We are talking beverages of the alcholic sort this week boys, so buckle up, you might be in for a bumpy ride. The drinks I have chosen have been tested and approved by papa bear and the little bro. Do you have a manly drink that isn't beer?
Side Car

How to make it:
- Juice of ¼ Lemon
- 1 oz. Triple Sec (Curacao, Grand Marnier or Cointreau are also acceptable)
- 1 oz. Brandy or Cognac
Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
Scotch and Soda
Scotch & Soda
