As we enter 2021, I think we can all say that COVID-19 has lasted a bit longer than expected. With this in mind, I decided to host a virtual celebration for the launch of my two new books (A Swipe in the Wrong Direction and Cataracts) instead of an in-person event. Thanks to Dallas On Air and my co-host, Robi Nickoli, the book launch event went well with no hiccups. After the event, Robi and I decided to stop by Eight Bells Alehouse in downtown Dallas for a celebratory drink.

She ordered a French 75, a drink I had never tasted. After just a couple of sips, I thought it had a great flavor. Not too sweet. Not too strong but it had a nice kick. Then, she told me it included gin. I was shocked because I typically am not a fan of gin drinks. However, this one pleasantly surprised me. What’s in it? Gin, champagne, lemon juice and sugar. Apparently, it’s a classic drink but I’m late to the party. If you find yourself in the Dallas area, stop by Eight Bells Alehouse to try this smooth drink.

In case you missed it, I’ll be posting the virtual book launch event here on my site. My new books are also available HERE. For now, raise your glass. Bottoms up….it’s Thirsty Thursday.
