I haven't been participating in these cocktail posts, but I have been reading them and trying to imagine what they taste like. Some of them, like this one, sound scrummy, as the British say

The thing is, I'm not much of a drinker. The only time I did any real drinking was in college over 50 years ago, and that mostly consisted of beer or cheap wine. Since then, nothing but the odd mimosa at a brunch.

I would like to try some of the delicious drunks you describe in these posts, but at age 74 and after decades of abstinence, I'm not sure how my body would react.

For now, I think I will continue to vicariously enjoy these lovely beverages through your posts.
