We have a tradition in our house that we take a shot whenever a household member leaves to travel by plane. So my housemate Steve, a Patriots fan, a 60-something Italian from Boston, is leaving tonight to fly to Boston to wrap up his recently deceased father's household, move furniture out, etc. Great guy, despite being a Patriots fan. Besides, Patriots have had a rough go last few seasons, so mostly we commiserate with him. Anyway, this was our "shot" tonight with him before he left, to make this drink and each take a shot of it to "safe travels", me, my fiancee, and Steve. Thank you for the recipe, and the shotters unanimously approved!
