Whew. What a week! Good thing we have alcohol to ease the pain.
This week’s drink comes from a recent eBay score: A fantastic bar book with a wooden cover called Here’s How from 1941. There are some great drinks in this book, and a ton of little illustrations which I love.
The drink also has the fabulous name of Whiskey Daisy. Love it.

One thing that was actually really nice this week is that we have a much happier baby!
Laughing like crazy. So cute.
Even Tom can’t hide his grin.
Similar contemplation faces. Hilarious.
“How is it?”
“Good, actually. Tastes kind of like a whiskey sour, but better.”
The Verdict: Good!
From The Tasting Notes:
Tastes like a whiskey sour, but with with a fruitier taste and smell. Good, and one we will be making again!
She is SO cute – good to see pics of her!
That is one seriously cute baby! Glad she’s happier for you!
So cute!
Sweet baby and the cocktail sounds delish!
Score on the book! I love any kind of recipe book with lots of illustrations. Otherwise, what’s the point? Your baby is adorable. You’re absolutely right. Tom’s and her exprression are in sync.
Bless you!!!!!!
I would LOVE to look through that book. Need I say, baby is adorable! Cheers!
I just love that there will photos in baby’s history that show her sitting next to a bottle of gin. We have one in my family of my brother holding a PBR can as a toddler and it’s been one of our favorite photos for decades. : )
I have a book that must be from the same authors. It’s also bound in wood and the type and cartoons look the same.
It’s called Just Cocktails.
