SMOKEY OLD FASHION

I FIRST HAD THIS SMOKEY OLD FASHION AT THE LOBBY BAR IN THE GALE HOTEL IN MIAMI BEACH. AT FIRST I WAS JUST INTRIGUED BY THE SPECTACLE. (THEY TORCH A HARDWOOD PLANK ON THE BAR) THE DRINK WAS GREAT. A WELL MADE OLD FASHION WITH JUST THIS NICE FINISH OF SMOKINESS. THEY USE SIMPLE SYRUP AND REFUSE TO GARNISH WITH ORANGE. I DO GARNISH.

PARIS EN FAMILLE

OUR GOOD FRIENDS AT HERB LESTER ASSOCIATES HAVE COLLABORATED WITH THE MRS. (TRAVELS WITH CLARA AND MOMFILTER) TO PRODUCE A WILLIAM BROWN ENDORSED (AND PERSONALLY TESTED) PARIS MAP THAT IS A MUST PACK ITEM WHEN YOU ARE OFF TO HIT THE CITY OF LIGHTS WITH THE KIDS. (WORKS PERFECTLY WITHOUT THEM AS WELL.)

DO DROP INN

SOME FRIENDS BROUGHT ME HERE ON FATHER'S DAY TO HAVE A BEER. I WAS CONSUMED WITH AWE AND WONDER. ENJOY...

(NOT PICTURED IS THE RACCOON AND OCCASIONAL BLACK BEAR THAT COME TO SNACK AT THE WINDOW OF THE BAR, CHEESE PUFFS ARE A FAVORITE. SORRY I MISSED THAT... NEXT TIME.)
