Just call me bartender . . .

You hear, from time to time, that people
invent drinks. Me thinks some of them
should be named after our 2020 plague,
or should I say, meltdown!

I suppose it stands to reason, that being
nigh onto shut-ins, we're all getting rather
inventive with our drinks. I imagine we all
have a somewhat hit and miss menu of
home bars. Obviously, we have our fave
bottles of magic . . . and if we're on the
ball, there are the odd bottles of mixers
in there as well.

My guy tried screwdrivers, not quite my
cup of tea. I went for bloodies . . . forgot
I had mixer in the fridge, and let me tell
you, V-8s don't quite cut it! So, we went
back to our fail-safes . . . Margaritas!!!

We had all the ingredients . . . Tequila
and mixer . . . oh no, all out of Triple Sec!
So, made them anyway . . . alas, sans ice.
They were okay, do-able, if you get my
drift. I apologized to my guy about the
lack of Triple Sec . . . but, we decided
we'd survive.

This morning, I go into the kitchen and
noticed . . . the bottle was NOT Tequila,
it was Triple Sec, the mixer I thought we
were out of. Sooooo, where the hell was
the Tequila?! Guess, I didn't have any?!

Don't know if any of you have had the
privilege of a non-tequila marg, but 'tis
a 2020 marg! Wonder how much the
agents of booze will be willing to offer
me for that invention!!!

twenty twenty drinks
invents ever so much fun
