Tis the season

A Bloody Mary, a crackling fire. Christmas is on its way.

 2021: 100th Anniversary Year of the Bloody Mary cocktail, invented in Paris

Bourbon Sours

This no-frills drink, or rather its sibling, the Whiskey Sour, became my go-to in-flight cocktail years ago thanks to a sweet older English lady seated next to me on my way from London to Arizona. She said she "always had one for luck" whenever she flew, and I thought it a great idea. You'll feel like you're flying too after a couple of these. - BPJ
