I try to limit my time on Twitter.  I try, but often I get sucked in and get progressively more annoyed with each latest “trending” hashtag.   Some of today’s trends included “TrumpGate,” “Obamagate,” and even “Watergate.”

Today I will calm my soul with the ButterGate, a drink I invented to use up my bottle of butterscotch schnapps. I thought “butter” was an apt modifier for our recent unfortunate “churn” of events, namely the “spread” of the coronavirus.  And Trump is still not wearing a mask–how “dairy!” My ranting is making this post longer than I planned–I was thinking about “shortening” it, but nah.

In a short glass, combine 1 ounce butterscotch schnapps, 1/2 ounce Frangelico, and 1 ounce unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk).  Add one scoop of coffee ice cream and drizzle with caramel syrup.  Enjoy this one with a spoon, since this is definitely a dessert.
