Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

sweet revenge

 

Well, we have hit Friday again. This week it seems Friday came up and smacked me in the face. I didn’t have a lot of time to wish for it to arrive. I looked up and there it was. My favorite day. Last night I had a My GRL and His Revenge book signing and out of it came a delightful drink courtesy of my wife. She named it His Revenge since she mixed Sweet Revenge liqueur with lemon-lime soda. The liqueur is described on the label as “Wild Strawberry Sour Mash.” I think that just about describes the drink with the added value of 77 proof. The Revenge part comes the next day. Today’s JohnKu discusses the mystery of the morning after.

Laughter and good times,

Accompanied by a sweet quaff. ..

Dawn is agony.

    That’s pretty. Looks like a Lydia Pinkams label. It probably cures everything too.

    Classic. Now pitch it at some local bars and you might become as famous as Rob Roy!

    I think this cherry-colored concoction is right up the Professor’s alley, John! Your wife sounds like a very clever woman — I trust the drink was a celebratory one, not one in which to drown your sorrows!! Happy Friday, my friend!

    Apt Johnku. I like the description ‘Wild Strawberry Sour Mash’. Does the ‘Sour Mash’ refer to how your brain feels the next day? Hopefully you’ll be recovered in time for your Friday Margarita.

      I sometime wish I could say that but since I do drink I’ll just have to suffer.
