Tonight, enjoying a cocktail of my own invention: a Cascade Sunset.

[Aristus]

Basically a vodka and tonic with half an ounce of limoncello, and a splash of Aperol. Yummy!

The color is reminiscent of that magic hour in Washington, when the setting sun touches the western slopes of Mount Rainier with pink and orange.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.

1. How many cocktails

have you concocted over the years, Aristus?

What's your fav that should have made you famous (more famous) by now?

[Aristus]

3. The Cascade Sunset is the only one of mine that I could consider a true cocktail.

Every once in a while, I’ll make a dessert cocktail with whatever I have on hand. Something like Irish Cream, with Kahlua, whipped cream-flavored vodka, coffee liqueur, and some Frangelico.

But it’s the Cascade Sunset that I would submit to a cocktail creation contest.

2. Drinking a "salted caramel" whiskey, and I know, a flavored whiskey? A sin for pure whiskey drinkers.

But it’s real good, I do drink it with a few ice cubes…..and so what, it’s Saturday…..just trying to get through this shit storm we’re living in.

5. Salted caramel whiskey sounds Heavenly!

I recently finished off a bottle of peanut butter whiskey. And it was wonderful. I hope my local big box liquor store has a bottle of salted caramel whiskey.

4. Finally having my much needed summer drink, a Blue Sapphire gin and tonic

After a stressful week, I am finally feeling a bit of calm.

Cheers, DU friends!

6. And you!

Blue Sapphire is a superb gin.

7. My first view of Mt Rainer was from Ft Lewis for basic training.

We were in Seattle a couple of weeks ago before heading south to Leavenworth, then Hood River before going over to the coast.

We love the Oregon and Northern California coasts in the summer when we escape the Gulf of Mexico heat.

Cheers 🍷
