What are you drinking tonight?

A boulevardier cocktail . . .

1.5oz of Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, 3/4oz Nolly Pratt red vermouth, 3/4oz Campari and a couple dashes of Orange Bitters.

Mixed it at 4:45pm, but it is already 5 O'clock somewhere!

Probably just black coffee. I've been hitting the scotch a bit heavy of late.

I really need too with this injured hand. But, after the last few days of self-medicating, I need to hold off.
Maybe if I take two Liver Aids with it.

Drink #1 was a Boulevardier.
Drink #2 was a Manhattan.
Drink #3 was a Manhattan.

Good night all. I've paid the price forward for whatever I feel tomorrow morning. But I'm pain free for tonight. Yes, I overdid the yard work today, my hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders where screaming in pain earlier today. But damn if the bourbon drinks didn't resolve the pain. And I swear bourbon is better than Aleve, better than Advil. and better than either of the 2 different opioids that I am prescribed for my rheumatoid arthritis.

But bourbon seems to work better than either.

I dunno why.

I've got cheap bourbon. I've got rare and expensive bourbon. Both work better than the prescription pain killers.

Enjoy. Whiskey is king.

Yellowstone bourbon out by the fire. On ice (which is unusual for me, normally I drink it neat). Damn tasty.

I'm drinking a non-alcoholic "whisky" that I bought from Meijer. I don't recall the brand name. It is not made by Meijer, but it is/was sold by them. It was also, at the time I bought it several months ago, sold by several on-line retailers.

I can tell you it cost more than a bottle of Makers Mark.

I can also report it is seriously awful. Sweet in a bad way. Thin on the palate. Very one dimensional.

Cannot recommend.

90 minutes later and my mouth still has a foul taste from the fake whiskey.

Went down and poured a shot of Redemption Rye that was 2nd aged in Rum Casks. So good. And so long to the awful taste of the non-whiskey.
