Anti-Hayfever Smoothie
I have had hayfever for as long as I can remember, caused by certain plants and pollen.

The Garden Party Cocktail
I’m always juggling various obsessions in different proportions. My slightly OCD personality often sees me eating/listening/wearing/doing the same thing over and over until I get completely sick of it, and then moving on to the next thing.

I only have the very vaguest idea of what I’m doing and own just the most basic bar equipment. That is why I started this (somewhat sporadic) Thursday Tipples feature.
