Given your surprising quietness in response to the sober edition of Tippling Tuesday a couple of weeks back I wasn’t going to tell you that, thanks to a migraine, I won’t be drinking this evening.

Then it dawned on me: you people are lushes, so I might as well just ask you to do the drinking for me. You know you’re going to be knocking back a few, anyway.

Might I recommend tonight’s cocktail recipe as suitably apropos for both my condition and this annoying day on which people pull dumb ass pranks on one another?

Slow Death
Serves: 1 Venomite

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. Everclear
• 1 oz. Jägermeister
• 1 oz. Rum, overproof/151 proof
• 1 oz. Cinnamon Schnapps
• 1 oz. (100 proof) Southern Comfort

Directions:

1. Fill shaker with ice.
2. Add all ingredients and shake well.
3. Strain into collins glass.

What’s that you say? Drinking this will guarantee you’ve got a nasty hangover tomorrow? Darn straight it will, and I’ll most likely still have a migraine. As they say, misery loves company.

Drink up.
