(08/11/21) In the news... California is the first state to require teachers and school staff to be vaccinated or submit to regular coronavirus testing, and the speculation is over regarding who the new "Jeopardy!" TV game show host will be after the death of Alex Trebek - executive producer Mike Richards and actress Mayim Bialik! With the bar officially open while we are not quite free to FULLY roam uninhibited (masks are once again mandatory while indoors due to increased spreading of the Delta variant), tonight's elixir is this simple #cocktail: St. Lucia 2.00 oz. gold or white rum (gold in this case) 1.00 oz. orange curaçao 1.00 oz. dry vermouth (very dry in this case) 1.00 oz. orange juice 1.00 tbsp. grenadine 1 maraschino cherry and orange wedge for garnish (optional) Paired with some lazy homecooked mac & cheese. Drank and dined while watching the TV series "The O.C. Season 3" streaming on @HBOMax.
