Friday has rolled around again,which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! Recently I received an email from a concerned reader that I feel like I may need to address here. They were concerned about my Friday Cocktails posts because writing to them seemed like I had a problem with alcohol. I wrote back and explained it was simply what I called our weekly check-ins. That end of the week little chat where I share what it has been going on.
Their response was to send me a list of websites and materials that could help me with my addiction. Okay, they were trying to help but I feel like I need to address that. I have never been one to drink much but I love making drinks if that makes any sort of sense. One year my brother got me a cocktail recipe book and we spent the entire next year making different recipes from it.
So the recipes you see here are the ones that I make for family and friends when we are having drinks. Some old favorites of mine and some new ones that we try out. I am not always the one drinking the drink at all. There are some beverages I can’t stand but think y’all might like them. I just didn’t want anyone to worry. I don’t have a drinking problem, well my soda habit needs to be dealt with but that’s for another day.
Although I do thank the reader for their concern. It was touching and thoughtful and I love when y’all reach out to me.

My son was offered a job and I’m very excited about that. Today is my birthday, so there’s that.
Happy Birthday
Its been a crazy week, I am nervous about a meeting I am having with my boss today!
My week was boring.
It has been a busy week. I have been helping plan my grandson’s birthday party this weekend.
I’m not much of a drinker either, but I do find cocktail chemistry intriguing! This week was stressful, but I hope to finish on an up note!
I caught a cold so I have been dealing with that all week.
I was super busy this week lots of running around, shopping, paying bills, driving and glued to the news.
It was a good week. My birthday was Sunday and my granddaughter’s birthday was yesterday.
okay
I had a fairly quiet week and I really enjoyed the relaxation and solitude.
I just got tickets to an upcoming concert, and there’s an eclipse tomorrow, so there’s a few good things to look forward to 🙂
It was a pretty boring week.
It flew by that’s all I know! It was kind of a depressing one to be honest. I’m glad it’s the weekend!
My week was a very mixed bag. Reading your article on dealing with stress 🙂
I had a good week
I had a relaxing week mostly spent at the dog park and drawing!
We attended a funeral for our great grandma.
We had a family dinner over the weekend and that was nice!
My week was ok kinda boring just went shopping, read, and homeschooled my son. It’s getting cold & I don’t like the cold lol.
