I’m not going to work on Friday, so we’ll see how that works out – evidently Johnny’s Half Shell has a special mixed drink for UVA alumni.  We’ll see how that goes.

After hitting Claire & Don’s and having a couple of Sierra Nevada Pale Ales, we went home and I made myself a double-sized Satan’s Whiskers.

Damn.  I keep spelling Noilly Prat wrong!

That was tasty (that glass is after I drank about half of it – Matt had a taste and liked it, though he felt it strong.)

Then it was Manhattan time.

The Noilly Prat made a difference.  I also made it (I think) closer to traditional proportions, 2 oz. of whiskey to 1/2 oz. of vermouth.  I may have made them with more vermouth in the past…and yes, those are bourbon-and-grand-marnier-soaked cherries.

A single sized Manhattan like that, then a double sized one with Fee’s Aromatic Bitters instead, and it’s time for bed – after I drink a bunch of water.

Tomorrow – depending on things – Shelly’s Backroom for lunch, Curtis Draper for La Gloria Cubana’s cigar rolling class, Johnny’s Half Shell for UVA alumni event.

And no tags tonight.  I’m lazy and drunk.  Okay, so a few.
