Or to find a local bar that will make that for me.
Try the Hotsy Totsy in Albany. That might not be particularly local for you.
Or the Alembic in the Haight?
Still not very close.
Downtown Oakland has some cocktailian bars...
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Oh, god, that sounds amazing.
It is SO good. I make my own syrup, then strain out the slices of ginger, sprinkle them with sugar and use them to garnish the glass (homemade candied ginger, basically). A little extra effort, but I'm worth it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
While there had been strain on the marriage, the final straw was finding out he had been molesting their daughter.
How truly awful. I am sorry.

He's aware that this is NOT carnitas, no? I mean, clearly not. But wow. He's not bright and I am shocked he can function in a real job.
I would like all of the cocktails tonight. Preferably the delicious ones. But I am not going to be picky right now.

when I don't feel like the effort, my quick cocktail is bourbon and San Pelligrino lemon soda. The tanginess of the lemon and the sweetness of the bourbon are lovely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Suzi, that's horrific. I wish strength and healing to your friend and her daughter. Also, I hope that man's balls fall off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, Suzi, how awful. I hope you get to see your friend soon, somehow
Javachik, let's find a local bar who will do that.
I bet Juliana can tell us where to get one...
I am totally craving a vodka gimlet right now.

Oh Suzi, how horrible. I hope you will be able to go see your friend.

I am as one with Cass on this (as I am with a lot of things). Stupid antibiotics, thwarting my ability to have alcohol.
