Cocktail
Scene |

Nobody likes to see a drunk on the dance floor and you should never drink and drive! Cocktails and highballs can be fun but drink them responsibly, have a designated driver
and for EVERYBODY's sake if you do drink give a non-drinking friend your keys. |

With that said ...
here's some old new-fashioned favorites
when a gin & tonic
just won't do! |
