When it comes to organizing fun, I plan and Husband executes. We joke that I’m the glitter and he’s the glue. A good team needs both. And cocktail making is just another example of how Husband and I make a good team: he makes them, I throw ’em back.
I do other things too.
And since we like to share the joy with others, we decided to put our glitter & glue skills to good use for you and start a new series of mixing easy cocktails that you could make at home in no time. For the time being (and since I don’t have a better name), we bring you Husband’s Cock….tails.
Since I’m pickier than he is, I’m often the one that comes up with the recipe or ingredients (I told you I did other things), but for this first cocktail, we picked ingredients we already at home.
Today’s drink is called a Fresh Whiskey – our take on the Mexican Paloma. Subscribe to the blog or to Drinking the Whole Bottle’s YouTube channel to get more easy recipes.
