This week’s Thirsty Thursday is a little trip down memory lane 🥃🎉

When I asked Alex what cocktail he wanted for his birthday, he didn’t hesitate.

A Sicilian Kiss.

And if you know, you know… 😉

This one is a throwback to our Keystone Kelly’s days. Back when we were practically kids, this was one of Alex’s favourite drinks. Some things change over the years, but apparently his love of a Sicilian Kiss is not one of them.

Simple ingredients:

🥃 1 oz Southern Comfort
🥃 1 oz Amaretto
🍒 Bourbon cherries for garnish

That’s it.

Sweet, smooth, and definitely on the potent side.

While I tend to lean toward lighter cocktails, Alex has always been a fan of the darker spirits — bourbon, whiskey, and drinks with a little more kick.

When I asked him why he likes this one so much, his answer made me laugh.

According to Alex, a Sicilian Kiss is appropriate before the event, during the event, and after the event 😆

For me, it feels more like something you sip slowly after dinner.

Either way, this cocktail brought back a lot of memories.

A little nostalgia.
A little birthday celebration.
And a reminder of just how many stories can be attached to a simple drink.

Happy Birthday, Alex ❤️

And here’s a toast to old friends, great memories, and the Keystone Kelly’s era.

Cheers, everybody.
