So Axl Rose and Steven Mnuchin are feuding on Twitter.  I have no words for all the weirdness that is 2020, so today I will borrow from Guns N’ Roses.

“Welcome to the jungle / It gets worse here everyday / You learn to live like an animal / In the jungle where we play”

“Cause all these dreams are swept aside / By bloody hands of the hypnotized / Who carry the cross of homicide / And history bears the scars of our civil wars”

“And when your fears subside / And shadows still remain / I know that you can love me / When there’s no one left to blame / So never mind the darkness / We still can find a way / ‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever / Even cold November rain”

“It’ll work itself out fine / All we need is just a little patience”

Today’s drink is my version of a cocktail recipe I found, appropriately called “Wicked Behavior.”

In a shaker with ice, combine 1 1/2 ounce bourbon, 3/4 ounce pineapple juice, 1/4 ounce creme de cassis (black currant liqueur), 1/4 ounce Aperol, 1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice,  and 1/4 ounce honey.  Shake and strain into a coupe glass.
