That makes no sense. :-/ I can see you drinking a brandy alexander, LK. What's your drink of choice? I like mimosas quite a bit and I'm not what one would call effeminate. That crisp and refreshing taste is really nice after a night of whiskey and beer. My fairly simple recipe for mix-based bloody mary is: Vodka, Zing Zang's mix, black pepper to taste, 5 dashes of Worcestershire, a couple of shakes of garlic salt, and about a teaspoon of olive juice and whatever garnish won't make you throw up if you've been drinking all night.
I do like Brandy Alexanders but in limited quantities. I tend to prefer gin-based drinks or something with Rye such as a Sazerac. And of course, champagne.
