Oh, joy. It’s that time of year again. New year’s resolutions will begin flooding my timeline. All the grandiose 2020 goals are surefire this year because…well, it’s 2020.

I recently caught up with a great friend at a restaurant we both love, Pappadeaux. I tried two of the drinks there but decided to use one of them to share with you all today. In fact, I’ve been a little behind in getting my Thirsty Thursday reviews out but I digress. The first drink […]
