish island where they make single malts like Lagavulin and Laphroaigh. My stepson said their gin is smooth enough to drink neat, just like their Scotch.

I had my doubts. For me, gin is best as a mixer, when you want a tart, tangy cocktail with a bitter edge. Nope. He was right. The Botanist is superb gin, and I polished off a glass of it, neat, the moment I got the bottle home. I recommend it highly.

Now enjoying a Gin and Sin; gin, orange juice, lemon juice, and a dash of grenadine. Nice!

Finally done with new-job on-boarding. Monday, I start seeing patients again; five months to the day after being laid off. I’m very excited. The team I’m working with is superb.

Hope everyone is looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I love you all…

answer to why is why not 🙂

2. Agree on Botanist. Not a huge gin fan, but that is good and a little higher proof than most gins.

Enjoy.

[Aristus]

5. That accounts for the buzz settling in a little quicker than usual.

Cheers!

4. What's your favorite Led Zeppelin song?

Know idea why, that’s just what popped into my head.

[Aristus]

8. Not the biggest Led Zep fan in the world.

But “Black Dog” probably. Just some good thrashin’ rock music.

12. And we love you back. You ran out of vodka???

So happy that you are with a good team. May they continue to deserve you.

[Aristus]

13. Well, I still have a bottle of whipped cream-flavored vodka.

But, obviously, that’s best for mixing dessert cocktails. For all other cocktails, and for slamming, unflavored is still best.

14. Absolutely agree.. Although. . .I do not recall ever seeing that, or even

hearing of it. Will have to look for it. I do have a bottle of espresso martini from Trader Joe's. It made me think that your vodka, some chocolate syrup.. .

[Aristus]

15. Sounds yummy!

[niyad]

16. Chocolate and whipped cream. .mmmmm

[Aristus]

17. And a dreamy, blissful buzz to go with them both...
