Season’s Greetings Deadsplinters. Whether you were celebrating or just enjoying a much needed day off, I trust you had a peaceful and socially distant holiday. And that it was better, not worse than you had anticipated.
The festive drink at my house this year is the Northern Lights Sparkling Cocktail.
- 1 oz. gin
- ½ oz. simple syrup
- ½ oz. fresh lemon juice
- 2 barspoons cranberry sauce
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 2 oz. sparkling white wine
Combine first five ingredients in a shaker, and shake with ice. Strain into a chilled flute and top with sparkling wine.
So, what was the best thing you drank today? The best thing you ate?
eh..im still stuffed from all the food…so it was all good…even the slightly burned sprouts
the local brewed ipa was pretty nice too
back home again now…soo..im just having me normal beer now
feel kinda bad for the missus tho…after making damn sure i’d make plans to be outta the house for the day at least so she and the daughter could have a quiet crimbo watching movies drinking wine and making crimbo dinner together me daughter decided to fuck off to her boyfriends for the weekend sometime this afternoon
seems im getting blamed for that too…but still i feel bad for her
…not sure that seems like a your-fault kind of a thing, there…seems more like a daughter (or possibly the mrs) would be on the hook for that change of plan
…& I guess I’d argue it’s good of you to feel bad for her?
eh…at the moment whether or not im to blame im to blame
tbh we need to go our seperate ways asap and see where we end up then
but housing shortage…kind of a bitch to move out on short notice (be quicker if i was willing to move out of town…but..i work here..and this is my house..im only gonna roll over so far…. im also a little concerned the landlord will just boot her out if i go….pretty sure its not as simple as me leaving and she takes over the rent contract)
Oh farscythe, you’re a good man.
lol thank you…but probably not all that good..im still mostly the reason we got to this point
just dont want to create an even bigger shit
I had German black lager in a German stein and chased it with a little Monkey Shoulder scotch whisky.
My friends, I rather enjoy these COVID-era holidays. Just the immediate family, no giant messes, nobody else’s bullshit to contend with. Life is pretty good.
I’m enjoying it too. Not only is it quiet at my house but it’s blissfully quiet in my neighborhood. Took the Great Beastie out for her walk in the 16 degree morning, didn’t see a soul.
I’m going to go drink some Vodka & hang out with my buddy Apetor, a Christmas tradition!
I’m going to drink bourbon and hang out with my daughter!
@LoveShaq, that was bizarre.
2020 was a little disappointing, nothing like the great 2017 video!
lol…..i thought he was finnish for a bit there (its the perkele)
scandinavians……only safe to be around when they are fully dressed
(the finnish are especially stoic…..when dressed)
anyways…its my hope to move over that way one day….i’d love a little cabin in a fjord and think i’d fit in
(course….im only safe to be around when im paid to be professional)
Tree molestation is nothing to joke about! Lol
Costco brand prosecco for me!
CHEERS!!!!
Prosecco is the perfect Christmas beverage.
