This is a safe place :-) So this falladay season, why not turn all of that off and listen to The Art Of Drinking instead? In today’s episode we learn about the Ward 8 cocktail, which does have political roots, but we don’t get into any politics – except for Uncle Brad, he has an announcement to make. Stick around for the history and an awesome tip inspired by @missykrissy719.
