Mind if I sit next to you for a drink? I’d rather not be alone right now...
If you’re not from Austin, then I need to explain that the University of Texas Longhorns are God’s gift to football fans around here. And, if you didn’t catch the BCS National Championship last night, then it will suffice to say that it didn’t go our way. So, if you’re a fellow Orange Blood like me, you’re probably ready to drown your sorrows. If not, show a little sympathy and join me for a toast to ‘almost.’
How to make a “Longhorn’s Lament” a.k.a. “Son of a Peach!”:
2 parts Peach Iced Tea
1 part bourbon whiskey
1 peach wedge
Serve over ice. Garnish with a peach wedge.
Whiskey is the best drink for mourning – that’s a scientific fact. So raise your glass to a season that just wasn’t meant to be. When you’re ready for seconds, have one for the injured star quarterback that got us as far as he did. And when you’re ready for thirds, toast the green freshman back-up quarterback who made a valiant stand against college football’s stiffest competition. After all, whiskey is also the best drink for toasting a new beginning.
Send me your mixology masterpieces. I promise to try them, and if they’re delicious I’ll share them here and post them on our website.
Cheers,
-Craig
