That Time I Went to Cocktails in the City

I like Cocktails. Had you noticed? I mean, I set up a whole Cocktail Week to give me an excuse to drink them. I don’t claim to be any type of expert, but I love good, freshly made cocktails. I love the ritual of seeing them made, of serving them well, of garnishing them and how simple
