The Xanax is May 25th Drink of the Day!!

Since this is a long weekend, I don’t feel too bad about introducing two of these potent-type cocktails in a row. In fact, this one may be a little more so than yesterday’s cocktail. It calls for five liquors, one being the highly potent 151 rum, so be very careful and responsible when consuming this beverage.

Finally, a great Memorial Day weekend is what is forecast in my neck of the woods, which would be a first in my recollection. Hope you are enjoying some good eats and, or course, drinks with the ones you love and admire. Just be sure to be responsible and have a designated driver on-hand if you are enjoying the festivities somewhere you will have to drive to. Cheers!
