A Shirely Bassey as it was known in my localI prefer a black bush .
I’ll take one of those!
On the subject of cocktails, Youtube has been recommending me inappropriately sensual bartending videos. I never knew I wanted root beer bourbon so much.
A friend has invited me to visit his fine cellar to sample some Amontillado, but I'm hesitant to accept.
It's a literary joke. The Cask of Amontillado, by Edgar Allan Poe.I'll go, and say I'm you ;P

Fortunato is the ill-named friend (parental hubris, or his own in behaving badly due to counting upon his name being accurate? LOL) who accepted the invitation. Montresor was the host. I suppose in my joke I'd be an unnamed enemy of Montresor, since he didn't actually invite Luchresi (who was merely mentioned in order to lure Fortunato). I either had the sense not to be drunk at Carnival, or to be more aware of those I might have offended and thus more cautious. haha!His name wasn't Fortunado by any chance? Every wine geek needs to see the Corman version with Peter Lorrie and Vincent Price.

Or drink more, and then be oblivious enough to be beyond face-palming!I needa stop drinking for today.
A childhood friend had to cancel his 40th bash due to the covid lockdown. To cheer him up, and give us a little something unique to enjoy, I poured one shot each of 40 different scotches into a 64oz flask(made a bottle for myself as well) and dropped it off with a box of cigars. Ended up quite liking it, so I'm enjoying another glass this evening.

Japan is super serious about good cocktail bars.
I've been dreaming of this cocktail since I first saw this video, years ago.
We went down to Nara, but I didn't have a chance to stop in. I'm planning to go there, basically to get this drink, while we are here.
