Unlike most people, I love Wednesdays. Not because the week is halfway over, but because I get to drink. Then I get to write a post about it. The posts on Wednesday’s can be funny and even a bit racy. Today I hope not to disappoint. Today’s cocktail is the Alibi. What is the Alibi, [...]

Green Monster Cocktail
Every Wednesday I usually write a book review, but this week I was way to busy to sit down and read a book. I know it is a shame, but I have been extremely busy. So instead of reading a book, I made a cocktail. Who doesn’t need a cocktail half-way through the week. There [...]
