I can't stop drinking ..... John Wilkes Booth's and Tito's Vodka

One of my favorite bars here, Apothecary, is one of those bars where you tell the bartenders what you like to drink and they fix something up on the spot. I was there on Friday when they first slid one my way and then back Saturday just to have this drink, the John Wilkes Booth. How an 80 proof liquor mixed with scotch without any other liquid ingredients can taste so good and have absolutely no burn is pure magic. ROOT, the basis for the drink is brewed here in Philly and is fucking delicious with ginger ale too. The other thing I can't stop drinking is Tito's vodka. I have two of our faithful readers to thank for this one: Smore and Virginia put me on this a few weeks ago. I think I'm going to start calling it Valtrex, because there's no burn. Tito's is made in Austin, which is just one more reason Mike is a moron for not going to law school there and one more reason my kid will be only filling out one college application, UT's. For those of you in Philly, it's in the state stores now, and it's an f'ing steal at $30 a half gallon.
