Love that glass!). I'd like to give this one a go. My husband's a big fan of whisky based drinks (and ones that give you 'your money's worth' in terms of shots!) so I think he'd love it.

Not even kidding, love them so very much. I stopped by to see the drink and then smiled from ear to ear to read about carousels. I must see this place John. I had no idea such a place existed. I need to go there, order a drink as fancy as this and cross another adventure off my list. <br /><br />You photos and recipes are stellar as always.

Then I realised I hadn't come by for this post and upon reading found out you are doing only one post a week! I see the time is getting the better of you too! I'm so far behind it's not even funny. I can't seem to catch up and that's only doing one post a week myself. Oh well, if I could drink, I'd down a few of these :) It looks gorgeous.
