Olivette Cocktail

I realized with some alarm this morning that today is Mixology Monday; some teacher I am, wandering in with my hastily scribbled homework just before the bell rings.
Jim’s Special

Give this one a try when you’re in an LA state of mind. Or if you just want an excuse to drink rum and tequila at the same time.
