You not be very daring. Try extra spicey bloody mary's with a dill
pickle for garnish or a cherry hooker - an ounce or two of cherry
whiskey (not brandy!) slowly mixed with orange juice to create layers.
It tasting very good back then but not so much so now. DH loves white
rum russian. It's made with rum instead of vodka, kaluha, and milk.
Like as if he needs any extra calories

PS, I joke about DH's weight all the time. I'm 5'1" and about 110 lb.
DH is 6'7" and about 240 lb. To me he is a giant in more ways than one
Nicest guy you would ever want to meet. The most amazing smile
you've ever seen! He seriously is not over weight but I do what I can
to make sure he doesn't become overweight. Funny thing is, I have the
cholesterol problem, not him and that is after years of being so picky
about what I put in my body!
