Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Highland Fling, a variation on the classic Rob Roy. Two and a half ounces of blended scotch, and three quarters of an ounce of sweet vermouth, instead of half an ounce, and orange bitters in place of Angostura bitters. Yummy!

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…
