Casa Bonita

Back in 2003, my life was dominated by midterms, finals, and the questionable dining options at Purdue. But Wednesday nights? Those were sacred. That was South Park night. I had a friend in the dorms who had two things going for him: a TV and a steady supply of beer from a local fraternity. I’d bring my girlfriend and we’d all huddle in his room, crack open a cold one, and soak up whatever Trey…

The Authentic Mai Tai

Joe — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 22:00:26 +0000

When it comes to drinking, I have two obsessions. The first is Bourbon, the second is the tiki drink. Arguably, the granddaddy of all Tiki Drinks is the Mai Tai.
