I rarely mix my own drinks since I was lucky enough to marry the bartender (okay, so he had stopped being a bartender years before we met, but his skills translated, and I am grateful every weekend!), but on the rare occasions G is out of town and I need something besides a glass of wine, I try my hand at mixology. Last week, I was craving something with strawberries and whiskey, so I decided to toss a few things in a cocktail shaker and see what happened. Reader, it was SO GOOD that it's getting a blog post! Sweet, slightly tart, and so refreshing, it's the perfect drink for a warm afternoon.
