The VVC Cocktail Lounge: Hot & Spiked
Yes, that’s an alcoholic beverage in my ultra-cheesy chipped mug. So it’s not very classy, but my name’s spelled right, and who doesn’t love rainbows? My chipped mug has stood by me for the past 30 years, and I always turn to it in times of need. Alas, I am ill. Not horribly so, but […]
Compassion is Ageless

Tequila Sunrise
Another classic cocktail for y’all. And by “classic,” I mean from the ’70s—the original ’30s tequila sunrise was apparently quite a different animal. So get into ’70s mode: halter dresses and rhinestones for the ladies, turtlenecks and sportcoats for the gents, and no disease that can’t be cured with a little penicillin. Whatcha need? ½ […]
The VVC Cocktail Lounge: Drinking Pink
Why, yes, my orange slice is rather large. Thanks for noticing. Tonight, the VVC Cocktail Lounge brings you some pretty little things, both of which match my cheeks when I’ve had a few too many. The first is a watermelon martini. It’s light and simple, and goes great with giant fruit! For two “healthy” servings, […]
