The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFriday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.
Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Rosita. Tequila, sweet and dry vermouth, and Campari. I dont have Campari, so I substituted Aperol. Yummy!
Just finished a brutal week in clinic. Now looking forward to a week of vacation. I need the break.
I love you all.
And with all these hearts, I feel loved in return. DU Loungers are the best.

(496 posts)Maybe Im just not much of an Aperol fan although I seem to like almost every other bitter alcohol concoction. I do like Campari, Vermouth, and pretty much any booze to finish. I also love to add fresh grapefruit juice to this mix with Tequila or various gins. Have a great night!

I hope you like it.

(71,922 posts)Interesting. I like Martinis, and I like olive brine. I just dont like the two together.
But I respect a person making a variation of a classic cocktail.
Enjoy!

(28,989 posts)We don't. I bought 2 cards from Trader Joe's - only 99 cents. I wasn't sure which one I liked better, and was going to take them out of the bag before going in the house to hide them, but forgot to do that. So, when my husband was helping to unpack the bags, he saw that there were 2 cards, admitted that he hadn't gotten one yet, so we decided to just stick with the two I'd already acquired and exchange them. They are blank inside, so at least we will write our own messages. I usually prefer blank cards because I'd rather express myself than just sign my name to someone else's sappy words.

(130,817 posts)was going on? What are your plans for the week?
I see that your bittter, at least tonight, is Aperol. Are you familiar with a bitter Amarao Nonino? Apparently the work of two sisters, very herbal.

(71,922 posts)It will be a while before hes back. Scheduling is routing his patients to the rest of us, with the result that there are fully booked days every day. No hope of cancellations or no-shows. Those get replaced very quickly.
On the plus side, every single patient I visited with this week was very nice. No unpleasant encounters. That makes up for the killer schedules.
