Veterans Day isn't all about a relaxing day off. SOME people still have to work, and with the weekend peeping right around the corner, there is no better time than now to celebrate with a cocktail.
But not just any cocktail. Oh no, as it's Veterans Day we need to select a special drink and what better person to draw inspiration from today than General George S. Patton.
I stumbled onto a blog post called Delicious Attack, which features the supposed favorite drink of the esteemed General. Less a planned recipe than what looks like a throw together of whatever alcohol happened to be lying around at that time, you can adjust quantities to your taste. So from my computer to yours, I wish everyone a safe and happy Veterans Day, and as always, please drink responsibly. Patton would want you to.
