Bottoms Up

Everyone enjoys the occasional drink. From the barely legal to grandparents, everyone finds themselves craving for something to help them kick back and relax. Being 21 means I am legally old enough to pay a visit to a wine shop and buy whatever I want to. Having parents who are very open and honest with me has made it easier for someone like me, especially being a girl in a world where alcohol and drugs flow freely, to recognize or be able to detect if a drink has been spiked.

Through this blog, I’m not trying to encourage or discourage drinking in anyway. I believe an individual is old enough and completely capable of making his or her own decisions about consuming alcohol. I am simply trying to make everyone aware of what alcohol is available and how you can get creative with your drinking, if you chose to read further. As you read further, I will break down the history of the cocktail and then go on to the various cocktails. For example: I will start with rum based cocktails. In that I will show you the various cocktails and give you easy recipes for the same.

This blog will also contain a multitude of photographs; something I’m hoping will make viewing my blog more pleasurable.

Till the next time.

Charlene Flanagan.
