He's built like a sh*t brickhouse! I mean a sh*t . . . I mean a brick . . . whoops

Out of the contents of derspatchel's drinks cabinet and in honor of Mordecai Heller, I finally made and drank a Bunny Hug.

It didn't put me under the table (and we didn't pour it down the sink, as advised by The Savoy Cocktail Book), but I think it reintroduced Rob to his sinuses. I should probably fudge the proportions next time and use less absinthe, since the whisky and gin mostly serve as backup when equally distributed. It would all have come out of somebody's bathtub originally.

Cardullo's now carries the full range of Fentiman's, shandy and rose lemonade included. I have a bottle of the latter in the refrigerator. I plan to go back for the tonic water.

There are no words to describe Brian Blessed on QI.

Knock wood. This week didn't suck, either.

How about The Sovay Cocktail Book?

*ducks*

I recommend the Dandelion and Burdock. A friend used it as a mixer, but I can't remember what with.

I've had absinthe once; it put me into a kind of rigor mortis, and the next day, I could feel my brain cells popping like bubble wrap. Never again!

. . . I should have thought of that.

Bitter lemon and gin is like a gin and tonic with extra citrus, which I do not complain about.

It's a great description!

That was my first thought, in fact, upon seeing the words "Savoy Cocktail Book". Of course, I often misread your screenname as "Savoy", anyway.
