Our Turkey Day wound up with us lolling around our living room floors in a tryptophan stupor. (Or maybe we were drunk again.) Fortunately, we’ve since walked it off and stand here ready to tackle the next 31 days with brute force. It may be true that we did abandon you over the long weekend because we’re super selfish like that. But now we’ve returned, with open arms no less, ready to embrace you with our endless stash of index cards emblazoned with prized cocktail recipes (and the occasional stab at a haiku). Every day, we will aim to bring you a shiny new cocktail hell bent on tickling your taste buds, raising your holiday spirits, and giving you the perfect alibi when you slip up and say something stupid. Cheers!
