The BF has been getting into making cocktails recently. Since he’s weaksauce and doesn’t actually like drinking cocktails, I’m the lucky lady that gets to drink his concoctions.
This afternoon, we picked up some ingredients to make a Manhattan. I don’t know why, but I like old-man drinks like Negronis, Manhattans, and vodka sodas.
Using whiskey + blood orange bitter + simple syrup + ice (not shown), he made me something called an Old Fashioned. It was delicious. And it was easy. I think it will be my new go-to drink at bars.

Call me weird and a party-pooper but I actually hate sipping on alcoholic drinks unless they are Chi-Chis.
Do you hate sipping it because it tastes bad, or you can’t help but gulp it down? I think I’m more of a sipper, but I hate when all the ice melts and I end up with a watery drink.
I just don’t like the taste of alcohol but I like to get buzzed!! Lol. I don’t mind drinks that don’t have a strong alcohol taste but if it does, I’d rather take straight shots and get it over with quickly.
mm.. that almost looks yummy 😛
