One moment that stands out from 2024 that might be the way to think about 2025: when I visited a bar for dinner, at the end, the bartender who I knew asked if I would do a shot with him. His persuading remark was "You never know if this could be our last chance together."

Perfect for New Year's Eve is my Fleming Fizz – a cross between a French 75 and the Penicillin. Epicurious found it in my second book, Boston Cocktails: Drunk & Told, and published it in 2020 here:

Coach Vino of the Progress Bar featured my Devil's Staircase in his video this week on apple brandy cocktails! The combination was inspired by a drink at Cure in New Orleans that they made me in 2009, and the name came from an IPA I tried years ago.

@ThrowingStonz@AP Trump succesfully got sued for sexual asssult in a court of law by one of the 27 real women who accused him of such acts. Franken was in a comedy sketch group and posed for a "funny" photo that got politicized years later.
Difford's Guide found and published my Gustin Gang that I created at Our Fathers gin bar in 2018 inspired by Drink's 1919 and Phil Ward's Lipspin! I amed this after a Boston underworld organization from the 1910s that became bootleggers in the 1920s.
