As a Mrs. Seresin Simp™️, in honor of her husband’s love of them, how about Jake + mimosas?

Cheers, BB™️🥂🍾

Alli, these aren't just any mimosas—they are cranberry and prosecco mimosas. Mrs. Seresin most definitely serves them to coax Jake into checking a few things off their holiday to-do list. As a fellow Mrs. Seresin Simp™️, I'll be imbibing along side you. Cheers, my BB™️! 🥂🍾

See what others are drinking!

Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson was spotted supporting her rumored boyfriend, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo at the launch of his & his mother's Maker’s Mark collaboration (“Bam & Marilyn’s 1 of 1”) at Klaw Miami.

Also! Here is Edge's drink, a delightful Manhattan if I say so myself. Drink responsibly my dears!

Oh, you waxy lil’ bastard. 

Day 8 of Kensington Wine Market’s whisky advent is the wheaty, waxy Maker’s Mark bourbon. You have to love a brand that commits; even the mini bottles have the distinctive, excessively-waxed seal that adorns their standard bottles. Thankfully they come with a handy pull tab to get it off of there. And unlike certain French-bottled whiskies (I’m looking at you, Michel Couvreur) it won’t crumble into a trillion tiny grains that you find all over your damn kitchen for the rest of the week. 

Come to think of it, I’ve had the pleasure of unwaxing a few different bottles. Maker’s, sure, both big and little. But it has nothing on Garrison Brothers bourbons, which come in a variety of colours and a much smaller pull tab. While I haven’t been the owner, I’ve been present when two bottles of Michel Couvreur’s beguilingly-difficult-to-open monstrosities. Knob Creek uses a pretty tricky black wax. 

There are other neck adornments as well, like Longmorn’s old distinctive metal tag. But nothing beats a wax. And Maker’s is the king of the wax seal when it comes to liquor; it even won a lawsuit against Cuervo when one of its brands used a red wax. 

Of course, Maker’s also has a distinctive mash bill for a bourbon, leaning on a recipe that includes a healthy portion of wheat. Wheat can add a softer, sweeter element to a bourbon, and in Maker’s Mark that sets it off nicely.

The nose is unique, with cinnamon and mint jumping out ahead of a bit of ginger heat. There’s a note of dusty wheat chaff and almond, along with a deeply unexpected hint of strawberry.

On the palate, typical vanilla and honey flavours strike first, but oak, cinnamon and spices add some character. The finish is pleasantly warming, with an odd combo of black tea bitterness and something hinting at bubblegum, perhaps? It shouldn’t work, but it does.

お酒を飲みながら道具をカッコよく撮ってみます。

FUJIFILMのカメラはデザイン性に優れている（個人的主観）と思うので、カメラをカメラで撮影しても画になります。

いい機会なので愛用のカメラアクセサリーをご紹介！

X-T3は203 Camera Strapsのネックストラップ、CURAのあて革付き真鍮リング、アルトのソフトシャッターボタン、どこかのホットシューカバーを装着しています。

X-T20には同じく203 Camera Strapsのハンドストラップにどこかのホットシューカバー、どこかのソフトシャッターボタン、XF27mm F2.8をつけっぱなしで。

特にお気に入りなのはアルトのソフトシャッターボタン！

他にもシャッターボタンたくさんありますが、アルトのボタンは本体がとても薄いのでシャッターフィーリングが段違いに良いです。

マットな感じの塗装もクラシカルで良し。

ストラップは203 Camera Strapsの製品で統一しています。

付属の本革が渋くて好きです。

梅雨が長引いているので、あまり写真を撮りに行けていないです。
