Enjoying a Brandied Madeira tonight.

[Aristus]

Brandy, Madeira, and dry vermouth. Yummy! Just started watching Shonda Rimes’ “The Residence” tonight.

If ever there was a TV show that perfectly captures the Trump-Era zeitgeist, it’s this one. I’m pretty sure it was written months ago, but part of the story is the President doing something inexplicably awful to a close ally, in this case, Australia.

I hope Trump ends before the show. He’s got seven episodes left to do the world a favor and drop dead.

1. I've watched the first 6 Es. It's fun.

Enjoy the weekend. Sounds like you will with your doubly fortified wine cocktail.

2. Have you ever had a Graveyard cocktail?

In a 20 ounce pint glass pour, six ounces of a pale lager, six ounces of stout, a shot of tequila, brandy, scotch, bourbon, vodka, gin and triple sec. It's called a graveyard because of: If you drive after having one you'll end up in a graveyard, or if you make a habit of having several every day, you'll end up in a graveyard. I know a bartender who makes them and his rule is, you will have ONE.
